Good for Jake, good for the Canucks to finally send Jake down.

I expect a couple weeks of transition and wouldn't be surprised if Green scratches Jake a game or two.

Don't freak out if/when it happens, Green does to all the guys who are NHL prospects.

Jake will be back and he will be improved, hopefully mgmt has the patience to allow him to learn at his own pace.

Didn't Gagner sign a 1 year deal?

Essentially it would be Virtanen + Baertschi + 2nd round pick for Jenner?

Yes but I'm mostly just trying to get Don really worked up for when he returns.

I have been advocating for him to go to the minors since before start of the season... to get the training and learning he needs under Green while Green is still a part of the organization.

He's already sent me a PM saying it's driving him nuts he can't respond.

Gone until Sunday.

The general tone of realism in here since he's been gone has been a refreshing change.

Seriously, what the hell is up with that?

Sounds more like a time-out as opposed to a development move lol.

Agreed, a timeout is sitting in the press box. If they want to see how he responds, they should play him to see what being a scratch did, otherwise Utica for development until he earns a return

or a PR move to satisfy the growing criticism.

Don't you need a different mobile phone number as well in order to post?

I think that's a new thing, back in my day you didn't need that. I'm sure Don has a wife with a cell phone.

I expect we will be seeing CanuckRon appearing on the threads soon.

I'm sure that if the Canucks finish last, somehow they will be the first last place team to not get 1 overall.

Wasn't referring to the last place team not getting the first overall but instead being the first 30th place team to not win the lotto ....as it's happened multiple times already I believe
