October 9 2023 - Jeff Paterson - a podcast by TSN 1040

Matt and Blake digest the trade for Sam Lafferty; why it was necessary, what it continues, how he can help, and where this leaves others like Nils Höglander? They go through the draft picks traded out by this regime to fix the bottom-end of the roster, continuing a trend from the previous regime, which doesn't speak well of their player development. They also look at the defence corps minus an injured Carson Soucy, and after recalling Akito Hirose. They wonder about the demoted players (Jack Studnicka, Nils Åman, Christian Wolanin) and their futures with the Canucks? Plus, the trickle-down effect with Carson Soucy hurt and where that leaves the defence.

Jeff Paterson stops by with his take on the trade, the conditions that led to it, and what it says about the Canucks' development and management. He talks about Mikheyev missing the start of the season, where Höglander is left in all this, the injury to Soucy and the defence corps that will start the season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
