State of the Franchise: Vancouver Canucks. Is this the season?

The Vancouver Canucks have been one of the more chaotic NHL teams over the past few seasons, with multiple head coaches and a new front office. Is this the year that they finally break through? Trevor Beggs of Locked on Canucks joins to discuss the state of the franchise. We start with where the Canucks are headed and why it's been a frustrating time in Vancouver, and how important getting off of the Oliver Ekman-Larsson contract was. Then the big question of what Elias Pettersson's next contract looks like. We recap the Canucks draft and why Tom Willander feels like a perfect fit for the Canucks in the future, a recap of Vancouver's offseason, and revisit the failed Tyler Myers for Kevin Labanc trade (11:00). Finally, why Thatcher Demko is the Canucks most important player this season and if the Canucks can make it back to the playoffs (20:00).Check out the podcast on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONNHL or enter promo code LOCKEDONNHL for a free white tech hat with any order.
