The Canucks narrowly avoid a disastrous third-period collapse in Buffalo, but the win does little to quiet concerns as Vancouver’s top players were outworked by lesser-known opponents. While Thatcher Demko was solid, Drance pushes back hard on the idea that this team is “resilient,” arguing the underlying issues remain obvious. Trade talk heats up with Kiefer Sherwood emerging as a primary target for the New York Rangers, where the asking price is a first-round pick and possibly more as Chris Drury looks to add punch. The guys also break down what Vancouver should want in return, lineup notes, and the latest betting odds.

Jamie and Thomas are joined by Don Taylor and Rick Dhaliwal in The Crossover. Drance pushes back on being labeled “negative,” insisting the Canucks are simply showing everyone who they really are after another loss in Buffalo and a widening talent gap with playoff teams. The guys hammer home why re-signing Kiefer Sherwood would be a massive misstep, arguing this is a rare opportunity to sell high, demand a first-round pick, and finally commit to a clear direction. Braeden Cootes joins to reflect on his World Juniors experience, while Jason Bukala breaks down draft prospects, high-upside forwards, and why Vancouver needs more first-round capital. The message is blunt: focus on the future, or risk going down with the ship.

Jannik Hansen joins the show to explain why, no matter the opponent, the best player on the ice seems to be wearing the other jersey. The guys dig into Brock Boeser’s slump and why he needs a true play-driving center to thrive as a complementary scorer. They also debate the ceilings of Willander and Buium, and whether Buium can eventually quarterback the Canucks’ power play. Plus, a clear call to action: sell Kiefer Sherwood now and bring back assets fans can actually get excited about. ESPN's Ryan Clark joins the show for a league wide look at things.
