It was an eventful NHL offseason to say the least. Franchise players changed franchises. Teams building around young cores of superstars. Some major coaching changes, and heck, even the Toronto Maple Leafs signed some former Canucks.

The 2024/25 NHL season is on the horizon and it's time for the Vancouver Canucks to build from an incredibly successful season.

Ryan, Geeta and Arash hit record on the first podcast of the hockey season and break down the upcoming Canucks' season. Key offseason aquisitions, the current goalie uncertainty, and the annual search for Petey's winger, now starring Jake DeBrusk.

They look back to the teams' playoff run, their key departures in the offseason, and the lofty expectations for this squad to remain atop the Pacific Division.

The gang weighs in on Jonathan Lekkerimaki and predict how much the first round draft pick will play in the NHL this season.
