Now that Devils claimed Dell, looks like they will keep 3 goalies on 23 man roster.

Is it just me or is anyone else looking forward to the Beagle Bailey combo?😁

This is the kind of season to try unconventional things. Maybe NJ flips him to EDM for a pick?

If Canucks are out of contention near deadline, Holtby might be worth a mint.

Then there's also JB's ability to execute.

Good point. He also might not have a goalie to expose.

I wrote the season off before it started as far as how it plays out . Even if Canucks have great success this year or fall flat. So many things different this year and so many things that can go wrong (CV19 , travel...). Enjoy the games one at a time.

I want the Canucks to play and develop their young players like Demko Hoglander OJ and Rathbone. Let them make their mistakes .

I think we will see lots of players get in games, some from the minors might even get a game or 2, provided they can get that deal with Manitoba Moose/Jets.

Yup, I have zero expectations this season. That said I've also been underwhelmed by the games to date.

It is too bad that coaches jobs and I guess the GMs job are on the line because it is a perfect year to take a good look at Lind Rafferty Lockwood Michaelis Hawyrluk Bailey and Graovac.

Lefty finally in years yesterday made a sensible post


Lots of rust , no preseason and game three only. We haven't even played a home game yet.

That's why I laugh at the Twitter drama. We'll have some kind of idea at 10-15 games.

I think that all the Canadian teams have not been sharp yet . Any team that steps up now and goes on a three week tear can take a big step . It really is up for grabs.

If the Canucks are out of it by the deadline it will be because Holtby is 💩...

A team could be so far out by the 15 game mark that they would have to go 30-11 the rest of the way. There’s really no margin for error

JTM in helps lines shape up. Lets see if that kicks it in gear to tear it up.

Sharing your homework or still trying to learn who the 1LC and 3LC is on the Canucks...

I think it will be really hard to go on long winning streaks this year.

Evgeny Kuznetsov on Podkolzin: I'm sure he will play in the first two lines. I now understand why he was drafted and what kind of player they see. Such players are very much appreciated in the NHL.
