Fresh off correctly predicting the Zeev Buium extension, the guys turn to who's next on Vancouver's contract radar — Liam Ohgren, Jonathan Lekkerimäki, and Tom Willander — then run a full slate of preseason predictions (points leader, wins leader, breakout ex-Canuck, NHL award picks, trade count) before wrapping with Jake DeBrusk's apparent change of heart on staying in Vancouver and a push for John Garrett's induction into the Canucks Ring of Honour. Stephen, Daniel, Jeremy, and Adrian open by taking a victory lap on last episode's Buium contract prediction, then debate which player Vancouver should extend next — weighing Ohgren, Lekkerimäki, D'Ellis "D Petey," and Tom Willander, with the group leaning toward locking up Willander before the September 15 deadline that shortens maximum deal length. They dig into who has the hardest shot on the team (Pettersson vs. Hronek) before launching a full round of listener-facing preseason predictions: points leader (Boeser vs. Pettersson vs. a dark-horse Karlsson pick), most wins among the goalies (Demko, Lankinen, or Tolopilo), best season from a former Canuck, best season among Podkolzin/Ohgren/Höglander, most improved young defenseman (Willander/Buium/D Petey), NHL award longshots (Masterton, Art Ross, Jack Adams), and an over/under on trades made this season. They close with a discussion on Jake DeBrusk's recent comments suggesting he's bought into the team's culture and isn't seeking a trade, praise for veterans Hronek and DeBrusk for welcoming younger players off the ice, and a unanimous call for broadcaster John Garrett's induction into the Canucks Ring of Honour.
