Landon Ferraro joins the show to unpack a brutal 5–0 loss in Toronto and why even competitive efforts aren’t enough when the Canucks lack the firepower to truly win games. He explains how bad habits can creep in during seasons like this, why ice time still has to be earned, and how lineup rotations with younger defencemen signal the organization’s longer-term priorities. The conversation then shifts to Kiefer Sherwood’s injury, his playoff-driven trade value, and why his eventual move has become a crucial test of management credibility. With veterans unlikely to factor into the next competitive window, the Sherwood decision may define how much trust this front office can regain. Eric Engels joins the show as well.   This podcast is produced by Dominic Sramaty and Elan CharkThe views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate.
Games like Leafs–Canucks still carry extra weight for fans and ownership, but the bigger reality is that the present is grim and the organization has no choice but to start speaking honestly about the future. The Canucks no longer have the benefit of the doubt, and rebuilding trust will require visible action before fans are willing to grant patience or grace. Injury concerns add to the uncertainty, with Kiefer Sherwood sidelined one to three weeks and no clarity on how serious Thatcher Demko’s situation may be. With pressure mounting, silence is no longer an option for this organization.

The Canucks narrowly avoid a disastrous third-period collapse in Buffalo, but the win does little to quiet concerns as Vancouver’s top players were outworked by lesser-known opponents. While Thatcher Demko was solid, Drance pushes back hard on the idea that this team is “resilient,” arguing the underlying issues remain obvious. Trade talk heats up with Kiefer Sherwood emerging as a primary target for the New York Rangers, where the asking price is a first-round pick and possibly more as Chris Drury looks to add punch. The guys also break down what Vancouver should want in return, lineup notes, and the latest betting odds.

The No Plan Plan

Jamie and Thomas are joined by Don Taylor and Rick Dhaliwal in The Crossover. Drance pushes back on being labeled “negative,” insisting the Canucks are simply showing everyone who they really are after another loss in Buffalo and a widening talent gap with playoff teams. The guys hammer home why re-signing Kiefer Sherwood would be a massive misstep, arguing this is a rare opportunity to sell high, demand a first-round pick, and finally commit to a clear direction. Braeden Cootes joins to reflect on his World Juniors experience, while Jason Bukala breaks down draft prospects, high-upside forwards, and why Vancouver needs more first-round capital. The message is blunt: focus on the future, or risk going down with the ship.

Jannik Hansen joins the show to explain why, no matter the opponent, the best player on the ice seems to be wearing the other jersey. The guys dig into Brock Boeser’s slump and why he needs a true play-driving center to thrive as a complementary scorer. They also debate the ceilings of Willander and Buium, and whether Buium can eventually quarterback the Canucks’ power play. Plus, a clear call to action: sell Kiefer Sherwood now and bring back assets fans can actually get excited about. ESPN's Ryan Clark joins the show for a league wide look at things.

The Canucks open a six-game road trip in Buffalo, prompting a surprising discussion about what Vancouver can actually learn from the Sabres during down years. The focus quickly shifts to Kiefer Sherwood, as reports surface of a credible four-year offer worth $4–5 million annually, a move that raises serious questions about planning and asset management. With Sherwood’s camp believing he can do better on the open market, the guys argue his trade value could reach a first-round pick. This is framed as a rare “gimme putt” for the Canucks: trade Sherwood for value now, or risk turning a clear win into a disaster.

Cash In on Sherwood

Cash In on Sherwood

2026-01-0501:12:081

Landon Ferraro joins the show to break down what went wrong for Canada at the World Juniors, why the fear factor is gone, and how NHL-ready talent like Celebrini or Schaefer could have changed the outcome. The conversation shifts to the Canucks’ direction, with Ferraro arguing development should take priority, veterans must be moved for assets, and Kiefer Sherwood should be traded immediately at peak value. They examine how teams like the Bruins have successfully retooled on the fly and why Vancouver has nothing left to preserve. Plus, thoughts on the impact of the World Juniors on the race for first overall and what it means for the Canucks’ long-term plan.

Jamie and Thomas lay it out plainly: this Canucks team isn’t good enough, and any fear of rebuilding should be gone as Vancouver sinks deeper into the standings. With no game-breaking offence and Pettersson contributing defensively but not on the scoresheet, the case is made to fully commit to the rebuild and escape the mushy middle, even if it means accelerating painful decisions. They also react to Canada’s disappointing World Juniors exit, questioning whether skill-over-structure failed on the biggest stage. Plus, Elliotte Friedman’s latest on Sherwood negotiations and what it means with the Canucks sitting 31st overall and staring at long playoff odds.

To me, the worst was that it highlights this management team's atrocious contract negotiations. "Yeah, we'll get to you whenever" sucks.
