In this episode, DeanerHD joins me to break down the Vancouver Canucks’ massive bet on Zeev Buium after signing the 20-year-old defenceman to an eight-year, $75.04 million extension.

We look at why the contract could age extremely well, why Buium might already be underrated, what he still needs to improve, and who the Canucks should eventually pair with him on defence. We also get into his leadership potential, whether he could become Vancouver’s next captain, and Deaner makes a prediction on whether Buium can eventually break Quinn Hughes’ franchise scoring record for a Canucks defenceman.

And after predicting Buium’s new contract the last time he was on the show, I put Deaner on the spot for another one, this time involving Liam Öhgren.
