Nothing Is Guaranteed in Vancouver

Sportsnet — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 21:13:07 GMT

Brendan Batchelor joins Jamie Dodd and Thomas Drance to assess what, if anything, can still be learned from the Vancouver Canucks’ final games, and whether a difficult season can ultimately benefit young players like Zeev Buium. The guys debate how much damage has been done to player development and whether the organization now faces a bigger task of “unlearning” bad habits. In the open segment, they challenge the “myth of inevitability,” using past Canucks teams and today’s roster to show how culture, leadership, and timing shape success. Later, Dimitri Filipovic joins to break down the Anaheim Ducks’ rebuild, playoff matchups, and what contenders across the NHL are getting right.

Sportsnet — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 19:40:12 GMT

With just four games remaining, Jamie Dodd and Thomas Drance assess where the Vancouver Canucks stand as end-of-season evaluations loom across the organization. Despite a strong second period against LA and promising performances from young players like Zeev Buium, Linus Karlsson, and Aatu Räty, bigger concerns remain around development — especially on the blue line. The future of Patrik Allvin, Jim Rutherford, and Adam Foote remains uncertain, with conflicting reports and little clarity as results continue to lag. As the Canucks trend toward their worst season in decades, the pressure is on to get key decisions right this offseason.

"that's why the Canucks can't draft Chase Reid at #3 overall"

@kylebhawan, trevor beggs — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:23:41 GMT

Vancouver Canucks fans have problems, and the hosts of Locked On Canucks are no different.

Reports emerged on Thursday about the player the Canucks prefer at third overall. But, there's a compelling reason why the Canucks should look elsewhere if they do fall in the draft lottery.

Beggsy and Bhawan touch on that, along with the Canucks primary mission before the end of the season.

Ryan Johnson: “The only man who can save the Vancouver Canucks"

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 23:15:41 GMT

Rick Dhaliwal is doing the work for Vancouver Canucks fans.

On Wednesday, Dhaliwal dropped a report that the Vancouver Canucks have denied Ryan Johnson an opportunity to interview with the Nashville Predators for the GM job opening.

It's a strange move, considering four other teams have allowed their AGMs to interview for the Preds' job. Unless, Ryan Johnson is truly the man who can save the Vancouver Canucks.

Beggsy dives into the Johnson report and discusses whether he should take over as Canucks GM, and whether he'd even want the job. He also mentions an insider's report about the Canucks favourite player at third overall, along with Foote's biggest mistake so far this season.
