StefanHOST
It's insane.
StefanHOST
These guys, Ryan Johnson seems very smart.
StefanHOST
Sedins know what they're doing.
StefanHOST
They're all saying the right things.
5 MINS LATER
AaronHOST
It
StefanHOST
feels like that, and it also feels like there were...
StefanHOST
Ryan, I don't know if you know this, there were a lot of reports when they were hiring Ryan Johnson and the Sedins that Aquilini's nephew was really heavily involved in it, and he's like 30 years old.
StefanHOST
And he, I think, runs the Vancouver Warriors lacrosse team.
Irfan GaffarGUEST
This is kind of known around in some league circles that, you know, he is available for Um, you know, and whether teams want a player like that right now or not, I think that that is a big question mark.
Irfan GaffarGUEST
Um, and really what it comes down to is what are they going to, what are the, what are, what is Ryan Johnson want for some of his players? What, what is the asking price for a player like Jake DeBrusque? What is the asking price for a player? You know, that, uh, a guy like Paul Cotter, right? Everyone thinks that off the season, the, the hot start that he had, and he's going to go into now the trade deadline and be like the number one acquisition out there, right? Or you look at a guy like Brendan Gallagher, like, is he going to be someone that they can move on from? So Jake DeBrus for me is the big one.
Irfan GaffarGUEST
I see people in the chat saying Philip Hronik is the guy, you know, Philip Hronik is the guy.
Irfan GaffarGUEST
Obviously Elias Pedersen, no move clauses are there, right? I mean, you know, Alan Walsh was very adamant about that a year and a half ago, I think, about Philip Hronik, you know, wanting to be here.
5 MINS LATER
Irfan GaffarGUEST
But you look at value and maximizing your options, and I just think that You know, there are other teams where players are going to become available that are better than what the Canucks have to offer and that other teams can be able to get for less.
Irfan GaffarGUEST
So I think you also kind of have to be mindful.
Irfan GaffarGUEST
I trust Brian Johnson.
Irfan GaffarGUEST
I think that, you know, he's the right man for this job and in trying to improve this hockey team.
Don TaylorHOST
No,
Rick DhaliwalHOST
I want to give credit to the Sedin twins and Ryan Johnson.
Rick DhaliwalHOST
They told LaCara Mackey before the season, you're going to be here.
Rick DhaliwalHOST
We're not sending you down if you have two, three bad games to Abbotsford like Foote did and Tockett did and Rutherford did.
Kyle BhawanHOST
All that being said, again, I think we have a player here in Trevor.
Kyle BhawanHOST
if he does struggle again, are you, are you worried at all that the Canucks don't lock them up long-term or view them as a trade ship or don't, you know what I'm saying? Because he was, if he's an RFA and he only finishes with 14 goals, I'm like, I could see a world where, you know, Ryan Johnson and, and, and, and the brass, like they, they want big hockey players, big ass hockey players.
Kyle BhawanHOST
Maybe they'd be hesitant to, to pay a guy like, like Karen Mackey to stay because I'm sure his agents like, yo, if Justin sort of, can get that much money.
Kyle BhawanHOST
I know, you know, sort of, what, 40, 50-point guy for one year or whatever and gets all that money.
15 MINS LATER
Kyle BhawanHOST
Because players like this like to have fun, and goal scoring is fun, but winning is the most fun.
Kyle BhawanHOST
Helping your team win because you score goals is the most fun.
Kyle BhawanHOST
So I think unlocking his potential, like unlocking William's potential in a couple years, it hinges on, like, Ryan Johnson and Henrik and Daniel and Manny Malhotra preaching and just, you know, just... preaching their program and like actually seeing real progress as a team for real.
Kyle BhawanHOST
So, um, yeah.
David PagnottaHOST
Yeah.
David PagnottaHOST
And look, Vancouver's hesitancy before the GM change and now with Ryan Johnson is we move Elias Pettersson.
David PagnottaHOST
And he explodes all over again.
David PagnottaHOST
Well, that, and you know what? And he's, I mean, from what we talked about, he's, he's, we're seeing old PD again.
Clay ImooHOST
I thought we'd have, after 13 games, maybe we'd have 10 points or 8 points, but not just 5.
Clay ImooHOST
But because of where we are in the rebuild, because of what him, Ryan Johnson, and the Sedins have said, because of the lack of talent on our team, and the fact that they have been playing losing hockey, sorry, They've been losing, but they haven't been playing losing hockey for a lot of their games.
Clay ImooHOST
I do not think Manny's job is in jeopardy.
Clay ImooHOST
I really don't.
Trevor LindenGUEST
You can't have better people.
Trevor LindenGUEST
in the leadership position there, Daniel Henrik, Ryan Johnson, Manny Malhotra, four of the finest people you'll meet, and I've been exactly where they are, and it's a tough stretch, but these guys are character people, and the one thing about Danny and Hank, when they played, whether they had lost four in a row or won four in a row, they always answered the bell, spoke to the media, they never dodged, and stand-up guys, and that'll serve them well.
Drew SavageHOST
This is an amazing prize that we're giving on our way on our website, move1035.ca. It's a year-long VIP membership to Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness for you and three friends.
Drew SavageHOST
And three friends.
ClayHOST
It was how much is Manny to blame? And I basically said zero.
ClayHOST
They set it up well, right? The expectations, him, Ryan Johnson, the Sedins.
ClayHOST
And I don't know who else you could put in here with this roster.
ClayHOST
with the performance and and say, you know, they could be doing way better.
ParkerHOST
And when they're not, I think things fall apart pretty quick.
ClayHOST
Yeah.
ClayHOST
What do you think of, um, Ryan Johnson speaking of culture, Parker, he always says it's not, you know, he talks about environments, right? Not culture.
ClayHOST
Um, I don't, I don't know if that's just word play or word speak, or if you, if you'd agree with that, I don't even know what that means.
Craig ButtonGUEST
They basically have American Hockey League goaltending.
Craig ButtonGUEST
And if I were Ryan Johnson, I'd be doing everything I could to try to get a steady goaltender in there that can just provide some consistent, steady goaltending, because they're not getting it.
Craig ButtonGUEST
That's how you lose 10 in a row, Rick.
Rick DhaliwalHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Rick DhaliwalGUEST
Very minimal upgrades over the summer.
Rick DhaliwalGUEST
The Sedin twins and Ryan come out and say it's not about wins and losses.
Rick DhaliwalGUEST
It's about everyday culture, you know, developing the kids, all that stuff.
Rick DhaliwalGUEST
This guy's in a no-win situation.
12 MINS LATER
Matt SekeresHOST
And he has very limited NHL bench experience himself.
Matt SekeresHOST
So I think this is where it gets premature.
Matt SekeresHOST
And based on the financial constraints that faced Ryan Johnson in terms of what ownership wants to spend in a rebuild, they went young on the staff.
Matt SekeresHOST
And that's going to take some time.
