Anyways, who's the real GM of the Vancouver Canucks?

Patrik Allvin or Jim Rutherford.

We ask this question because eh, the biggest trade in Canucks history was in the hands of the almost 80 year old President as opposed to the dude who has the title of General Manager. Is that a strange occurrence? Or was it cause Guerin and Rutherford have a relationship.

Anywho, let's chat about that and Quinn Hughes' comments after his first game with the Minnesota Wild.

Our favorite hockey team played the New Jersey Devils and Zeev Buium looked amazing.

Did we win?

Not sure.

But I think we won the Quinn Hughes trade after all.

Vancouver Canucks Trade Quinn Hughes to Minnesota Wild for Minnesota Wild’s 1st round pick in the 2026 NHL draft, Marco Rossi, Liam Öhgren and Zeev Buium.

The Vancouver Canucks are the most cursed franchise in NHL history. 

Fight me on that. I'm in a fighting mood. 

Vancouver Canucks fans deserve so, so much better. 

The trade of Quinn Hughes represents failure at EACH and EVERY level of this franchise. The owner failed with his playoff revenue-driven mentality. Management failed with their missteps to stay competitive. Guys in that locker room failed to keep the momentum going after the promise of better days ahead in the spring of 2024. 

The Vancouver Canucks failed, and the fans deserve better than this...

Quinn Hughes trade chatter has reached a frenzy in Vancouver Canucks land.

Hughes himself has admitted it, and head coach Adam Foote hasn't shied away from the truth either.

With the Vancouver Canucks at the bottom of the NHL standings, this team could set themselves up for a new era by nailing a future-looking, forward-thinking Hughes trade, which would aid their ability to snag a top-3 pick in this year's draft.

Beggsy and Bhawan look at the top seven contenders, as mentioned by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, and deb...

The Vancouver Canucks just let the Buffalo Sabres do something that evaded them for most of 2025. 

But of course, the story surrounding the Vancouver Canucks isn't so much about the game. 

Beggsy and Bhawan talk about comments from Quinn Hughes and Adam Foote postgame about "the noise" in Vancouver. They also break down their GOATs and Tank Commanders of the game.

The Vancouver Canucks seem poised to enter one of the darkest stages in franchise history.

But, who will be in charge of overseeing the transition?

Will it be Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin? Or, will a new regime oversee one of the biggest trades in franchise history?

Beggsy tells you what he's hearing as the boys dive into the job security of Canucks management, along with the report that the team wants to "stay competitive" by targeting Nico Hischier.

Kyle's dropping a children's book...

If you’re a fan of NHL trade drama, you won’t want to miss this — the Washington Capitals are reportedly emerging as serious suitors in the bid to acquire Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks.

2024 Norris Trophy winner and Canucks captain Quinn Hughes has been at the center of trade-rumor chaos lately, and the Capitals might be ready to make a bold move.

👀 What’s going on:

According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, Washington has popped up on the radar of teams potentially trading for Hughes. He said on the...

The Vancouver Canucks need to get teams in on a bidding war for Quinn Hughes' services.

And apparently, the New York Rangers have entered the chat.

Beggsy and Bhawan talk about why it makes sense for the New York Rangers and general manager Chris Drury to push hard for Quinn Hughes. But, what would the Rangers give up?

The boys also touch on the official return of Thatcher Demko, and Quinn Hughes taking a potential shot at Vancouver Canucks management.

The Vancouver Canucks are fully in tank mode. 

Now, the real question is, who is the commander of this Canucks' tanking operation? 

Even though the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Detroit Red Wings, the undermanned roster put forth a decent-ish effort. With literally no top-six centres and a lineup full of inexperience, the Canucks outshot the Red Wings and probably deserved better. 

Too bad they ran into another Canuck killer. 

Beggsy gives his take on who the real tank commander of the Canucks is. He also gets into some good performances from...

But...why?

Because right...you gotta shoot for the stars in life.

And Vancouver Canucks fans know, this team needs to him a home run with one of their next trades.

We learned more over the weekend about the Vancouver Canucks' request for Kiefer Sherwood and what the Minnesota Wild offered to acquire him.

The Wild and Canucks have been on the precipice of a trade before. Will they finally pull the trigger soon?

Beggsy and Bhawan dive into that...

The Vancovuer Canucks lose again but this time to the Mammoth of Utah.

Even Jim Benning never accomplished this as the Vancouver Canucks general manager.

So, congratulations is in order for Jim Rutherford, Patrik Allvin, and Francesco Aquilini.

The Canucks have often been bad, but they've never been bottom of the standings bad.

Is this officially the lowest point in Canucks history, because fans know, the history is rich with failure.

It's the holiday's and we are trading Quinn Hughes.

But eh, let's talk about the present and Tom Willander.

With so many question marks surrounding the captain and what not, it's good to know he's in the room with a couple young D-MAN who could learn a thing or 43 things from one of the best to ever do it.

And with Willander being such a student, I think this transition, if it does happen is going to be smoother than we think.

Let's talk...

For Vancouver Canucks fans hoping that the team might finally rebuild, prepare to be disappointed.

That notion was squashed with a couple of recent reports.

Beggsy and Bhawan dive into the report from Elliotte Friedman that the Detroit Red Wings are showing legitimate interest in Quinn Hughes, and how a history of deals between Jim Rutherford and Steve Yzerman could make this a reality.

The boys also get into Rick Dhaliwal's report that the Canucks want NHL players, not futures. Beggsy and Bhawan get into some of the...

Vancouver Canucks fans are witnessing history. 

After yet another loss on Tuesday night, the Vancouver Canucks are a foot away from achieving the unthinkable. 

Beggsy talks about that, the rise of a young gun, the best and worst of Kiefer Sherwood, and more on the Locked On Canucks Post Cast.

Can the Vancouver Canucks pull off a heist? 

When they are the only seller in a market flooded with buyers, there's always a chance. 

Beggsy and Bhawan look at the top two suitors, Sherwood, according to the rumour mill. They also dive into the validity of the report suggesting that the New York Islanders want Filip Hronek.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we explore:

Why the Flyers and Tocchet have reason to circle back to ex-Canucks — familiarity, previous success under his system, and mutual compliments over recent years.

What Quinn Hughes offers: elite offensive-defense, puck movement, offensive drive from the blue line — exactly the kind of cornerstone a rebuilding but hopeful Philly club might target.

What Vancouver would stand to lose: their top defender and core identity, especially if they begin shopping “veteran players” to retool.

What a trade might look like...

The Vancouver Canucks played the perfect tank game on Friday. 

They probably should have won. Elias Pettersson played great. And they picked up zero points. 

The same tanking magic wasn't to be found in Los Angeles, as the Vancouver Canucks pick up a point in yet another loss. 

Beggsy breaks down the last two games and the tornado of trade rumours. Specifically, which teams may be able to pry Kiefer Sherwood out of the Vancouver Canucks? And will Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford remain patient and avoid Jim Benning-like mistakes?

It wasn't that long ago that Beggsy and Bhawan were praising this Vancouver Canucks player.

Now? He's about to take a seat in the press box in favour of Lukas Reichel and Arshdeep Bains.

Aatu Raty has seen his ice time slip of late. Beggsy and Bhawan analyze his most recent performances, get into the best of the Buble interview about the Vancouver Canucks, and discuss whether a reporter in another Canadian market went too far with his questions.

It was one of the greatest rookie goalie performances in Vancouver Canucks history.

And hey, the Canucks needed it.

It was the report that brought more joy than a Michael Buble Christmas song.

And thanks to Frank Seravalli....we are smoking that hope.

No one could blame Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes for wanting to leave the city. But, one insider came to the rescue with a contrarian take.

Aside from the scoop, why would Hughes want to stay? Beggsy and Bhawan break down some reasons why, along with some intel on what the Canucks could get on the trade market for their veteran players.

Thanks Adam:

It's a tale as old as time.

The Vancouver Canucks might not be a good hockey team. Heck, they actually seem like a pretty bad one.

But, they are never boring.

Beggsy and Bhawan get into more glazing from Adam Foote, and things getting so bad that now Michael Buble is fighting with fans.

The boys are also joined by Adm Kerzenblat of The Hockey News to discuss veterans on the...

The 2018-19 St. Louis Blues were a trainwreck early in the season. And then they won the Stanley Cup.

It seems crazy to think the Vancouver Canucks could do the same, but is it THAT far-fetched?

Beggsy and Bhawan look at the 2018-19 Blues, how they did it, and if there is a path that the Canucks can follow to copy their success?

If not, could Gavin McKenna convince Hughes to stay?

The boys touch on all of that along with their Vancouver Canu...

It was an incredible weekend for Vancouver.

But while the Goldeneyes and Whitecaps were taking over the city, the Canucks were busy sinking to new lows.

That's exactly what happened to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday in a brutal 5-2 loss to the Calgary Flames. To make things worse, they lost that bad even though Quinn Hughes went hero mode.

Can Allvin go hero mode? Or can the Hughes, Pettersson and the Canucks pull off a miracle? Beggsy and Bhawan touch on all of that, report cards fro...

What?

According to this article:

https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-lukas-reichel-look-appears-over

The Legend Patrik Johnston is saying it could already be talked about.

What if they were to trade Conor Garland, for instance. The veteran winger is playing well, as he always does, and did sign a six-year contract extension just this past summer. The Canucks love what he brings to the lineup every night. But if the task is to find younger players to add to the mix, dealing a guy...

Where would we be about the Vancouver Whitecaps?

No Seriously, thank you Thomas Muller.

We were led to believe that Adam Foote would be Rick Tocchet 2.0.

That ideology has been completely false for Vancouver Canucks fans.

Foote has not modeled Tocchet's success as a defensive guru. And, perhaps more notably, he talks A LOT differently than Tocchet did during his time in Vancouver.

Beggsy and Bhawan dive into the Adam Foote experience, touch on Canucks trade rumours and more in th...

Game Recap: Stars 4, Canucks 2

The Stars defeated the Canucks 4–2 at Rogers Arena, continuing their strong run (six wins in seven games).

Goals by the Stars: Jason Robertson scored again (extending his streak), Colin Blackwell broke the tie in the third with a breakaway, and Mikko Rantanen sealed it with 1:31 left.

For Vancouver: Elias Pettersson had a power-play tally (his line produced) but it wasn’t enough.

The Canucks’ penalty kill remains a glaring weakness, and tonight it cost them.

It's not the start that Quinn Hughes and the Vancouver Canucks envisioned.

The Vancouver Canucks are one of five teams below .500 at the quarter-mark of the season.

But, thanks to an ocean of mediocrity in the NHL, the Canucks aren't far off from climbing the standings.

Which players have showcased an ability to carry this team up the standings, and which players do the Canucks need more from? Beggsy and Bhawan break that down with letter grades at the quarter-mark for each Vancouver Canucks player.

Canucks in a Funk + Marek Says They Want Stamkos — Is This True or Just Desperation?

Vancouver’s been limping through a rough stretch, and fans are starting to wonder: is this a real rebuild or just bad luck? On top of the injury issues and uneven play, a major rumor is back — Jeff Marek floated the idea that the Canucks could be interested in Steven Stamkos, a move that’s raising eyebrows.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we unpack:

Why Vancouver’s struggles aren’t just about form...

The Vancouver Canucks are battling, and that's gotten them to 27th overall in the NHL.

Hey, at least Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson are looking like stars.

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan debate which comes first for the Vancouver Canucks: a new head coach in the form of Peter DeBoer, or that elusive second-line centre.

The boys also get into the first 21 games of Adam Foote's tenure, talk about J.T. Miller's subpar start with the Rangers, and dish out some wee...

So a Czech and a Slovak walk into Cactus Club.

With Quinn Hughes looking more likely to leave the Vancouver Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan turn their attention to Simon Nemec. They break down the player and whether there's a chance that the Canucks can get the young Slovak defenceman out of New Jersey in a potential Hughes swap.

On a much less dramatic note, Rick Dhaliwal has reported that the Canucks will be after centre David Kampf, after the Toronto Maple Leafs terminated his contract. Should the Canucks sign him? What ar...

Beggsy has said this before: the Vancouver Canucks fans are the most cursed team in NHL history.

The boys from Locked On Canucks (Beggsy and Bhawan) get honest about the current state of the team, with input from the fans themselves.
