The End Game

Jamie Dodd is joined by Brendan Batchelor, Alison Lukan, and Dimitri Filipovic to examine the next phase of the Vancouver Canucks’ rebuild and the looming decisions facing the organization. Batch weighs the possibility of a Ryan Johnson and Evan Gold partnership, while the group debates what the next GM’s priorities should be — from Elias Pettersson’s future to whether veterans like Filip Hronek should be moved. Alison Lukan outlines Seattle’s potential plans at seventh overall and what a modern rebuild template looks like in today’s NHL. Plus, Dimitri previews the Stanley Cup collision course forming in the playoffs and discusses why San Jose may hold firm at second overall in the draft.
