The Whiteboard: The Brady Blockbuster

6/22/202624 min

Draft week is here, and Jamie Dodd and Thomas Drance react to the stunning Brady Tkachuk trade to Florida, discussing what it means for Ottawa, Canadian markets, and the ongoing trend of American stars leaving Canadian teams. The guys debate why teams can’t afford to make draft decisions based on nationality and why asset management will be more important than ever in Vancouver’s rebuild. Plus, the latest on the Canucks’ draft plans at third overall, reports linking Jussi Ahokas to the Abbotsford coaching job, and growing signs that Caleb Malhotra may not be the lock many assumed.
