Vancouver Canucks 2026–2027 Season preview: Buium’s ceiling and the Malhotra connection · Jablam Sports Hockey

• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to Jablan Sports Hockey, your home for everything happening around the NHL.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Peter Bojuranov, and every episode we'll break down the biggest topics every hockey fan is talking about, with writers, TV, and radio experts from all 32 teams.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: Today, we're gonna continue our 32 team season previews with the Vancouver Canucks.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: On the show, we got Jeff Patterson, a senior writer from Daily Face Off Vancouver.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: And you can also catch him on the Canucks post-game show.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to the show, Jeff.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, good to talk to you again.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh it's hockey season.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_01: I think uh uh, you know, even for a 32nd place team, as the Canucks were last year.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_01: Uh there's some optimism out here in Vancouver that things have to get better, I think.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_01: Although I guess we'll start to find out later this month when they uh start playing for keeps.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and in trending now later on, we'll talk about a contract termination and hockey viewing in Canada.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: So, yes, you mentioned it.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: 32.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, they were even like 14 points removed from the second last team.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: So you posted an article who's uh in camp, who's out of camp?
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: So you can mention Quinn Hughes is out, Marcus Peterson is out, Tyler Myers, they're all gone.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: They've replaced him obviously with Z Boeim from the Quinn Hughes trade, and they've added veterans like Luke Shen and Jamie Aleksiak.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: Are those big two guys gonna be getting a big share of the top four minutes?
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: How are they gonna how are they gonna spread out these minutes here now?
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, the article you referred to uh was just looking year over year.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: So looking back at their training camp roster uh 12 months ago, and by my math, uh 40% of the guys that were on the ice in Penticton, where they're hosting training camp again, 40% of the players that were on the Canucks roster at training camp last year are no longer in the organization or weren't asked, uh invited back to this year's camp.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: So I haven't gone back and looked historically at the rate of turnover, but when you're up over 40%, you know, that tells you that there's been significant churn, and at the same time there had to be, because they were dead last.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: The guys that they had here uh certainly weren't getting the job done.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, the change goes a lot deeper than just the rosters uh of the players that were at training camp.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, the president of hockey operations has been pushed aside and is now a senior advisor who doesn't even live in the country uh but still had a year left in his contract.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: So Jim Rutherford is not really involved anymore.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: Patrick Alvine got fired out of foot, lost his job as well.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: And so, really, it's top to bottom.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, it was a house cleaning, and uh they are hoping to turn a page from one of the darkest years in Vancouver Connect's history.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and as you pointed out, 58 points last year, dead last in the standings, just nine home ice wins at Rogers Arena.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: Any way you slice it, this team was a disaster last year.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I think there was still carryover from the JT Miller and Elias Peterson, dysfunction and drama in that locker room, and then Quinn Hughes sort of forced his hand and won it out, and now he's Minnesota's problem to deal with as far as uh the contract is concerned, there.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um and so, yeah, to bring it back around to your question, you know, the new guys that have brought in Luke Shan, this is his third time as a member of the Vancouver Canucks.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: And uh Luke Shen is as true a pro as you are gonna find, and that's really why the Canucks were interested in bringing him back on a one-year deal.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you know, it's all about culture caring, it's about setting the tone in that locker room, and that's why they acquired Brendan Gallagher from Montreal at the end of his contract as well.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Jimmy Alexiak, another solid veteran, a guy that's been through the battles, uh, a couple of stops in the National Hockey League, but highly regarded by the teams and the players that uh he has played with or the teams that he's played for.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: And the Canucks are hoping that you know vibes matter and that expectations are ridiculously low out here.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: Nobody's expecting much from this hockey club again, uh, but it does have to show some improvement individually and collectively.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I don't think anybody in Canucks Nation has an appetite for another 58-point season and just the you know dismal performances night after night after night, where they were getting run out of the rink, quite frankly, on far too many nights.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: So uh what can Manning Maholter do behind the bench?
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: Can he get this team to be competitive?
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: Can they put up a fight at the very least and hang with some of the better teams in the NHL?
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: Not about wins and losses this year, uh, because this team still needs high draft picks, uh, probably for a few more seasons, but it's again, you know, they just can't have a repeat of the way it looked and felt last year.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: So there has to be some improvement uh just in terms of the competitiveness, the battle level that the Vancouver Canucks show on a nightly basis.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I was gonna ask you, is it possible for them to go any lower?
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: Can they get regulated?
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: But we'll push that aside.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: What do Canuck fans have to look forward to this coming season?
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think it starts with Manny Mel Holtra.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, he won a Calder Cup in Abbotsford in his first year as the head coach at the AHL level.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: Uh last year was tough at both the NHL and the AHL level, and he didn't have many of his players because uh a lot of them had been called up.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: And so he really had a skeleton crew down on the farm last year.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: But uh he earned this opportunity.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: And and quite frankly, uh they probably should have made this move a year ago, but I think there were some in the organization that felt uh, you know, uh when Rick Tockett walked away and took the job in Philadelphia, that maybe it was too much too soon for Malholtre, who had only one year of professional head coaching experience.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: He had been an assistant here in Vancouver and in Toronto as well.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and then he stepped back to the AHL level to, you know, cut his teeth as a head coach because he wanted to get back to the NHL.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um, in hindsight, you know, it just didn't work.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, turn the keys over to Adam Foote last year and his uh one and only shot as a head coach.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_01: But hey, uh they made the decision.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: It was their mask that they had to deal with it.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: But everyone out here is hoping that uh they've turned the page that Manning the Holter can bring uh those elements that allowed his Abbotsford team to win a Calder Cup two years ago, uh, bring some structure, uh systems, teaching, development.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, these are all the buzzwords looking at the Vancouver Canucks.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: And as I said, they're not gonna be measured in terms of wins and losses or points in the standings column.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, even in the goals scored or goals against, although they were one of the lowest scoring teams in the National Hockey League, uh, you know, I think Manny's really gonna be judged on can he bring Azeev Buyam along?
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_01: Can he help Tom Will Lander take that next step in his second full National Hockey League season?
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_01: Liam Ogren, who was acquired as part of that Quinn Hughes deal from the Minnesota Wild, showed some flashes last year, still young.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: There's potential and upside there.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you know, and then Jonathan Leckermackkey, who was a first-round pick back in 2022.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, coming off shoulder surgery, uh, it kind of feels like a big year for him to prove that he can be a full-time national hockey league.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_01: So, uh, you know, how does Manny use them?
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: What kind of deployment?
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: What sorts of situations are they put in?
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: How much power playtime do guys like that get?
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: They're the future.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: Those are all pieces of the next core, the Vancouver Canucks.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you know, not a finished product yet, but I think that's how you're gonna measure the Canucks this season is based on the way that Manny Maholtra goes about helping these players take strides uh to improve, and then the hope is obviously as the individuals get a little bit better, the team will show some improvement as well.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: Continuing on the Maholtra theme, Canucks drafted this summer his son, Manny's son, Caleb Maholtra, third overall.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Are we gonna see Caleb at all this season?
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Is he gonna start with a big big club?
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: And what is his ceiling?
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: Already on campus, and uh he is going to play NCAA hockey this year.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: And uh look, even though he's a third overall pick, uh there's a possibility that he could spend two seasons in the NCAA to continue his development, but they'll take it year by year here.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but he's made his commitment to Boston University, so he won't be at training camp.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: He hasn't signed a contract, he's not gonna play in the National Hockey League.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: I suppose at the back end of his college season, if both sides thought that was in his best interest, he could sign his first pro contract then and you know see where it goes from there.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: But that's not the plan.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: They want to be slow.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: Uh again, the NHL team is just starting into its rebuild.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: He's gonna be a huge part of that, but they don't need him in the National Hockey League this season, especially if things go sideways again and it's another really difficult year.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_01: You don't want to subject uh too many young players to that.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of the young guys last year, you know, they had to deal with it.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: So I think the Canucks want to protect Caleb Malholtra.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, they want to allow him to be an 18-year-old and go experience college life and the college game, and you know, Boston use a pretty solid program.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and so that's the plan for him, which sure, I mean, we see other teams around the NHL inject a third overall pick, and it's exciting for fan base, but I think it's the right call for the Canucks where they are right here, right now.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, it's not like they need this high draft pick to step in and you know try and put them over the top of something.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: That's not that's just not where they are.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: So uh it's kind of gonna be out of sight, out of mind.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: And I think that also, you know, it just relieves any pressure.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the minute that Caleb signs and plays for the Vancouver Canucks under Manny as his head coach, obviously that's gonna be a massive storyline.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: It was a huge talking point in and around the draft.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_01: You know, should they avoid that drama altogether?
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but you know, their scouts felt that that was the best player.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: They uh finished dead last.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't have any lottery luck, they never have lottery luck.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: That's just part of uh being a Vancouver Canuck, so they end up picking third, and they felt that Caleb El Holtra was the best player available at that point.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: They need help at Santa Rice, uh, they need help uh all over the place, but uh certainly they need help down the middle, and so they felt Caleb was the right pick, and and in time, uh the hope is that he will be.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, it's gonna be an interesting dynamic whenever that happens.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: That uh father and son uh are gonna be on the same team and on the same bench, and you know, we'll see how that goes.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: It uh certainly could open a whole bunch of you know can of worms in terms of uh you know preferential treatment or you know how do his teammates respond to having the coach's kid in the locker room among them as one of them.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you know, so it's gonna be interesting to see how that all plays out, but uh I think that's gonna be kicked down the road uh a little bit just by the fact that uh they all felt that the best place for Caleb Manholter this season was gonna be playing NCAA hockey.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: Last week we saw Z Buin get that big contract.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: Canucks extend him eight years, 75.04 million.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: Uh contract extension starts next year, 9.38 per year.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: Can he live up to it?
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Could he surpass that?
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 75 million bucks for a 20-year-old who's played 76 regular season games in the National Hockey League, but this is the new reality, and uh I think we all have to uh come to terms with it and wrap our heads around it.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if you're gonna make a bet on a young player, uh, this guy has been a winner.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you know, he won a world championship as a teenager with Team USA.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, he won a world junior championship.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_01: He was highly decorated uh coming out of college hockey, uh, a first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Wild.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: And if the Canucks were giving up Quinn Hughes, they had to get their defenseman of the future.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: And so certainly Z Boyam was sort of the cornerstone of that uh four-piece package, along with Ogram, Marco Rossi, and the first round pick that they got.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, so, you know, lots of uh pressure, obviously.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: As you said, the deal doesn't kick in until next year.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: And so, in some ways, this is a buffer year, another year where, you know, there shouldn't be too much pressure on him.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: But if this rebuild is going to pan out in the long run, they absolutely need Z Buyam to become a legitimate top-pairing defenseman.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: He's gonna have to be a point producer, and so you know this is a high, high character guy.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think, again, if you're gonna make a bet on a player, he's the kind of guy that uh I think you're willing to take that chance on.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: And as the salary cap goes up, you know, the hope is that three, four, five years from now, uh, after we all get over the sticker shock, that 9.3 million bucks is going to be sort of, you know, the going rate for uh a second or third pairing guy.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_01: And if he develops into a true top flight number one defenseman, then it's quite possible that at the back end of this contract, uh, and I think the contract goes to 2035, which is uh it's hilarious.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: But I mean that's uh you know eight years plus the year remaining on his entry-level deal.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_01: So we're talking nine years out.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, but there is a chance that if he becomes a 60 or more point defenseman, um, there could be some value there because we see that uh the top, top guys, Kale McCarr, uh, and at some point Quinn Hughes is gonna sign and Matthew Schaefer is gonna get a new contract next summer, probably.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, we're looking at guys that are getting 20 million dollars.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: If Z Boomium can become nine and a half million bucks, or not even nine and a half million bucks, there is a chance that the Canucks can extract some value out of this deal, but that is the gamble that uh they are taking, and then obviously an overpayment in the short term, and we'll see how it all pans out.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: But uh he is a big, big part of what they're trying to put together out here on the West Coast.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: All right, let's touch base on some trending now.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: The Anaheim Ducks placed Chris Kreider on white waivers for contract termination as per Elliot Friedman.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: And that, of course, is happening on the approval of Kreider.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: One year left, 6.5, and four is owned in salary.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: If he becomes unclaimed, he's an unrestricted free agent.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: First, short question Do you think this is going to become a little bit of the norm with the cap exploding?
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: And could a guy like that maybe fit on these Canucks?
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't think he's a fit for the Vancouver Canucks, but uh, I think we started to see this a little bit last year where players were electing to terminate their contracts to become unrestricted for agents, and you know, they're willing to forego whatever was left in their contract, thinking that they're gonna be able to make up most of it, but also put themselves in a better situation.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: And that's what it sounds like with Kreider.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_01: He wants to go back east.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, he had played all his hockey up to this point as a member of the New York Rangers, and so his desire was to go back east.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: If you're the Ducks, it's been a hell of a summer with the offer sheet to Leo Carlson and Cutter Goche still out there and needing a contract.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: And so I think some of this was uh the Ducks recognizing that you know they could save a little bit of money.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and it all has to be tied to getting a new deal done for Cutter Goatce, who's uh a massive piece of of what the Ducks have assembled there down in in Orange County.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: So uh, you know, not surprised.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um I think it was worth the gamble for the Ducks a year ago.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_01: They had one of the worst power plays in the National Hockey League two seasons ago.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_01: Crider's been a power play ace uh throughout his career, but uh one and done in Anaheim, and now we'll see.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: Apparently, there is interest in him at what, you know, what dollar figure.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um we'll have to wait and see on that one.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: But uh basically a week ahead of training camp, I would imagine that uh uh he's gonna have to make his decision pretty soon here.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_01: And then the flip side of that is you know, how quickly can the ducks take the money that they've saved and find some common ground with Cutter Gauche because Gauche has sat and watched Leo Carlson get 18 million bucks for the next bunch of years?
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't know that he's gonna be able to get to 18, but uh I'm sure the demand is right there.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, if Carlson's getting that, you know, that's the kind of contract I want as well.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: And so um, can a young team that has a lot of promise can they handle two young players making that sum of money, even in an escalating cap world?
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I guess we're about to find out ultimately uh if they can come to some sort of common ground with Cutter Goche.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: And then having signed Bennett Seneca in a year or two.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: Touching base on hockey night in Canada, or is it wait, Saturday night hockey?
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: Ooh, that just feels awkward saying it.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but yes, Kevin Bieksa and Elliot Friedman, they're back, and they've added Colby Armstrong to the roster on Saturday nights and now introducing Monday night hockey exclusive on SportsNet Plus, Amber Gadzich, and now introducing Justin Williams into the fold.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think about the new additions?
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, yeah, I mean, I guess I expected that uh Elliot and Kevin Bexer would get their deals done at some point, but uh, like players, they had been unrestricted free agents here uh since the end of August, and so it took a little bit of time, but uh uh they have returned back to uh where we know them best, and that is as part of the the Saturday night uh hockey panel.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um Kevin's become one of the real stars in this business, and I'm not surprised.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: Having covered him here throughout his career in Vancouver, he was great to deal with uh from a media perspective, and that has translated.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: Elliot uh obviously has uh his position uh at the top of the heap when it comes to insiders, so uh he must have got a deal that uh he felt was fair for him, and then uh and I you know I I think change is probably a good thing in some ways that uh you know, and some of it's driven by money, a lot of it's driven by money, but uh I think there had been a bit of a staleness to the Saturday night panel, and so I don't mind that uh they've uh gone in a slightly different direction there.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: Monday, don't love the fact that another streaming service has tried to take money out of my pocket, but uh this is the world we live in now, and so uh I think the Canucks have nine games on Mondays, and uh then they got the Wednesday games that are on Prime as well.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, it's not enough just to have cable, you gotta have uh subscriptions to these streaming services, and uh uh this is just how Pro Sports is being delivered now in 2026.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: So um Justin Williams has always uh seemed like a pretty smart guy, and and you know, I I I've enjoyed Colby's work wherever it is, been at Sportsnet or part of the Pittsburgh Penguins uh regional broadcast as well.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, he's a bit of a character and uh I think uh good for the game in that regard.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_01: So uh let's see how it all works out.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, end of the day, it's the games itself, not so much the the intermissions and the panels that uh we should be tuning in for.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_01: But um we also know that uh people want to be entertained and that uh there is more to uh the sport of hockey and life of the National Hockey League than just the three periods of game action.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: And so uh SportsNet will uh field a roster that they think can uh be entertaining and can hold and captivate an audience uh you know uh during the intermissions and and prior to the the puck drop.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, thanks for reminding me.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: I gotta start canceling some of these apps that I have.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: I think I have way too many.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Jeff, thank you for joining me.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: And before we go, I want to.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: Great to uh be back again.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: Uh and I won't be doing my usual sign-off.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: Today we uh lost a rock and roll type superstar in the hockey community.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: Barry Melrose passed away.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: He was known as a player, drafted by Montreal, 36th overall in 1976.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: In the NHL, he played for the Winnipeg Jets, the Los Angeles, uh, sorry, the Toronto Might Bleafs and the Detroit Red Wings.
• 20:40
