This week in Canucks talk

The shows spent the week focused on Quinn Hughes's return to Vancouver after his trade, debating how fans received him and what his departure says about the Canucks organization. There's been discussion about leadership dysfunction in Vancouver and whether the team's struggles are connected to how things ended with Hughes. The talk also touched on fan apathy in the city as the Canucks continue to disappoint.
