irwin is not a regular nor is he even penciled in for a spot.. if the #6 slot is up for grabs.. then perhaps put players in those spots to see how they handle not put them out to get manhandled.. woo rathbone is probably competing for those spots.. they are playing against calgary's top line.. they are getting clobbered.. coz they are playing way above their level.. if the evaluation was based on this game.. then they probably are not going to have a chance as your 6th or 7th defenceman.. but it's not really their fault coz they are playing well above their paygrade.

He qualifies as an NHL regular over 100gp 61 last season alone. And unless you have a crystal ball we don’t know how many he’ll play this year as slot #6 is still wide open.

This is like choosing to play a game of chess with only pawns though, hoping one turns out to be a rook at best?

It’s being used as assessment for the fringe NHLers that everyone has had eyes on as potentially making the club. Why can’t people understand this?

Oh I understand what you're saying. I'm saying this is just demoralizing and generally unhelpful for literally everyone Canucks.

All due respect you aren't a NHL caliber executive. What an average fan thinks is good for the team is so far from the truth there is a reason why Canucks managment have jobs and are paid millions while the average person just moans on the forums.

What a pointless comment. It's called an opinion, we all can have them, and message boards are for posting them.

Putting a line up like this so stupid. Get the team together so they can get some good quality opposition with each other. Putting a majority of bubble players together makes no sense  at all. In what scenario would a situation like this present itself. It would never happen.  Or are they trying to make cuts for abottsfor sending them to the echl?

I don’t understand it either Chon. But the guys out there tonight need to show some gate for losing so bad. Hack, whack, and fight. Only a loser muffin finishes this game. At least 50 years ago.
