  • Love this show but…

    Rick seems to be regressing. So impatient and rude way more than necessary. Dial it back big guy…world does not revolve around you. You are not helping your team to be great.

    I’m still watching as great content over all and really appreciate all the people running the show. Thank you.

    I’m not really a Canuck fan, especially with what they have and haven’t done since 94. That being said this show is very entertaining. I listen to Red Wing podcasts and none come close to this show.

Q: What makes a good GM candidate in your view based on your research?

Q: Shane, if the Canucks have the third pick, which player gives them the best long-term value?
