July 26 2023 - Rick Celebrini & Jeff Paterson (co-hosting)

Matt and co-host Rink Wide: Vancouver co-host Jeff Paterson talk about Sebastian Aho's rich contract extension and how it relates to the Canucks getting Elias Pettersson extended. They discuss the high and low ends of what Pettersson could make on his new deal, and compare him to Aho and other players in the same contract vicinity. They also discuss the Montreal Canadiens as a potential trade partner for the Canucks given the former's surplus of centremen. Rick Celebrini, the director of Performance and Sports Medicine for the Golden State Warriors, stops by to tell us how much he misses Vancouver and the tabs he keeps on his former employers (Canucks, Whitecaps). Rick shares stories about working at Rogers Arena with his two oldest sons (Aiden and Macklin) in tow. He talks about Aiden's journey to being a Canucks draft pick and what lays ahead for Macklin, the presumptive first overall pick in the 2024 NHL draft. He also tells us about the Warriors culture, which includes NBA stars keeping tabs on his sons' hockey careers. We go "To The People" and hear from Sekeres and Price listeners and followers, while the Welcome Matt tackles improvement-from-within and bounce-back candidates as we continue our theme on what it will take for the Canucks to be Cup contenders.
