Sept 29, 2025: The Canucks kids are alright? Cootes and Lekk still here
Description
After 2 more Canucks preaseason games over the weekend, and just 2 games left, Matt and Blake break down the frontrunners for jobs and roster spots. The guys debate the performances of the 2 young stars in Braeden Cootes and Jonathan Lekkerimäki, and the many roster ramnifications of them making the team. They also look at veterans like Thatcher Demko and Filip Chytil who are looking to prove themselves in different ways. RinkWide's Jeff Paterson stops in give his reviews of the weekend games, including Chytil's bid to be a real world 2C, Cootes withstanding the attention of NHL stars, and the importance of these final two dress rehearsals against better opposition lineups. Then it's TSN insider Darren Dreger making his season debut and giving us the lowdown on the Canucks optimism at camp. Dregs talks about the level of Canucks interest in still making a trade for a centre, and how much Chytil has changed that. Darren also takes us back to the Evander Kane acquisition, he looks at all the noise around Quinn Hughes' future and he addresses Blake's pet project of blowing the Devils away with a crazy trade offer for Luke Hughes. The guys finish up with a look at some nervy results for the Whitecaps and the Lions, a fine finish to the season for Jays and Mariners, plus all the drama from the Ryder Cup!
