May 27, 2026: Canucks don't perceive Malhotra conflict of interest; would they let Stenberg slip through fingers?

Matt and co-host Jeff Paterson discuss whether the Canucks can afford to let Ivar Stenberg pass them by. Should they trade up to #2? Should they take Caleb Malhotra over Stenberg at #3? Does his superior NHL readiness matter? The guys also discuss Henrik Sedin stating that the club will draft Caleb Malhotra, even if hiring his father as head coach, should scouts believe him the best players available.

TSN's Craig Button stops by to talk draft, working with family members and gives us insight on working the draft board with trades. Craig says he has no doubt Stenberg is a top-line winger, and that Malhotra is a top-2 centre.

Tyson Cole of Canucks Army and the Blackfish Prospect podcast joins from the Memorial Cup to discuss the case for Stenberg, the conflict of interest with Manny coaching Caleb in the NHL, the merits of trading Filip Hronek and Canucks prospect Gabe Chiarot showing out for the Kitchener Rangers.
