The Line Change Podcast: Episode 549 - Talking Canucks with Izzy Cheung

Today we're joined by The Hockey News Vancouver Canucks Deputy Site Editor and Goldeneyes reporter, and Izzy Cheung. We are breaking down absolutely everything going on in Vancouver hockey right now. From her amazing experience in the Botchford Project to her insights on the brand-new Canucks regime featuring the Sedins, Ryan Johnson, Manny Malhotra, and Richard Seeley.

We also dive deep into the 2026 NHL Draft. With the Canucks picking 3rd overall, we debate whether Caleb Malhotra or Ivar Stenberg is the right call—and what a Caleb and Manny father-son dynamic would look like in the organization! Finally, we shift gears to the PWHL to talk about the Vancouver Goldeneyes selecting Caroline "KK" Harvey 1st overall, Sarah Nurse re-signing, the massive 2026 PWHL expansion adding four new teams, and the rumors swirling around Jessica Campbell potentially stepping in as head coach.
