August 2 2023 - Frank Corrado & Chris Gear

Matt and Blake discuss the Canadian 7 and where the Canucks might rank this upcoming season. They also talk about the plethora of centres in Montreal, and whether a deal could be struck to fill Vancouver's third-line centre role, as well as riffing off The Athletic's ranking of teams by contract efficiency and the progress the Canucks have made on that front. Frank Corrado returns from a summer vacation to discuss offseason training and how NHL players go about it, including when they're abroad on leisure time. Frank sizes up the Canadian 7, as well as some of the draft eligible talent at the Hlinka-Gretzky tournament, plus tells us about ex-teammate Sven Baertschi, who is reportedly retiring. Chris Gear joins to tell us about his new firm, Blackfin Sports Group, a consulting and legal firm based in Vancouver and specializing in the sports & entertainment industry. Chris gives us the lowdown on what they will do and who is a part of his team. He also handicaps the Elias Pettersson contract extension, and speaks to Baertschi's career in Vancouver.
