Then what happens to Åman, PDG and Karlsson? Anyone thinks that those guys would be claimed if they have to go through waivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way they would accrue through the year would be to paper transaction the 13F and 7 D to Abbotsford everyday they are in Van and bring them on the road only. either that or trade Poolman who they also just have on IR not LTIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outshone by Juulsen, but ofc it's easy to look good partnering Hughes. Soucy and Wolanin had good games, Wolanin especially - showed his smooth skating puck carrying ability several shifts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ballisticsports Posted September 26 Popular Post Share Posted September 26 (edited) 49 minutes ago, Devron said: Be nice to see Lekkermaki make the team but I think giving him a shit load of minutes and all situations in Abby wouldn’t be a bad idea either I agree about lots of playing and leading, plus I think they Pencil in Lek to registered starting line-up, then send him down before the game starts to accumulate his performance bonus cushion, the potential performance bonuses currently attached to Lek is $475,000 in potential bonuses If Lekk is on the Canucks’ opening day roster, he has a cap hit of $918,333, and all of his potential performance bonuses go into the relief pool (until they are achieved). If Lek is not on the Canucks’ opening day roster, and they want to recall him later, they’d have to make room for a $1,393,333 cap hit if he reached them, (money we don't have) Also, with that cushion savings,we wouldn't have no problem to recall a Raty or DPete or Sasson etc. Not sure if any of the forwards are waiver exempt?, so we may have to expose someone like Aman? (we have depth now, but being capped up while a bottom feeder still has implications on todays team) Edited September 26 by Ballisticsports 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuchaNuxtalgia Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Very exciting to anticipate their full, reg season roster & lines, when the squad has all healthy hands on deck. Not sure I can recall them ever having such a strong level of depth. Season could be historical. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Curmudgeon Posted September 26 Popular Post Share Posted September 26 Just got home. What a great finish. We were seven rows back and right in line with the faceoff dot. Sprong's goal was right in front of us, with 14.3 left on the clock. The OT goal was awesome. Petey, Quinn and DeBrusk made the Flames look like U-14s. A few observations: 1. Quinn Hughes is such a smooth skater you don't even hear his blades on the ice. I was awed by his ability to process the game and to make ingenious plays with the puck at breathtaking speed. Worth the price of admission. 2. Petey had a slow start but picked up as the game wore on. He had a couple of good looks and dinged one off the post. His play in overtime was top notch. 3. I can see DeBrusk playing with Petey. He was able to find the open spots and his deflected goal showed great hand-eye coordination. 4. I think Desharnais is going to really grow his game with Foote and Gonchar working with him. He is very big and plays hard. He played with Soucy and they were solid. 5. Arshdeep Bains is such a smart player. He's a great playmaker and can score when the opportunity presents itself, but there is a little too much competition and I think he'll end up in Abbotsford. 6. I know many are sold on Raty making the club, and he would be a good addition, but my preference would be Max Sasson. I like his speed, skill and high hockey IQ. I believe he is ready for NHL duty, but there is another log jam at centre, so I don't know that he'll get the chance. 7. Jiri Patera looked fine. Made some big saves and didn't allow any softies. I see him backing up Tolopilo in Abby. 8. I watched Sprong closely to see if he is weak defensively and I have to say that he seemed to be engaged enough. But his goal was a thing of rare beauty that offers a glimpse of what he could be if he is able to adapt to Tocchet's demands. The guy sure knows where the net is. 9. Di Giuseppe had a solid, two-way game. I think he makes the team. He wouldn't clear waivers, so Abbotsford isn't an option. 10. The radio guys spent time pumping Sherwood's tires, but I honestly didn't see much from him, but I only see what I see and I don't pretend to see it all. Overall, a really great finish to a pretty tight game. 7 1 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JamesB Posted September 26 Popular Post Share Posted September 26 In early pre-season wins and losses don't matter much, although it was fun to see the win and the last few minutes were exciting. The biggest issue is how the guys fighting for spots look. So which guys helped themselves and which guys did not? Here is my take. 1. Patera was okay but probably remains pencilled in at #3 on the depth chart (i.e. starter in Abby). Giving up 3 goals on 19 shots is not a great stat line and the Bean goal was not great. The other two goals were on grade A chances and he made some big saves, but no more than most goalies make on an average night. 2. The D is pretty much set and Woo and Wolanin did not do anything to make a case for making the team. Wolanin had some good moments offensively but had too many defensive breakdowns. I thought Woo had a tough night. 3. That said, I was a bit disappointed in Juulsen and Desharnais, both of whom struggled at times. (And Juulsen fell down on the 3rd Calgary goal.) But I guess Desharnais looks ok for a 3rd pairing guy with Juulsen as 7th man. 4. Sprong and DeBrusk had big nights offensively, with good chances as well as actual goals. But Tocchet was restrained about them in his post-game comments and it is pretty obvious he wants more defensive consistency from both guys. 5. Raty, Sasson, Bains, Karlsson, Blais and Lekker all played back-to-back. Lekker may be on the opening night team for cap-related reasons but I now expect him to be sent to Abby soon after, although he will get another shot in pre-season. I think the Blais PTO will end soon and I don't see how Karlsson or Bains could make the opening night roster. I think Raty and Sasson were pretty good tonight considering the fatigue factor and both are competing with Aman for a spot. Any of those guys could play 4C with Blueger injured or with Suter moving to the wing. (Suter was excellent with Miller and Boeser last year.) 6. As for the "stars", Hughes was coasting for much of the time but still looked like the best player on ice. Petey did not do much in the first two periods (and I have no problem with him coasting in pre-season), but in the 3rd period and OT he looked like the best forward on the ice. On the whole, pre-season is going pretty well. I just hope the goalies can hang in there until Demko is healthy. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him with Sprong Personally like to see Hogs Suter Sprong as a bottom six line feasting on lesser competition. Leaves Sherwood, Heinen, Lekkermaki, Pizza for the top six. Hogs maybe moves up but would collar him pretty fast if he's going to Mikheyev himself (can't built chemistry, misses too many chances etc).

Karlsson gets picked up by San Jose Yeah but asset management is a thing. We all say we have a lot of depth but I wouldn't undo that depth by losing guys to waivers I think Lek, Raty, Karlsson all start in AHL unless PDG/Aman drop they ball which is unlikely. Also Aman is very underrated. The guy is a great penalty killer. It's a long season and I'd rather be 18 deep at forward. Whoever forward 13-15 on depth chart will get plenty of NHL games and forwards 16-18 will most likely get games in there as well 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
