Brough: “Dan from North Van texts in. The way in which you’re speaking about discovering a playmaker, appears like a Marner signing, slash overpay.
So Dan, I’ve, I’ve type of been hesitant to speak concerning the thought of signing Mitch Marner, as a result of I feel one other factor that the Canucks prime six has to get is greater and stronger and meaner.”
Dodd: “That’s like, so it’s good to get quicker.”
Brough: “Yeah, yeah.”
Dodd: “You want extra play-making capacity. You might want to get larger and harder. That’s true.”

Brough: “It’s simply the sore spot of the workforce, and somebody texted in and mentioned, you understand, the one factor that’s encouraging is that the Canucks have three good or dependable defensive pairs. And, you understand, I agree, the protection appears to be like lots higher, however there’s a cause the protection appears to be like lots higher. It’s as a result of they robbe Peter to pay Paul, and so they improved the protection at the price of the ahead group.
And you understand, if you consider it, (Filip) Hronek is a product of (Bo) Horvat. (Marcus) Pettersson is a product of J.T. Miller.”
Dodd: “Yep.”
Brough: “And so they drafted Quinn Hughes. You already know that, they’ve acquired some younger guys coming, and Victor Mancini was with one other man that was a product of JT Miller. So yeah, you’re feeling higher concerning the protection, however on the similar time, you’re feeling a lot worse concerning the ahead group.”
Dodd: “Marner is a well-liked title. I’d be shocked if he indicators with the Canucks.”
Producer (?): “Like I don’t assume he’s the reply man. I’m not feeling Marner on the Canucks.”
Dodd: “Put that apart, put your analysis of the participant apart. Let’s say you thought Marner was the right participant for the Canucks. The probabilities of him leaving Toronto to signal with Vancouver appear principally nil. Like I might be surprised if that occurred.”
Brough: “Properly, JDog the Carhog(??) texts in, and he says they should supply (Sam) Bennett $10 million per yr if he’s obtainable. Do actually all the pieces they get to him.
Fascinating over the weekend, Elliott Freeman reporting that the Florida Panthers and Sam Bennett are speaking contract. Now whether or not, whether or not or not they get that over the end line stays to be seen. However when you’re Sam Bennett, have you ever gotten a bit, have you ever loved your keep in Canada with the Calgary Flames, or have you ever loved your keep in Florida with the Panthers?
And when you had been to type of chart out your subsequent transfer, would you be trying to return to Canada, or would you look to remain in a spot like Florida?
You already know, like, I, I don’t know what, what, what if Bennett likes all of the issues that include Florida? I don’t know. Perhaps a few of these guys do, do see a constructive in taking part in in Canada and that they’re, you understand, taking part in the place it issues probably the most, proper? And I feel these are the kinds of guys you actually should recruit and discover the fellows that need to come and play in Canada and need to need the strain and need the joy of taking part in in Canada.”
