Locked On Canucks - Daily Podcast On The Vancouver Canucks

You could argue that Thatcher Demko and Elias Pettersson are the two most important players for the Vancouver Canucks next season.   Yes...we know Quinn Hughes is the Canucks BEST player, but everyone expects him to be brilliant.   There are a lot more question marks with the 2024's Vezina runner up, and "The Alien," who received Hart votes in 2023 and has made the NHL All-Star Game in four of his...

Oh, so now the rest of the NHL is paying attention to Quinn Hughes.   Vancouver Canucks fans and those with the West Coast bias know all about the best defenceman in the NHL. The Least Coast? Not so much.   But here we are in late July, and New York Islanders forward Mat Barzal is throwing some subtle shade at the Canucks superstar.   The lesson? Now that Jim Rutherford has stirred the pot, the re...

It's the biggest transaction in Vancouver sports history...or is it?  And no, we're not talking about Pavel Zacha to the Canucks.  German football legend Thomas Mueller is joining the Vancouver Whitecaps. Is this transaction bigger than any other that has happened in Vancouver Canucks history? Bigger than bringing Pavel Bure to Vancouver? Bigger than drafting the Sedin twins?  We'll touch on that...

Is the real Elias Pettersson ready to return? After a rocky 2024–25 campaign, Petey looks primed to bounce back and remind the hockey world that he’s not just a star—he’s a straight-up MVP-caliber alien when he’s locked in.   In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down:   🚀 Why Pettersson’s struggles last year were more mental than physical 🚀 The tactical changes under Adam Foote that wi...

With the puck on his stick, there aren't many guys that are as electric as Vancouver Canucks forward, Nils Hoglander.  So, after five NHL seasons, why hasn't he put it together yet?  Is 2025-26 the year that he'll do so for the Vancouver Canucks? Or will the Canucks trade him before he gets the chance to have a breakout season.  Beggsy and Bhawan dive deep into Hoglander's outlook, talk about waiv...

Should the Canucks Pay Big for Mason McTavish or Play It Safe with Jack Roslovic? Is it time for the Vancouver Canucks to take a swing for the fences? In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we explore the high-risk, high-reward potential of trading for Mason McTavish versus the safer, more affordable route of signing UFA Jack Roslovic.   Sure, Roslovic might be the easier add—a plug-and-play middle...

Could Filip Chytil be the long-awaited answer at second-line center for the Vancouver Canucks? In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down how Adam Foote and the coaching staff can unlock Chytil’s full potential in Vancouver’s top six. From his transition game to his ability to drive offense without the puck, we analyze what Chytil needs—and what he brings—to thrive alongside stars like El...

The Vancouver Canucks are at a crossroads. That's what happen when you get stuck in the mushy middle.   For Patrik Allvin and the Vancouver Canucks, their next move can't just be signing Jack Roslovic. They need to think bold.   Although Canucks management said they can't replace J.T. Miller...can they try?   On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan talk about the possibility...

It's been 3.5 years since Patrik Allvin took over as general manager of the Vancouver Canucks.   During that time, the Canucks rank 15th overall in the NHL in the regular season, and 14th in terms of playoff wins.   Truly, the Vancouver Canucks have been the definition of mid.   What about Allvin? Has he been closer to the guy who nearly won NHL GM of the Year in 2024? Or, much like the Canucks, h...

It's another chapter in the Vancouver Canucks' desperate attempt to upgrade their centre ice position.   Former Washington Capitals centre Evgeny Kuznetsov wants to make a return to the NHL. Could he be a fit with the Canucks?   Keeping with the Russian theme, could disgruntled Columbus Blue Jackets winger Yegor Chinakov be an option on the trade market for Vancouver?   Beggsy and Bhawan get into...

The summer of Drance is happening.   He called it and it happened, the Vancouver Canucks have traded Dakota Joshua to the Leafs for a Forth Round Pick.   According to reports, Kuznetov would take 1 million dollars or 2 to play for a contender...   But how bout a pretnder?   AKA, how bout an oppurtunity.   Could the Canucks find anyway to be appealing to the Stanley Cup Champion named Evgeni?   You...

There's nothing Patrik Allvin loves more than a bargain, mid-summer signing.   Two summers ago, Allvin and the Vancouver Canucks signed Pius Suter in early August. Last year, Daniel Sprong and Kevin Lankinen were late offseason signings.   In 2025, will the Vancouver Canucks target Jack Roslovic as their midsummer splash?   Beggsy and Bhawan talk about the potential of Roslovic coming to Vancouver...

I just came back from the Calgary Stampede and something felt different...   Maybe it was cause of my rememberence of the the Flames season and how they were better than the Canucks + the whole Zane Parekh thing.   Anyways, let's talk about the two teams, the Pacific Division and how we cannot overlook the Calgary Flames.   We'll do that + touch base on the Arturs Silovs trade again cause STILLMAN...

#Canucks have traded Arturs Silovs to the Penguins.   Allvin on the deal: “We wanted to give [Silovs] an opportunity elsewhere as we feel we are very well positioned in goal at the NHL, AHL and developmental level.”   We got him for a dude named Stillman and a forth round pick.   Let's talk about it.     Join our Substack:  https://substack.com/@beggsyandbhawan   Join Kyle's Discord:  https://disc...

In today’s episode, we dive into the polarizing addition of Evander Kane, one of the most debated trades in recent Canucks history.   Love him or hate him, Kane brings edge, swagger, and experience — but can he be the player that wakes up Elias Pettersson and helps reignite Vancouver’s offensive identity?   We explore:   Why Kane and Pettersson might actually have underrated chemistry What Kane’s...

They also touch on the Brock Boeser p...

So much for those Brock Boeser to the Edmonton Oilers rumours.  After months and months where it looked like Brock Boeser would not return to the Vancouver Canucks, Patrik Allvin did the impossible and re-signed the Canucks top winger to a seven year contract worth a shade over $50 million dollars.  Beggsy and Bhawan react to the signing, talking about why the deal got done, while touching on the...

The Vancouver Canucks have one more day until silly season in the NHL reaches it's peak.  Will the Canucks, in typical Canucks fashion, be one of the silliest teams in NHL Free Agency?  Would signing Mikael Granlund qualify as a silly move?  Probably not.  On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, the boys talk about Mikael Granlund as potentially the Canucks top target, and whether overpaying f...
