Dan talked about the pressures the OEL will face when there aren’t many that compare to players his age or contract size. Thinks the Canucks can’t afford another anchor contract to go south.

Talked about the pattern that has emerged when it comes to Jim Benning getting these 2nd contracts done for their star players. Talked about Tyler Motte not being available for the start of the season and what that means for the club.

He was a great talent, and a wonderful friend. We will miss him terribly. ||It's an episode that's been years in the making, and it will not disappoint! JASON BOTCHFORD of The Province Sports, the architect of The Provies himself, joins the Real Good Boys as the inaugural guest in the Real Good Studio to talk (what else) -- the Canucks. We get into it about executives around the league reading Jyrki21's comic strip and thinking he must be a former member of Canucks brass, plus understanding Vancouver as a market, the media beatdown the team took in 2011, Dale Tallon vs the Computer Boys, Kyle Dubas, NHL draft lists, Noah Hanifin, and the probability of the team trading its first round pick. And Botch regales with torturous tales of attending his daughters' dance recitals.|| This episode was released on June 4th, 2018. RIP Jason. We love you.

Ben Kuzma of the Province Sports breaks down a debacle against Carolina, and wonders if that's the last go-around for the Pouliot-Gudbranson pairing

Ben Kuzma of the Province Sports says Elias Pettersson is seeing more attention from opposing teams, taking away time and space from the rookie. But Kuz also suggests the Canucks need to be aggressive going to the net, causing havoc, forcing teams into penalties, so Pettersson and a healthy Brock Boeser can get going on the power play. Kuz also would like to see Jake Virtanen get power play time, even on the 2nd unit

Paul Chapman of the Province Sports isn't a fan of what the Alphonso Davies transfer means for Whitecaps fans, but says the club must use the money well and be more open as to how it's all happened

Mike and Jason talk World Cup, Lions, and Whitecaps after a busy weekend...and also discuss Canucks offseason moves with Ben Kuzma of the Province Sports
