Apr 8, 2026: A Battle for RJ(Johnson)? Catching up with RJ (Johansen)

After Ryan Johnson rumours begin to percolate, Matt and Blake delve into the possibility of an internal promotion causing a GM change in Vancouver. The guys look at RJ's resume so far and his fit with the team right now, amid contradictory reports of the Canucks' willingness to make sweeping changes off the ice. TSN's Frank Corrado joins the guys to discuss the RJ/GM possibility and his own personal interactions with the man. Frankie also talks about the Canucks making proactive/protective changes in order to keep Johnson and/or Malhotra. Plus, Corrado gets into the future of the Canucks goaltending situation and the unexplained extra futility for the Canucks at home. Then it's the pride of Port Moody, Ryan Johansen, to talk about his retirement from the NHL and his years of duelling with the best centres in the Western conference. Ryan talks about facing the Sedins, playing in front of Vancouver fans, and whether he was ever close to playing for the Canucks. He also gets into his meteoric rise from BCHL to WHL to 1st round pick! The guys wrap up with a peek at the opener for the C's at the Nat, the Jays and Mariners can't buy a win, and an update on the Whitecaps and Goldeneyes!
