JPat and Botch are back with a new podcast trying to get to the bottom of the Canucks pursuit for a new president.

Is this the calm before a summer storm of change? What should the Canucks have learned from a turbulent opening round of the playoffs. Plus, there’s $150 Beaver Buzz prize pack up for grabs for a lucky listener.

With the Canucks done for the season, JPat and Botch weigh in on the opening round of the playoffs.

The guys also review Jeff’s preseason goal projections for Canucks scorers.

With season over, JPat and Botch wrap up what they saw from the 2018-19 Vancouver Canucks and react to the lottery balls slotting the team 10th in June’s draft.

They like what they’ve seen so far, but wonder why he hasn’t seen much time on the power play yet. They also discuss whether it makes sense to resign Luke Schenn after just 15 games with the team. And how does Schenn fit into an off-season overhaul of the Canucks blueline? Also, the guys debate if the Canucks are better now than they were at this time last season.

And, honestly, who saw a week with goals from Schaller, Motte, Granlund and Eriksson coming? Certainly not the hosts of the The Patcast

Jeff and Botch got together at Canucks practice this morning to record a new podcast ahead of Monday’s NHL trade deadline. What do they expect in terms of activity from the Canucks?

And they weigh in on the primary area of concern for the organization moving forward.

Jeff and Botch have recorded a new Patcast at the end of a busy week for the Canucks.

The guys discuss the contributions of the young players and how those may impact the team's plans ahead of the trade deadline and beyond.
