Canucks Central

Dan Riccio and Satiar Shah take questions from the listeners in the ultimate podcast of the season. Who's got more pressure to retain their star player, Vancouver or Edmonton? How many games does Demko start next year? Will Jonathan Lekkerimaki crack the lineup? Will Kiefer Sherwood hit 80 goals?! After the hockey questions, they get into some deep topics such as hotdog eating competitions, inspirational speeches, and lethal grapes.

Dan Riccio and Satiar Shah are joined by Jannik Hansen to discuss the Canucks remaining needs after a few days of free agency, and where we're likely to see those solutions appear from. Then he breaks down the potential goaltending controversy with the long list of talented netminders within the organization. Lastly, he talks about the prospects and depth players that could make a larger impact this season.

Dan Riccio and Satiar Shah kick off the final Open of the season with a look at the latest Canucks talking points. Who can you rely on to drive play in the forward core? Many trades have been circulating in the rumour mill, but will any actually come to light? Then they end off by reviewing what remaining free agents could make sense for Vancouver.

Randip Janda joins Canucks Central and talks with Dan and Sat on how the Canucks will be banking on internal improvement next season. And to recap development camp this week. Plus Landon Ferraro joins the guys to cover how Brock Boeser still needs to find the right fit at centre as his 7 year deal kicks in.

In The Open today on Canucks Central, Dan and Sat discuss what options could be available for the Canucks to fill their need at centre now that the free agent market has dried up which includes losing Pius Suter. But the Canucks still need to overcome the challenge of teams that are afraid to make deals for fear of being on the wrong side of the transaction.

Dan and Sat debate whether topics like Brock Boeser leading the Canucks in goals next season, trading for Pavel Zacha, and much more are overrated or underrated!

Dan and Sat are joined by Kevin Woodley of InGoal Magazine and NHL.com to share his thoughts on the Thatcher Demko extension, how the Canucks should approach splitting the workload between him and Kevin Lankinen, and more.

Also, hear from Sportsnet's Iain MacIntyre (50:30) on Boeser staying in Vancouver and his thoughts on what Canucks Management got done today.
