June 21 2024 – Frank Seravalli

Should the Canucks go all in on Jake Guentzel or should they spread the money around in free agency? Matt and Blake discuss the most prudent path to keeping the Canucks near the top of the NHL's pecking order. Daily Faceoff's NHL insider Frank Seravalli stops by to explain Canucks' off-season path of landing a big free agent winger to play with Elias Pettersson. Can they bring back Nikita Zadorov if they're able to move out Ilya Mikheyev? Frank walks us through it all while taking ownership for saying Filip Hronek would command $8 million per season. Frank also notes that a potential offer sheet involving a young Canuck has been floated about in NHL circles.


The fellas also discuss Canada falling to Messi and Argentina in the Copa América opener, the upcoming weekend of local sports, the Stanley Cup and the NHL off-season as a whole. Plus, your feedback in "To The People We Go!" Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

June 20 2024 – Patrick Johnston & Rob Williams

Moving on after the signing of Hronek, Matt and Blake look at the next shoes to drop in Vancouver, which might be a trade of forward Ilya Mikheyev. The guys talk about news that the agent is now being involved in the pursuit of a deal out of town for the struggling winger, and whether the Canucks may have to pay to move on from the contract.


Patrick Johnston stops by with his take on salary retention vs a draft pick sweetener in a Mikheyev deal. Also, PJ weighs in on whether Jake Guentzel is the piece that turns the Canucks into a true contender. Both Patrick and Rob Williams of The Daily Hive also give their report cards on the Hronek contract, and Rob talks about the view of the Stanley Cup Final from Canucks fans. All that, plus an update from the Lions, C’s and Whitecaps. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

Plus, he looks at the pros and cons of a Jake Guentzel signing and whether trading for his rights is worth it, and he outlines what kind of wingers would ultimately work with Elias Pettersson. All that, plus the latest on a C’s no-hitter, Lions and Whitecaps injuries, and Canada Soccer getting set to face Lionel Messi!

FILIP HRONEK SIGNS 8-YEAR EXTENSION + June 18, 2024 – John Shannon

Matt and Blake record a special emergency edition of Sekeres & Price LIVE discussing the Filip Hronek contract extension! Then, we get into our regular-scheduled program. The Jake Guentzel sweepstakes will be at a fever pitch soon as we’re inside two weeks until free agency opens, so Matt and Blake have no choice but to react to the latest report that the Canucks will be all in to try and land the prized winger. The guys get into what that level of signing would mean to the balance in the lineup, and into the long-term effects on the salary cap. They also preview Game 5 of the Stanley Cup and talk about the somewhat muted interest in the Final despite a Canadian team and the best player on the planet being involved.


The perfect guest for all of that is longtime HNIC producer John Shannon, who gives his two cents on what’s happening, and why fan interest is what it is. Plus, he gets in the Amazon deal with the NHL, Guentzel to the Canucks, and the debacle that is the Columbus Blue Jackets. All that, plus some injury updates from the Lions, and a pretty juicy Whitecaps rumour. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

June 17 2024 – Jeff Paterson & Christian Covington

A weekend to remember in sports, so lots on the table for Matt and Blake, from Canucks free agent rumours to the Oilers finally rebounding to the US Open to the Lions' home opener attendance record! Rink Wide: Vancouver host Jeff Paterson stops by to take a bite out of the Canucks recent storylines, including the value in possible long term investments in Hronek and Zadorov on the blueline. Plus, Jeff offers a restrained take on what to do with Ilya Mikheyev, and an aggressive one on the Canucks pursuit of Jake Guentzel. 


The guys are also joined by CFL legacy player Christian Covington as the hometown boy is back after 9 years in the NFL, and after a sack in his first ever CFL home game, he tells the story of how and why he’s returned north of the border. 


All that, plus a review of the Whitecaps loss on Saturday, Alphonso Davies makes some news, and a US Open edition of The Golf Report after a finish to remember!

June 13 2024 – Patrick Johnston & Rob Williams

A newsy Thursday in June? You bet it is! Matt and Blake chew on a bunch of tidbits today from the Canucks reportedly shopping Ilya Mikheyev, to the availability of Patrik Laine, to the signings of Kaako and Chatfield elsewhere in the NHL. Not to mention, the guys talk about Former Canucks AGM and S&P contributor Laurence Gilman parting ways with the Leafs. 


Patrick Johnston of The Province stops by and gives his latest thoughts on the Canucks' off-season plan, which he thinks still may include a Flip Hronek trade. PJ also weighs in on the debate of the week “Should the Canucks chase a top-end free agent, or simply get more free agent talent from the middle end of the talent pool?”. 


Then it’s Rob Williams from The Daily Hive Vancouver to chat about the many options in free agency and his opinion on Laine as an acquisition. All that, plus the latest from Lions and Whitecaps camps as they get set for games this weekend. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

June 12 2024 – Frank Corrado & PuckPedia’s Hart Levine

Big game hunting?


Despite the Canucks having several holes to fill on the roster, today the guys look at the possibility of the team devoting a lot of their cap space to bringing in a true difference maker to the team on the free agent market. Frankie Corrado stops by and gives his opinion on the matter, including his scouting report on the top tier and 2nd tier players. Also, Frank gets into the role of salary cap websites as tools for teams, but also talks about how players use the sites as well.


Then the guys are joined by Hart Levine of PuckPedia, the sole salary cap site that will be left standing when CapFriendly goes dark in July. Hart gets into the history of his site and what got him interested in doing it. He also weighs in on the current crop of free agents, and the new changes his site has recently undergone. All that, plus another edition of The Golf Report as we get set for the US Open! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.

June 11 2024 – John Shannon & Amar Doman

The Cup gets closer to Florida, but Patrik Allvin misses out his chance at a trophy, so lots to chat about for Matt and Blake on today’s show.


The guys also share their thoughts on Roberto Luongo having another 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final, the latest rumours on Canucks free agents, and the NHL shooting itself in the foot again with regards to the salary cap websites. 


John Shannon then steps in and gives his thoughts on the Stanley Cup Final, the ups and downs of the Oilers, and the level of officiating that we’ve seen in the playoffs. He also discusses Patrik Allvin falling short in voting for GM of the year, and what the acquisition of CapFriendly means to the rest of the hockey industry. 


BC Lions owner Amar Doman joins us to recap a tough season-opener loss to the Argos before setting the stage for Saturday's home opener that will feature 50 Cent in front of 50,000+ fans at BC Place! All that, plus a big week ahead for the Whitecaps as well! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
