Got a bit sick in my mouth when I read that. It's bad enough they're heavy favorites to win the CAN division (2.20).

As far as VAN goes I'll temper my expectations again this season.

There will be about 100 players going on waivers in an hour including Canucks.

I am just going to enjoy watching the games that are played. It is already a screwed up year.

I expect to be both surprised in a good way and disappointed in others. Like, I have zero expectation for Hoglander, but he could actually make an impact. I also have zero expectation for Sutter, and he will probably have zero impact... winky face

Never thought I would ever a) agree with you or b) understand your post on the first read.

Ok playoffs or no playoffs?

If they stay healthy and get good goaltending, I think they make the playoffs.

Hopefully they can just get this season in without too much disruption, finish early enough in summer for a proper off season and be ready to go in September for a more normal season

Gonna be a poop show for the waiver wire. Wonder if anyone is going to make claims?

I wouldn't mind VAN picking up Noah Juulsen if there was a way to fit him in.

Neither do I with any rookies, happy to be wrong though.

Unless someone crazy gets put on waivers, I think Van is fine riding their prospects.

Florida too Forsling yesterday. I think there is going to be more than the usual number of claims this year.

Didn't he have an eye injury a couple years ago?

The experts were expecting teams to make cuts super early to sneak guys down while other teams had full rosters, but that didn’t really happen. I don’t expect much movement based on travel restrictions etc.

Loui will probably be a NHL spot for the next few days but that could change once the season starts

His chance came & went. Develop our own.

I was reading last night that Keith Yandle was put on the B squad in Florida by Quenville. They want to give some younger defenders a chance.

34 years old with 3 years left at 6.35. Might be on waivers today.

One fan commented that "He's an absolute poop show defensively"

Yeah I have OJ Rathbone Rafferty Briesbois and Sautner higher than him . Forsling I would have looked at but would have left things .

Just saw this from Drance on the Athletic this morning.


"We’re looking at 100+ players that will be posted on the NHL waiver wire in about 90 minutes.

Few teams have made cuts to this point and anyone you want to re-assign to the AHL or Taxi Squad needs to hit waivers today. Could be the biggest waiver day in league history."

Forsling is old news & moving on.
