Apre 21, 2026: Rutherford advising, Canucks owner deciding; Experience the key?

The playoffs are in full swing and the Canucks can't stop making waves as the offseason continues, so Matt and Blake have their hands full with storylines! The guys look at the latest reporting on the decision making in the Canucks' front, and corner, office. They also debate whether it's going to be a sharp, young mind that will get the job or a grizzled old veteran. Plus, a quick update on the Canucks prospects that are still alive in the CHL playoffs. TSN's Darren Dreger joins to give all the details on the Canucks' search, including the owner's role and the future of Rutherford in his current position. Dregs gets into the timeline for the final decision on the GM and whether there may be a second hire to be made in the event of a Rutherford departure. Darren also runs down the list of names that are theoretically available and especially the veteran ones that have been most vocal about getting back in the game. The guys finish up with a chat on Mike Gillis' future, here, there or anywhere. Then it's Rob Fai from the Vancouver Canadians to expand on his feelings regarding the mayor's MLB announcement. The former voice of the C's talks about the differences between fan interest, the likelihood of fans' financial support, and genuine, billionaire level of interest in investment. In the final segment, Matt and Blake take a look at the latest murmurs around the Whitecaps and the announcement in Vegas of a new soccer stadium. They also get into Whitecaps injury news for the weekend, the Lions celebrate the retirement of a former all star, and the PGA tour is saying aloha to a couple of tournaments?!
