What's the deal with Buium & the Canucks?

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we tackle one of the biggest long-term decisions facing the Vancouver Canucks: Should the Canucks lock up Zeev Buium before the season even begins? Buium has quickly established himself as one of the organization's cornerstone pieces, and with the NHL salary cap continuing to climb, there's a growing argument that Vancouver should sign the young defenseman to a long-term extension now rather than risk paying significantly more a year from today. We'll break down why acting early could save the Canucks millions, what a fair contract might look like, and whether management should make Buium one of the faces of the franchise for the next decade. Buium became extension-eligible this summer, and several analysts have argued that getting ahead of his next deal could be a smart long-term move. Then we turn our attention to one of the most fascinating names still on the market. With reports suggesting Patrik Laine could be a candidate for a professional tryout (PTO) as he looks for his next NHL opportunity, we ask the question: Should the Vancouver Canucks make the call? While there has been speculation linking Laine to clubs looking for low-risk scoring upside, we'll debate whether Vancouver has anything to lose by bringing in a proven goal scorer on a tryout and seeing if there's still another chapter left in his NHL career. 📈 KEY SEARCH TERMS: Vancouver Canucks Canucks news Zeev Buium extension Zeev Buium contract Patrik Laine Canucks rumors Vancouver Canucks offseason NHL free agents Canucks podcast Locked On Canucks Kyle's dropping a children's book: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/MLECDZHQF0HD0/checkout/XVCNKBGDMN6NOKN7H6OSISRI Trevor wants to help you plan and grow your wealth: https://www.vallorawealth.com/ Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/XjPs5zVav Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
