Canucks not done yet. I hope they add another Center. Also Baily is back. Plus some think the newly signed 2021 pick has a shot.

So that 4LRW slot has at least 4 guys gunning for it. Might be a Carousel situation between press box and Abby for them.

- NuckUp


Bailey is AHL bound i'd guess.
But yes, many people fighting for that 4th line winger slot.
And the 3rd line winger in my mock roster that Pod has been gifted.

Benning did kinda say on 650 today that this might be the final roster heading into camp, they seem pretty confident in JD as 3C

Zac Mac is the only fighter up front we have, would be a shame if he's not 13th forward at least.

He kicked Forbort's ass after the Hoglander incident

- Nucker101


yup.

Is Luke Schenn the enforcer on the back end then?
Here he is tuning up your boy Zadorov.

Terrible wrasslin match, it looks like Zadorov wants no part of that fight.
But at least Schenn is willing to drop the mits.

Podz will get his shot just like Hogs. Don't be shocked if he bumps Pearson out of top 6 or even gets a look with Petey. Everything is on the table.

If the young wingers are good enough they have options to play JTM at C. All has been mentioned by Canucks. So Camp will be very interesting in how they shape roster.

I think they might make a move during camp, when they realize that Juolevi and a forward won't make the team.
I think Jonah has a strong camp and pushes Zacmac out.

Both the Schenn bros are always willing to drop the gloves, but they do get their asses kicked usually lol. Hamonic will stand up for teammate as well, but having dmen fight is not ideal, risk of injury plus having them sit out for 5+ minutes is tough.

I'd like to have a fighter who can draw in on the 4th line for games against physical teams

Gadj works for me too, ideally one of him or Zac is on the main roster

Hamonic can fight. But you don't need enforcers just guys willing to drop them when needed.

Podz can fight too. JTM will throw them. You don't need to save a roster spot for a fighter.

Gadj and ZacMac should improve their skating. Plus only make roster if they outplay their competition.

All for that.
The more competition the merrier.

i'd rather not have Gadjovich in the press box though.

You guys think Highmore and Zack will be on the team

- VANTEL

Mac on the outside looking in.
Highmore can be beaten out.
1 could be the 13 F the other to Abby.

Give Georges Laraque a shout. He'd come out of retirement for Van and this way he can handle Wilson and Reaves when they are out there running around like idiots trying to hurt our players.

What a day!

Been busy at work and just refreshing the trade tracker occasionally.

Far out.


I'm liking the forward depth.
i like the Halak signing at 1.5m

Definitely got some RD now...just not sure about the quality.
Overall, the roster seems much improved.

JTM-EP40-Garland
Hoglander-Bo-Boeser
Pearson-JD-PodK
Motte-Sutter-Highmore
ZacMac

OEL - Myers
Hughes - Hamonic
Bone - Poolman
OJ-Schenn

Notes - I don't like the idea of 2 shrimps (Garland and Hogz) on the same line.
Nor the idea of 2 rookies (hogs/pods) on the same line.

If Podkolzin is overwhelmed and not ready for the NHL (which is a distinct possibility, despite us all pencilling him into a top 9 slot), you could go with a more traditional shut down 3rd line and limited 4th line.

I don't know anything about Poolman, but he's a big body. I like the idea of pmd on the left side and a big stay at home D on the right.

Just keep in mind that Halak is actually $3m not $1.5.

Still not a bad # for him, but the Canucks will likely be paying $3+m next year for two goalies who aren’t with the team anymore.

But they will most likely being paying less than this year. Dipietro will be on his ELC and the $3.3MM recapture penalty will be gone

I hear he isn’t a good skater…legit acceleration there. Hopefully Jimmy and the gang are on to something. If this kid hits let’s trade all our picks next year
