I'm reading Jake Virtanen has finally earned a role on the team, good for him, I hope he turns it around.

Pretty good game. JV makes my team

I'm not sure yet. Would you rather he play limited minutes on the big squad or top line minutes in Utica, and be the first forward call-up for injury? Which is better for his development at this point?

Who do you take the chance of losing on waivers? Or the Waiver eligible guys go down till someone sucks or is traded.

As of now, I like:

Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser
Sedin - Sedin - Granlund
Vanek - Gagner - Eriksson
Dorsett/Burmistrov - Sutter - Archibald

Dorsett/Burmistrov

Or with JV:

Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser

Vanek - Gagner/Granlund - Eriksson
Virtanen - Gagner/Granlund - Archibald

Dorsett/Burmistrov

How the hell did the Nucks C team take it to the Flames A team?

Not enough but we can dream 😂👍

I know it's a cheap offer fellas... why all ??? included on add in assets. But no gritty Canuck winger to sell if that's what they want.

All kidding aside the Anderson rumor might kick up CBJ throwing him in package for the Dutch deal.

That's the dilemma

He's 100% earned a spot over Dorsett/Rodin/Burmistrov/Goldobin based on this pre-season.

Calgary looked lethargic. Most of these players have made the team, playing to not get injured.

Gaudreau and some others played lazy as (frank).

I wouldn't get hung up on who plays on what numbered line. Lines r not written in stone but if play well then more TOI or move up happens.

I think it comes down where a prospect can break into the line-up. Top 9 F spots can be fluid.

Van didnt have their 3 weakest forwards in the line up.

That's the dilemma

Totally agree👍
If a prospect earns it then worry about where & how much imo

How about this?

Sven Bo BB

Archie Burmi Sutter

archibald will faaaaade

i'd love us to run with a scoring 4th line. JV, Burmi, Granny, Bae, Rodin, Vanek rotations as necessary

I think we all know Vanek is 100% guaranteed a lineup spot and Hutton will be on the roster. No way in hell do I take scrubs like Weircoch over him.

This. As of now, he and JV have stood out above the other bubble guys.

3decent lines for Utica

Bunch of bums ....probably hungover

True, but realistically this was always a battle for 2-3 spots between 6 or so players up front.
