Johnson vs Gold & Why the Canucks skipped Zach Benson

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Fri, 08 May 2026 23:43:04 GMT

Kyle Bhawan had it first.

Recently during Locked ON Canucks, Bhawan predicted that a Ryan Johnson/Evan Gold duo could work in the Vancouver Canucks front office.

Beggsy was skeptical, but there's reason to believe it could work.

It sounds like at least one thing is true: it's either a tandem of Johnson/Gold, or it's Johnson vs. Gold for the Canucks front office.

The boys dive deeper into their work and reputations behind the scenes. They also look at Zach Benson in the NHL playoffs and debate whether the Canucks made the right decision in picking Tom Willander over him.
