Brendan Batchelor joins Jamie to break down the Canucks' current struggles and the challenges they face with playoff hopes still alive. With the team battling injuries, including Filip Hronek’s absence, and defensive issues mounting, can Vancouver hang on? They discuss recent roster moves, including sending down Arshdeep Bains and calling up Mark Friedman, as well as the team’s need for a trade. What type of move should the Canucks make—depth or a big splash? Plus, we dive into Nils Höglander’s dwindling role, his potential as a trade chip, and whether the Canucks can turn their offensive struggles around. Satiar Shah also joins the conversation to talk about the playoff race, the challenges of acquiring defensemen in a weak trade market.
