June 25, 2026: Canucks vow to pick at #3 and keep some vets, trades not imminent

The Countdown to the NHL Draft is officially on! Blake and Jeff are back to listen in on Ryan Johnson's meet with the media and get his takes on the possibility of trades and more. The guys hear the update on Thatcher Demko as well, and on when the Canucks' coaching bench will be filled out. Then the boys check in on Canada's path at the World Cup, which became more clear last night, and the latest on Alphonso Davies' availability for that match. TSN's Frank Corrado stops to discuss all the wheeling and dealing we've seen in the NHL. Frank gets into the Sharks moves to get picks, the Blues as well, not to mention the Capitals loading up. Frank comments on the Canucks inactivity and whether there's reason for concern, and whether their pick at number 3 may have changed with the Sharks moves. Then the guys go deep into the draft with draft expert Will Scouch, who has a very unique top 15 draft ranking! He defends his love for players like Tynan Lawrence, Mathis Preston and Alberts Smits. Plus, is Caleb Malhotra his 3rd best centre in the draft?! The guys wrap up with the full baseball story, the Giants make a big hire, and the BC Lions limp into Kelowna!
