Mar 26, 2026: Development or regression? Canucks youngsters running out of time to finish strong.

Matt and guest co-host Jeff Paterson discuss whether damage is being done to young players during this wretched season and by this overmatched coaching staff and its complicated system. Nils Höglander is one thing, but the young defencemen and goalie Nikita Tolopilo are others. They also discuss the merciful end of this eight-game home stand, another start for Kevin Lankinen, Filip Chytil skating again, the prospect pool moving on up The Athletic's rankings, Canucks players at the NCAA Frozen Four and a sweet story about a BC boy making his NHL debut.

Tyson Cole of Canucks Army and Rink Wide joins live from Rogers Arena after morning skate with the latest.

Rob Williams joins to discuss a needed coaching change, damage done to young players, the letter that went out to season-ticket holders, whether Canucks culture can change with Elias Pettersson still here, and how best to structure a Pettersson trade.

Other topics include World Cup qualifiers and Canada's opening-game opponent, ex-Whitecap Ali Ahmed's rise at Norwich City, opening day in MLB and the crowded sports scene in Seattle.
