The William Nylander saga is over in Toronto and to celebrate, Kyle Dubas made a "blockbuster" trade with Jim Benning and the Vancouver Canucks. Ryan, Geeta and Paul gather in the palatial estate to discuss the six year, $6.9 million AAV contract handed out to William Nylander at the 11th hour. What will this mean for the Maple Leafs' big cap crunch next season? Could we see Nylander or another big part of the Leafs' core be moved next year? Or can Kyle Dubas make it all fit under the salary cap? They also discuss the Vancouver Canucks trade for Toronto's odd man out, Josh Leivo. What can he bring to the struggling Canucks? Early projections have him playing with Bo Horvat, who has seen a revolving door of linemates this year, all while leading the team in scoring. They talk about how the Arizona Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks' have fared since making their big trade last week. Both teams are headed in opposite directions to say the least. Ilya Kovalchuk is set to miss a month of hockey following a procedure on his ankle. Is this a legitimate absence from the LA Kings, or is he just waiting out Willie D's tenure as head coach.

206 - Traded For A Pile Of Old Rags

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are here and things don't make a lick of sense. The best team of the last twenty years is on the verge of elimination against a team who squeaked into the playoffs on the second to last day. Ryan, Geeta and P Mac sit down at the palatial estate this week to break down the incredible and controversial start to the 2019 playoffs. From the multiple suspensions, the violence and the upsets, nobody predicted the playoffs would begin this way. The gang discusses Nazem Kadri being suspended, the Boston Bruins playing Bruins playoff hockey and the questionable officiating. They also look at the hatred brewing between the Vegas Golden Knights and the San Jose Sharks including Joe Thornton's nasty hit to the head that garnered him a one game suspension. They also discuss the countless coach firings and hirings. Coach Q winds up in Florida and Alain Vigneault lands in Philadelphia. They discuss why AV will be a great fit in Philly, and if he didn't sign with them right away, how he might have been a good replacement for Mike Sullivan in Pittsburgh, who's Penguins are on the ropes down 3-0 to the New York Islanders.

Matthew Tkachuk is not making any friends in the Western Conference. This was on full display on Saturday night in Calgary as the Battle of Alberta, and the battle for a playoff spot reached a fever pitch. Ryan, Geeta and P Mac hunker down in the palatial estate during Snowmageddon 2020 in Vancouver. They spend a great deal of time breaking down the Oilers/Flames game, the Tkachuk and Kassian ugliness and the suspension that followed. Dave skypes in to join the gang and talk about the New Jersey Devils firing Ray Shero midseason. After an anomaly of a playoff appearance in 2017/18 and some big name acquisitions, things never panned out the way the Devils hoped. Finally the gang discuss the slumping and injured Toronto Maple Leafs, touch on Quinn Hughes making the All-Star Game and talk about the Canucks' polarizing road trip.

203 - You Can't Fire The Players...

The 2019 NHL Draft in Vancouver has come and gone, the Canucks drafted out of Russia and a trade with Tampa Bay rocked the fanbase. But it's a potential free agent signing that has the Vancouver fans very concerned. Geeta, P Mac and Ryan gather this week out on the palatial estate's balcony which has become a second last podcast of the season tradition for Pucks On Net. They break down the Canucks' draft weekend. From drafting Vasili Podkolzin 10th overall, to trading a first round pick and a third round pick to Tampa for JT Miller, it was an eventful few days.  They look at Jim Benning re-signing Alex Edler to a neat and tidy two year deal as well as look back at Elias Pettersson winning the Calder Trophy and his very heartfelt acceptance speech, letting the entire hockey world know what an impact Jason Botchford had on him and the city. They also share their concerns regarding signing Tyler Myers to a long term, big money deal and what this could mean for the Canucks in the next several years. They touch on Mitch Marner's RFA drama in Toronto, the chances of him being offersheet'd and discuss how Kyle Dubas has handled these tough contract situations so far during his time as GM. Could this all be a clever ploy to reunite Marner with his "dad", Patrick Marleau in Carolina? Finally, they discuss Corey Perry being bought out by the Anaheim Ducks. P Mac's time covering the draft and answer some great listener questions. Support the show on Patreon! Pledge a coupla bucks (or $5) and get instant access to all our bonus content.

Ryan, Geeta and P Mac saddle up at the palatial estate to discuss the fallout of game 7 between San Jose and Vegas last Tuesday. From the "botched" call from the referees, to the momentum swing and four power play goals scored by San Jose to what could come in terms of penalty video reviews. Dave skypes in to give his thoughts on the game 7 comeback, his concerns about more video review, the Carolina Hurricanes' big game 1 win over Washington and a great Justin Williams comparison. They also discuss the Vancouver Giants' impressive postseason run, finishing off the Spokane Chiefs in just five games and the even more impressive run by the Ottawa 67's. Canucks' prospect Michael DiPietro is leading the team to an undefeated 12-0 streak in the playoffs. They also make potential yet flaky plans to check out game 1 of the WHL Championship. Finally, the gang discusses the swirling rumours of Mike Gillis' possible return to Vancouver. Ryan believes this could be the best possible situation for the team and unite the fanbase, while P Mac believes he's just trying to create more chaos! Support the show on Patreon!

223 - Professor Chaos & The Sharks' Game 7 Comeback

It was an ugly road trip for the Vancouver Canucks, and we spend the entire episode on Petey, Bo, Quinn and the boys. Ryan and P Mac get together this week a day removed from an ugly blown 3rd period lead by the Vancouver Canucks in Columbus.

Their playoff chances are dwindling but they aren't dead yet! They discuss the cap concerns this summer, the potential fallout if the Canucks miss the playoffs while still remaining optimistic for the stretch drive to the playoffs. Support the show on Patreon!

252 - Ain't No Easy Way

The Canucks’ season is nothing but a formality now and the Toronto Maple Leafs’ are in the midst of some off ice drama. But nothing compares to the latest instalment of nonsensical Eugene Melnyk quotes! Ryan, Geeta and P Mac gather this week to discuss the final weeks of the Vancouver Canucks season. Following an incredibly disappointing loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, there isn’t too much to get excited about. Dave joins the podcast for the first time in a few weeks to discuss Oilers’ president Bob Nicholson’s interesting comments on Tobias Rieder, the Blue Jackets’ exceptionally risky gamble and he chimes in on the Hart Trophy discussion. They also discuss the Maple Leafs’ alleged drama between Kyle Dubas and Mike Babcock. Is this all hearsay and quotes being misinterpreted? Or is there a serious rift between the GM and head coach about how to run an NHL team in 2019. Finally, the gang discusses Roberto Luongo’s cap penalty that could affect the Canucks, answer some listener questions and take a look at a questionable Twitter account. Could the eternally optimistic Jack Maxwell actually be someone under Eugene Melnyk’s employ? We investigate. Support the show on Patreon! Pledge a coupla bucks (or $5) and get instant access to all our bonus content. This week Ryan discusses his delicate feet and his seawall walk, the gang discusses low rent Canadian outlet stores and Ryan’s shameful online Pizza Hut order.

219 – Eugene’s Burner Accounts

The Maple Leafs have a week from hell. Their defense and their work ethic are both non existent. Have they already been written off, or can they get back on track and see if the third time's the charm vs the Boston Bruins? Ryan, P Mac and Geeta gather around the palatial estate to discuss who they can cast as Dave if he is unable to do the podcast next week. They also break down what is causing the sky to fall in Toronto. A six game stretch from hell for the Maple Leafs, losing to cellar dwellers and unable to play a lick of defence. After weeks of concern for his health and his workload, Vegas Golden Knights' starting goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is day to day with a lower body injury. An incredibly tough blow for the Golden Knights as Fleury was having a Hart Trophy caliber season. With that being said, they also discuss who deserves to be named MVP this season? Ryan tells an interesting tale from the weekend, Geeta gets a speeding ticket all while P Mac keeps a watchful eye on the Canucks' 3-2 OT win over the Chicago Blackhawks. Support the show on Patreon!

218 - The Maple Leafs Defence?

With the Vancouver Canucks season all but over, it's time for Quinn Hughes to enter the fold. The highly touted first round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft signed with Vancouver on Sunday night. Ryan, Geeta and P Mac gather at the palatial estate to discuss the Canucks absolute tailspin. While it's good for the draft lottery, it definitely hard to watch as a fan. They discuss if Quinn will actually see the ice or if his ankle injury is worse than expected. They discuss the Pittsburgh Penguins' rebound, and the irony of them acquiring Jared McCann and Erik Gudbranson in the same season. The two former Canucks have seemed to found homes in Pittsburgh, McCann playing top line minutes with Sid the Kid and Erik playing twenty minutes a game on a banged up Penguins blue line. Can they sustain it though? They look at the incredible season of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are having a record setting season. History might not be on their side though. They also discuss the incredibly deep and dangerous Golden Knights who steam rolled through Vancouver over the weekend. Can Vegas make another run for the cup? It all depends on their starting goaltender! Support the show on Patreon! Pledge a coupla bucks (or $5) and get instant access to all our bonus content. This week the gang plays The Newlywed Game! Very fun little segment to see how well we know each other! Visit www.patreon.com/pucksonnet Follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook

213 - "Best" In The West

Erik Gudbranson

The 2019 NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone and so has Erik Gudbranson. One of Jim Benning's biggest acquisitions early in his tenure as general manager was losing a lot of fans in Vancouver after three less than stellar seasons. Can he find a new start in Pittsburgh? Or will the game continue to pass him by? Ryan, Geeta and P Mac gather this week to breakdown the trade deadline. A deadline that saw the Columbus Blue Jackets absolutely load up for a playoff run with Matt Duchene, Adam McQuaid, Ryan Dzingel and Keith Kinkaid. Can Torts and his new lineup of pending UFA' finally win the Blue Jackets a playoff series? Or will it be another year of the same old in Columbus?  In Vancouver, the Canucks traded Erik Gudbranson to Pittsburgh for Tanner Pearson. We look back at Gudbranson's polarizing tenure in Vancouver and even Gudbranson himself admits it was nothing to be proud of. They also discuss the Vancovuer debut of Luke Schenn and if the former Maple Leaf first round draft pick can find a home in Vancouver playing regular minutes. They discuss the big teams loading up. Nashville and Boston bolster their already impressive rosters while the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs decide not to tinker with something that works. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Finally, they compare the Canucks to rom coms, and discuss the serious lack of goaltending in the western conference.  Support the show on Patreon!

251 - Demko's Silver Linings Playbook

It only took six years, but this podcast has finally willed Marc Crawford back into an NHL head coaching job. Okay well, it's the Ottawa Senators, but it still counts! Technically. Ryan, Geeta and P Mac gather around the mixing board at the palatial estate this week to discuss a sluggish start for Columbus following the NHL Trade Deadline. With their playoff chances diminishing each day, you have to remain confident in Columbus and that the Blue Jackets can turn this around following one heck of a roster shake up. They discuss Marc Crawford's return to head coaching following Guy Boucher's strange firing with just twenty games left in the season. What exactly can this coaching change due for the Senators in the short term and going forward? A lot of fans and media weren't able to make a lot of sense of it. They also talk about John Tavares' return to Long Island, Sean Avery sounding off on the Islanders fans and Toronto's warm reception for their favourite son that wears #91. Quinn Hughes' future and the Canucks' agonizing finish to the regular season are also talked about. They also answer a great Twitter question regarding the Canucks and The Office. Support the show on Patreon! Pledge a coupla bucks (or $5) and get instant access to all our bonus content.
