I was told that I was dying on a hill arguing that Brandon Sutter is an effective player when he's healthy. Here's to hoping this is the beginning to a solid, injury free season for Brandon. #Canucks

1. fire green
2. trade sutter
3. play QH pp1

When Roussell and Motte are back, who is going to be out?

Motte can fill in for Schaller any damn day.

In the longer term, this team is never fully healthy.
By the time Roussel is back, someone will already be out.

i would expect a rotation based on who's playing well. i think schaller sits and the other candidates are guadette, louie e. and virtanen.

there may be another player or two that could sit a game or two to nurse injuries.

I feel what you are saying, so LE goes to waivers to allow Motte back onto the roster.

By end of Nov, someone else will be on the LTIR (hopefully the (frank) not)

Schaller hit a cross bar last night.

i pretty much said the same thing.

Seems as if they are keeping 14 forwards. Will probably allow a lot of time for Baertschi to practice in Utica.

i think that they want baertschi to play a decent amount of games in utica 15ish to show that he's completely over the concussion issues (though can someone ever be totally over them?)

i don't see them bringing him up unless a top 6er gets hurt for an extended time. seems like they have a few "utility" guys that they can plug in for a game or three.

Good competition is a good thing, possibly if there isn't any injuries and Baertschi does stay healthy and play well. Maybe he gets the Biega/Gagner treatment and is traded to get back into the NHL.

Sutter sure had a great game tonight, playoffs baby.

- manvanfan

if he's to be traded, i would guess that it wouldn't be until the latter half of the season.

i think it's more likely that he plays a substantial (10+) amount of games with the canucks before he is (if he is) traded.

...unless some team gets decimated by injuries in the top 6 and is forced to make a trade (unlikely but there's always the chance.)

Pittsburgh right now?

#Teamwhiner recruited Doughty last night. Strong play to add that whiner to the team.

- manvanfan

and even they don't need/want a player like baertschi. if anything they trade for a c/w type.

finding a team that needs a player like baertschi due to injury will be unlikely. i think a team would trade for him looking to shore up offense in the second half of the season going into the playoffs.

#teamkneepad really comes out in force after a win, huh?

and they were the ones who kept saying loudly that the complaints would be fast and furious after the first 2 losses. that didn't happen but the gloating after a win (over a consensus lousy team) is hilarious... but not unpredicted.
