Anyone get away for the long weekend?
- vancity787

Yep. It was the best Canada Day long weekend I think I have had in as long as I can remember. Lots of good friends at the lake and all our kids having fun playing together. $800 in fireworks. An amazing creative engagement during the singing of the anthem after fireworks.(Nobody had a clue) It was great.

Gaunce and Subban on the team together will immediately change our fortunes

Hell no. Dorsett, assuming he is healthy, will help this team. A gritty vet that plays the game hard is needed on every team
- CanuckDon


That plays hard every single game and shows these kids work ethic on a daily basis.

Subban has two glaring problems which will hold him back from ever being a Canuck.


First off he would have more points than Edler and make him look bad .

Secondly he doesn't speak Swedish.

No Country Club for him

Adding a 3rd.....

Since Carol blogged about it. How options can shake out at camp for Green:

Danny Hank Gagner
Sven Bo LE
Granlund Sutter BB
Rodin Burmistrov JV
Boucher

Edler Stecher
Hutton Tanev
MDZ Guddy
OJ Wiercioch

Tandem Marky & Nilsson

Comets shuttle prospects like Goldy, Dahlen etc that are waiver excempt. Non waiver kept as depth in case injuries pile up.

I was hesitant to listen but I am glad I did. He sounds like he knows what he is doing. I also like it when he said. "Why hasn't anybody taken Kole Lind?" Knows who he likes.

Part 2 of line up and development. Just a note the lines here and above post can alter. It's more about what pool of players can play where and be interchanged to help with development. Come TDL certain vets that accumulate value could be moved. The balanced environment to develop prospects will help them take over those vet roles when traded for picks.

Spoiler on Comets for shuttle eligible* and depth development.

MacEwen* Dahlen* Goldy*
Molino* Gaunce* DD
Labate Chaput Megna
Carcone Cassels LaPlante
Stewart

Pedan Biega
McEneny* Subban*
Holm Chatfield
Brisebois Sautner
Cederholm- AHL rosters are bigger. D can be shuffled in & out of line up.

Demko & Bachman

Best thing for young Comets to develop into NHL hopefuls is to have leadership C&A by two lunch pail no nonsense vets like DD & Biega.

Boucher has a better shot than Rodin.

I really want OJ to make it but I think he is another year away.

Any word on Hobson? The Sedge hatch should be in full swing. I havent been there for it in 3 seasons.

Not yet. It has been a while for me as well.

I went out in the pontoon with my 6 year old. So it was mostly teaching him to cast. It was pretty windy to so we were getting blown up the west end and it took everything I had to row us back east. Battery died for the motor.

So you're thinking they will have JV play >10 minutes per night on the NHL 4th line, while Derek Dorsett plays 17+ minutes in a top 6 scoring role in the AHL?

As much as i like to do lineups it amounts to nada without playmakers at C or on the wing. The PP will continue to suffer lacking the same & no threat of shots from the point. Its a few years til EP & maybe luck out on Dahlin before it changes.

We still don't even know if Dorsett will play again. At least I haven't heard anything saying when he comes back.

Speed & skill mean nothing on there own without set-ups.
Unless shooting from everywhere & getting greasy goals all the time is fun.
Our D is not gonna provide much offense.
