The upcoming Canucks season thread

listening to the debate on the radio (lol @ the caller who called Blake Price "Plato") i agree with him on Corrado ... he is the 6th best dman right now on the big team ... and I understand they want him to play BIG minutes in Utica in all situations but I think he will be back soon if Weber & Alberts keep making defensive mistakes

Congrats to the Canuck fans on here, seems like Bo Horvat & Hunter Shinkaruk are likely to make the roster out of camp. Always nice to see the young guys get a chance. Hope they make you guys proud.

Shroeder's injury and Kassian's suspension opened up a couple of roster spots.
presumably Horvat will go down to junior within 9 games, but Shinkaruk has sure looked like he's belonged.
I haven't paid too much attention to see how much his minutes have been protected.

Botchford: Canucks? lack of depth the only reason Horvat and Shinkaruk still around

It may not matter. With Zack Kassian suspended, Jordan Schroeder hurt and a bottom six which will have people pining for Samme Pahlsson, heck even you Ryan Johnson, it’s plausible both Shinkaruk and Horvat could be on the opening night roster next week.

Now, there is a caveat here. The Canucks management have been eyeing this weekend’s waiver wire for two months now. Management believes it can find a player, maybe even a third-line centre, which would change the conversation

bobmac was saying canucks brass are expecting Joe Colborne to available ... highly optimistic that no other team will pick him up when th leafs waive him

Sux about Schroeder, and I guess i could see them sending Horvat down after a few games. Still encouraging to see Shinkaruk make the team tho.

Anymore zac/zach/zack's on the periphery of the nhl that the canucks can acquire?

Zac Efron?

My thought on this is gillis could have offered a 2nd rd pick and nonis would still send him to Calgary for the 4th as a fuck you. This was a virtual blowjob from nonis to Burke

The timing of the trade with canes right after colborne gets dealt to meshows that gillis prob offered nonis tochkin and the 4th rounder

Botch has been saying they wanted colborne bad. Youre right they never had a shot

Hey at least it wasn't a Florida trade

Is it me or is Gillis becoming entirely ineffective as a GM

I like the Dalpe pick-up. it's not a huge splash, but last I heard the kid had pretty decent upside.

Honestly now ... Horvat only showed flashes of being an nhl player in preseason. Theconsistency wasntthere

23 yearold wins over the19 year old everytime
