Rob Williams: A very busy day of NHL moves and signings! The Canucks get in on the action

July 2, 2026: RJ cooks, Canucks to-do list remains: EP40, DeBrusk?

After an eventful July 1st for the Canucks, Matt and Blake have a ton to percolate on for today's show. The guys debate the next steps for the team and if their could be enough satisfaction with the job already done. The guys look at the opportunities still out there and if there is an overwhelming sense now that the rebuid is being taken seriously by the organization. Postmedia's Patrick Johnston drops by from Canucks prospects camp and evaluates the entire job done by the Canucks yesterday. PJ talks about the Pettersson trade, what's left in the career of Luke Schenn and the value of Oleksiak as a trade chip, plus, he looks at the Cotter signing as an upgrade on the 4th line vets from a year ago. Then it's a raucous chat with former Canadian head coach and 1986 World Cup player, Colin Miller, on Saturday's clash between Canada and Morocco. Colin breaks down the tactical adjustments that are possible for Jesse Marsch's squad, having attended Morocco vs Scotland in person. Colin also addresses a probably plan for Alphonso Davies in the match, and walks down memory lane on where this program has come from, to get to this point. The Sheet's Jeff Marek stops by for a deep dive into the Canucks' newly acquired 2030 first round pick and how they might use it. Jeff amaingly provides actual names that could be drafted, if the Canucks ended up using the pick! Marek lauds the work the Canucks did and looks at the climate around the NHL after a busy July 1st. Then the guys finish up with a further look ahead to Canada and the Thursday schedule at the World Cup. They check in on the health of the BC Lions and run down the baseball story as Nat Bailey gets set for a Max Scherzer start tomorrow! Thank you to our great sponsors: @bet365: It's never ordinary!

July 1, 2026: Schenn is back as Canucks get into action on UFA Day

Happy Canada day!! It's also free agent day in the NHL so Matt and Blake have you all covered with the latest signings for the Canucks and from around the league. The Canucks bolster the blueline with a familiar face in Luke Schenn but what will that mean for the young defencemen and opportunity? The guys debate the worth of the incoming forwards like Cotter and Thomas, and they continue to monitor the trade situations swirling around the club. We hear from reporters Jeff Paterson and Rob Williams, and we look around the NHL to see how the rest of the league treated free agency with so much cap space in the system. All that, plus the guys look at Canada's prep for Morocco, the Whitecaps suffer an injury, and the Vancouver Canadians will get a suprise start from Cy Young winner Max Scherzer??!
