Listen: J.D. Burke Talks Canucks Draft and Trading Tanev

Jun 27, 2017, 11:00 EDTUpdated: Jun 27, 2017, 02:51 EDT
After a busy week in Chicago, our very own Canucks Army Managing Editor J.D. Burke joined TSN 1040 AM’s Mid-Day Show to talk about everything that did and didn’t happen over the NHL Entry Draft’s weekend.
The hosts of the show, Blake Price and Jeff Paterson, get right into the Canucks draft after peppering Burke with an assortment of questions about his week and the brisket he so affectionately tweeted about on Saturday. They start with Elias Pettersson, before covering almost every Canucks’ pick.
After a hearty discussion about the players the Canucks took at the draft, and what that means for the rebuild, they get into how the Vegas Golden Knights fared in their first run. Burke gives them two thumbs up. Last, but certainly not least in the hearts and minds of Canucks fans, they discuss the Chris Tanev trade possibilities, or the lack thereof.
I don’t want to give away too, too much information here. At this point, you’re just going to have to listen in for yourself. I’ve posted a link below, or you can follow the source tweet at the beginning of the article.
