June 22, 2026: Canucks aim for Canucks after Brady pulls a "Hughes"? World Cup update!

Oh Canada! Matt and Blake tackle some nationalism today as the Canadian men prepare the biggest match ever at the World Cup, and as the Canucks watch another star American player force a trade south of the border. The guys debate whether Vancouver's draft will be affected by the history of the Tkachuks, Hughes and Gaudreau. They also get into the return of the Brady deal and whether it's any better or worse than what the Canucks received. They also look at the reporting that the Canucks will not be drafting Caleb Malhotra because of his dad being coach. The 4th Period's David Pagnotta joins the show to discuss what he's hearing on all fronts regarding the Canucks and whether the prices are too good to be true. He looks at the possible going rate to acquire Jake DeBrusk and whether Elias Pettersson could have salary retained by Vancouver to facilitate a deal. Then it's Elite Prospects' Cam Robinson with his last pre-draft hit with the boys. Cam solidifies his thoughts on Malhotra vs a defenceman, but also adds in some uncertainty about what the Sharks will do ahead of Vancouver. Cam has a few more options for the Canucks at 24, and compares the back end of this year's first round vs what he usually sees. Matt and Blake are joined by KK Harvey, the 1st overall pick of the Vancouver Goldeneyes. She talks about her career to date, which already includes an Olympic gold medal, NCAA championships, and a whole closet full of other accolades. KK shares her thoughts on the idea of playing for the Goldeneyes and bringing her winning ways to Vancouver. The guys finish up with the latest from training for Canada, as they get a healthy body back in. The BC Lions say goodbye to a former starter, and the US Open finally provides some drama and.... controversy?!
