At least he’s a good hand for the farm that can lend some vet experience to the group. At very least, he’s also a 4th line call up option should we require that kind of personnel during the season. To call up a guy like Bains in the absence of another player, you have to play him in the top 6 to be effective. A guy like Blais is an idea 4th line call up or reserve because that’s his meat and potatoes. We still likely will have better options than him in that event so, like you say, it’s awesome to see this club have the depth it does going forward. The thing I really like is we also seem to have a group of players on our 3/4 that might get a look and some mins in the top 6 that might be way more effective than in years past

Can we call him up? He isnt under contract with Vancouver.

This is probably it.

 

Pettersson, Boeser, Debrusk played 2, Hughes played 1, and Miller played none so far.

 

My guess is majority of our main roster will play Friday night.

 

Heinen - Miller - Boeser

Debrusk - Pettersson - Sprong

Hoglander - Raty - Garland

PDG - Aman- Sherwood

Suter (since he played quite a few pre-season games already, I can see him given the night off for some rest, and give Aman one last look at 4C)

 

Hughes - Desharnais

Soucy - Hronek (moves up to play with Hughes at points during the game)

Forbort - Myers

 

Silovs (starts in goal for Friday because Lankinen is playing tonight)

Lankinen

 

IR: Blueger, Joshua, Demko

 

Lekkrimaki will start the season in Abottsford, but I see him be a mid/late-season call up to booster the top 6 scoring and offense.

 

Ideally when everyone is healthy by mid-season:

 

Heinen - Miller - Boeser

Debrusk - Pettersson - Sprong

Joshua - Raty/Blueger/Suter - Garland

Hoglander - Blueger/Suter/Raty - Sherwood

PDG

 

Hughes - Hronek

Soucy - Myers

Forbort - Desharnais

Juulsen, Friedman

 

Demko

Lankinen

 

If everything goes well, and we can pick up additional blueliner or third line centre by TDL + Lekkerimaki call-up:

 

Heinen - Miller - Boeser

Debrusk - Pettersson - Lekkerimaki/Sprong

Joshua - RHC via Trade - Garland

Hoglander - Blueger/Suter - Sherwood

Raty: Raty will likely be in/out of the line up by the time we get close to the playoffs. I think in tight/tough playoff series, coaches often will prefer a more veteran/experienced players in the line up. And the team would be a lot deeper

 

Hughes - Hronek

LHD via Trade - Myers

Soucy - Desharnais

Forbort, Juulsen, Friedman

 

or

 

Hughes - Hronek

Soucy - Andersson (via trade)

Forbort - Myers

Desharnais, Juulsen, Friedman

 

Demko

Lankinen

Silovs

If we can get Weegar that would nice.

 

Hughes-Weegar

Soucy-Hronek

Deharnais-Myers

 

That top pair could easily log 30 min.

That's what pre-season is for. It lets them know what they have to work on in the future. Playing regulars with a bunch of scrubs against scrubs isn't going to help them game prepare at all. These guys are working on systems in practice.

 

No one should be wasting on a penny on this.

Spot on...

 

Its more important for Tocchet to see, how his younger players fares, when having face tough opposition...

PK and 5v5... 

 

He knows, what his regulars can do, this is his last chance to figure out, who to use on the main roster, and how close the rest is...

Results are irrelevant...

This is just the list of guys who have gotten into preseason action so far, some have been cut already in red, some are locks in blue. 

Notable is that Raty is slated to be in his 4th preseason game in five games total! Lekkerimaki too. Sasson will be in his 5th strait preseason game. Giving him a good long look. I will guess Tolopilo or Patera to back up Lankinen tonight.

JT Miller is the only healthy Canuck not to have a preseason game yet. 
McWard Day to Day

Blueger Day to Day

Joshua Day to Day

Demko Injured

Poolman IR.

Tocchet using preseason to give a chance to the new guys and really audition the younger “bubble” guys.
 

Seeing how they perform not just in limited action but in a bit of a grind situation here.  I can see the logic. As long as we come out of the gate close to what we did last year it’s all good.

Looks like the Oil are going with NHL forwards and AHL defence. Toc is obviously still undecided about some of the young players, so I think this is last chance saloon for most. Raty has surely done enough, but I don't see any young D making the squad. Obviously Toc sees something he likes in Bains but it escapes me. He works hard, but with not much production.
