Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin was named the 2024 recipient of the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy on Thursday, edging out Elias Pettersson of the Vancouver Canucks and Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The honor recognizes sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of play and is voted upon by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.

Slavin won convincingly with 81 first-place votes, while Pettersson finished second on the ballot.

Slavin is the only the second defenseman to ever win the Lady Byng multiple times, joining Hall of Famer Red Kelly, who won three of his four during his time as a rearguard.

This season saw Slavin notch 37 points in 81 games while averaging nearly 21 minutes per contest. Despite his heavy usage, the 30-year-old only logged four minor penalties.

The Canucks defence corps is in the spotlight today, as Matt and Blake wonder aloud who will, and who should, patrol the right side of Quinn Hughes’ pairing. The Canucks face big decisions on Flip Hronek and Nikita Zadorov, but there are other fish in the sea that might work just as well, and maybe one of them is Chris Tanev?

Patrick Johnston stops by with his own opinions on the matter, plus he looks at the Canucks coaching staff for next season and who could replace Mike Yeo as an assistant. Not to mention, PJ updates the file on the Canucks practice facility.

Then it’s Rob Williams with his first visit since the end of the season, he gets into the defensive discussion, and whether the Canucks will look vastly different from the group that surprised this season. All that, plus a look at the Whitecaps win in KC, the prep for the Lions' final preseason game, plus Canadian Open golf and Canadian success at the French Open! Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
