Jan 29, 2026: Canucks in a trade race, Rink ratings match the standings

As the Canucks try to at least "look" better vs the Ducks tonight, Matt and Blake wonder if the Canucks players are getting any sympathy for the manner and quantity of losses. The guys look at recent comments from players and the vacant captaincy as key indicators of the discontent. They also debate The Athletic's ranking of Rogers Arena and whether it deserves its spot on the list. Plus, there is plenty more trade buzz as well but from a bunch of new sellers around the NHL and the guys look at who might win the battle to make changes next. DFO Insider David Pagnotta stops by to give us his latest scoops regarding the Canucks roster and any possible moves but also a peek at the Flames and Rangers and anyone else who might be competing to sell off. Then it's Postmedia's Patrick Johnston with a look at the state of the Canucks, the need for a new captain, the possibility of a coaching change, and the condition of Rogers Arena. The guys wrap up the show with more Belichick/HOF fallout, the Lions have another signing, the Whitecaps are still in the hunt for talent and the Aussie Open open soap operas might be better than the tennis!
