The Canucks prospects are in Penticton, working like mad to impress an all-new management group. Meanwhile, we’re sitting on our behinds judging those prospects, their skill, and their effort. In general, we’re pretty positive about the prospects of these prospects.

We talk specifically about the Canucks’ first round draft picks in the tournament: Hunter Shinkaruk, Bo Horvat, Nicklas Jensen, and Brendan Gaunce. We also touch on Frank Corrado’s underwhelming start and how the Youngstars Tournament often forces prospects out of their game as they try to impress as an individual rather than a member of the team.

Because it’s Pass it to Bulis, we also talk extensively about crossword puzzles and whether sports, and by extension life, have any inherent meaning. Things get dark.
