Let's talk about Canucks Practice + the Cootes & Malhotra thing

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 01:05:12 GMT

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we're breaking down the latest developments surrounding the Vancouver Canucks' future practice facility and what it could mean for the organization both on and off the ice.

A state-of-the-art practice facility has the potential to transform everything from player development and recovery to free-agent recruitment and the day-to-day experience for the Canucks' players and prospects. We discuss the latest updates, why this project is such a significant investment in the franchise's future, and how it could help Vancouver keep pace with the NHL's top organizations.

We also head to the 2026 World Junior Summer Showcase, where two of Vancouver's brightest young prospects are proudly representing Team Canada.

Braeden Cootes is wearing the captain's "C" for Canada, continuing to build his reputation as one of hockey's premier young leaders, while Caleb Malhotra has earned a top-six role as both prospects battle for spots on Canada's World Junior Championship roster. We'll discuss what we've seen from both players so far, why their performances matter for the Canucks' future, and why Vancouver fans should be paying close attention to this tournament.

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ The latest news on the Vancouver Canucks' practice facility
✔ Why the new facility could change the franchise's future

The Celebrini Celebration: "the Canucks are going to rock in my 40's"

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 01:04:44 GMT

The dream was alive when Connor Bedard signed a five-year deal with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Now, that dream has been kicked into overdrive.

On Wednesday, North Vancouver native Macklin Celebrini just became the highest paid player in the NHL on an annual basis. But that's not the news that matters most to Vancouver Canucks fans.

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan talk about what Canucks fans need to know about the Macklin Celebrini contract, and how soon the Canucks could land Celebrini or Bedard in free agency.

They're also joined on the show by Russ from Nothing is Perfect to talk about everything will soon be perfect for the Vancouver Canucks.

Counting Down the Days to Sean's Wedding - July 28. 2026

The Rossi thing & the Canucks signing Laine debate

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 01:08:05 GMT

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we're setting expectations for one of the most important players on Vancouver's roster heading into the 2026-27 season:

What should Canucks fans realistically expect from Marco Rossi?

After arriving in Vancouver with plenty of hype, Rossi has a chance to become one of the driving forces behind the Canucks' next era. Can he develop into a legitimate first-line center? Is a career year on the horizon? And what would a successful season actually look like for the talented young forward? We break down his offensive ceiling, defensive game, chemistry with his linemates, and why the pressure to produce has never been higher.

Then we shift our focus to one of the NHL's biggest remaining free agents.

Following reports that the New York Islanders have explored the idea of bringing Patrik Laine to training camp on a professional tryout (PTO), we ask the obvious question:
Should the Vancouver Canucks do the same? While nothing has been finalized, the Islanders have been linked to the idea of a low-risk PTO rather than a guaranteed contract, raising the question of whether Vancouver should take a similar swing on one of the league's most gifted natural goal scorers.

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ What is a realistic expectation for Marco Rossi this season?
✔ Can Rossi become Vancouver's next star center?
✔ Why this could be Rossi's breakout year
✔ The latest Patrik Laine rumors
✔ Should the Canucks offer Laine a PTO?
✔ Is the reward worth the risk?

The Canucks enter the season with plenty of optimism—and just as many questions. Marco Rossi has an opportunity to establish himself as a cornerstone piece of Vancouver's future, while the possibility of adding a player like Patrik Laine on a low-risk PTO could be one of the most fascinating storylines to watch as training camp approaches.

💬 Let us know:

What would you consider a successful first full season for Marco Rossi? And if Patrik Laine is still unsigned in September, should the Vancouver Canucks invite him to camp on a PTO?

What's the deal with Buium & the Canucks?

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:58:06 GMT

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we tackle one of the biggest long-term decisions facing the Vancouver Canucks:

Should the Canucks lock up Zeev Buium before the season even begins?

Buium has quickly established himself as one of the organization's cornerstone pieces, and with the NHL salary cap continuing to climb, there's a growing argument that Vancouver should sign the young defenseman to a long-term extension now rather than risk paying significantly more a year from today.

We'll break down why acting early could save the Canucks millions, what a fair contract might look like, and whether management should make Buium one of the faces of the franchise for the next decade. Buium became extension-eligible this summer, and several analysts have argued that getting ahead of his next deal could be a smart long-term move.

Then we turn our attention to one of the most fascinating names still on the market.

With reports suggesting Patrik Laine could be a candidate for a professional tryout (PTO) as he looks for his next NHL opportunity, we ask the question: Should the Vancouver Canucks make the call? While there has been speculation linking Laine to clubs looking for low-risk scoring upside, we'll debate whether

Vancouver has anything to lose by bringing in a proven goal scorer on a tryout and seeing if there's still another chapter left in his NHL career.

More proof the Canucks won the Draft + the NHL's worst contracts

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 21:40:16 GMT

Something new just happened for Elias Pettersson.

During The Athletic's annual article featuring the worst contracts in the NHL, Pettersson made his debut.

But, just how bad is the deal?

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan talk about the worst contracts in hockey. But, how many bad ones do the Canucks have besides Pettersson?

The boys also get into recent proof that the Canucks stold Adam Novotny at the NHL Draft.

And they also stole Caleb Malhotra.

Thank you for Canucks All Access for inspiring today's episode.

Braeden Cootes Player Comparisons + "Pettersson Says NO to leaving Vancouver"

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:59:50 GMT

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we're having some fun by comparing one of the Vancouver Canucks' most exciting young prospects to current and former NHL stars.

Who does Braeden Cootes actually play like?

Is he more of a two-way leader in the mold of Ryan O'Reilly? Does he have shades of Bo Horvat? Or is there another NHL player whose style, compete level, and hockey IQ better match what Cootes could become? We break down his strengths, ceiling, and why many believe he could become one of the Canucks' most important players of the future.

Then we shift to one of the hottest offseason storylines surrounding the Canucks.

Following recent reporting and speculation out of Pittsburgh, we discuss the latest buzz surrounding Elias Pettersson and the Penguins. Reports have suggested that, despite the trade chatter, Pettersson is not believed to be interested in waiving his no-trade clause for a move to Pittsburgh, adding another layer to one of the NHL's biggest rumor mills. We'll discuss what that could mean for Vancouver, why Pettersson continues to be linked to teams around the league, and whether the Canucks are better off building around their star center than moving him.

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:
✔ Which NHL player is the best comparison for Braeden Cootes?
✔ Why Cootes is one of Vancouver's most intriguing prospects
✔ The latest Elias Pettersson trade speculation
✔ Why Pittsburgh continues to be connected to Pettersson
✔ What his reported stance on his no-trade clause could mean for the Canucks

the Canucks prospect you forgot about + Randip Janda joins us to talk Vancouver & India

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:49:52 GMT

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we're joined by Randip Janda to discuss one of the most exciting hockey initiatives happening anywhere in the world: the Inaugural India Hockey 360 Festival.

Randip shares his vision for helping grow the game in one of the world's largest countries, bringing together NHL personalities, grassroots development, and a new generation of hockey fans. The India Hockey 360 Festival aims to introduce more people to the sport while creating opportunities for young players and strengthening hockey's global reach.

We also dive into the Vancouver Canucks' prospect pool and ask an important question:

Is Jonathan Lekkerimäki becoming the NHL's most underrated—or most slept-on—prospect?

While much of the attention has shifted to names like Zeev Buium, Tom Willander, and Braeden Cootes, Lekkerimäki continues to quietly develop into a player who could make a major impact in Vancouver sooner than many expect. Has Canucks Nation forgotten just how dynamic his offensive upside can be?

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:
✔ Randip Janda joins the show
✔ The mission behind the India Hockey 360 Festival
✔ Why growing hockey in India matters to the future of the game
✔ Is Jonathan Lekkerimäki being overlooked?
✔ Where Lekkerimäki fits into the Canucks' long-term plans

Summer of Change: Chatting with Jeff Paterson - July 22, 2026

BREAKING: Liam Ohgren of the Vancouver Canucks is going to breakout

@kylebhawan, trevorbeggs — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:59:16 GMT

Even though the Vancouver Canucks will be bad next season, you still want to see progress from the young guys.

And, there's one player on the roster with serious breakout potential.

Liam Ohgren was one of the best players down the stretch for the Canucks in 2025-26. Now entering his draft-plus-five season, is this the year where he really starts to put it together?

Beggsy and Bhawan touch on that, along with some rare shade being thrown towards Trevor Linden. They also get into just how young the Canucks are, along with other news, notes, and listener comments.

Connor Bedard to the Vancouver Canucks in 2031?

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 23:40:27 GMT

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we're looking five years into the future and asking one of the biggest "what ifs" in hockey:

Could Connor Bedard eventually come home to Vancouver?

With the Chicago Blackhawks signing Bedard to a five-year, $75 million extension that runs through the 2030-31 season, the North Vancouver native is now scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2031 at just 25 years old.
Is that significant? We think it might be.

We'll discuss why a five-year extension—instead of a maximum-term deal—has sparked excitement among Canucks fans, and whether Vancouver could realistically position itself to make a run at one of the NHL's biggest superstars when he reaches the prime of his career.
Of course, this is all speculation, and there's no indication Bedard plans to leave Chicago. But with the salary cap rising, Vancouver building a young core, and Bedard's hometown ties, it's an offseason conversation that's impossible to ignore.

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ Why Connor Bedard's new contract has Canucks fans dreaming
✔ What unrestricted free agency in 2031 could mean
✔ Could Vancouver realistically afford Bedard?
✔ How the Canucks' young core could influence future free agents
✔ Is this the beginning of a long-term plan—or just wishful thinking?

“He could be Kiefer Sherwood 2.0 for the Vancouver Canucks”

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:41:42 GMT

The Vancouver Canucks made some good bets in free agency, but perhaps none of them were better than the decision to sign Paul Cotter.

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy breaks down who the puck Paul Cotter is, what happened last season, and why he has a decent chance to be the Canucks next version of Kiefer Sherwood.

Beggsy also gets into the bizarre AHL head coach hunt for the Canucks, which ended in a hiring on Friday. He also lists all 11 ex-Canucks players who are available in free agency.

Boooooo! Quinn Hughes returns to Vancouver + Wright to the Canucks for Willander?!?

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:32:26 GMT

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we're reacting to the release of the 2026-27 NHL schedule, and one date immediately jumps off the calendar:

October 25. Quinn Hughes returns to Rogers Arena as a member of the Minnesota Wild.
It will be one of the most emotional nights of the season as Canucks fans welcome back one of the greatest players in franchise history. How will Vancouver respond? How will Hughes be received? And could this become one of the most anticipated regular-season games the city has seen in years? The newly released schedule confirms Hughes and the

Wild will visit Vancouver on October 25.

We'll also highlight the biggest storylines from the Canucks' schedule, including key rivalry games, difficult road trips, and the stretches that could define Vancouver's season.
Then we shift gears to one of our favorite offseason debates.

After doing even more research, Trevor Beggs makes the case that a Tom Willander-for-Shane Wright trade might actually be far more appealing than many fans initially thought. Is Vancouver's need for another young, high-end center greater than its need to keep one of the organization's top defensive prospects? Could acquiring Wright accelerate the Canucks' timeline more than holding onto Willander?
