Carol Schram: Looking at Vancouver Canucks lineup options with a competitive camp ahead Expect to see some battles for roster spots at training camp as the Vancouver Canucks hope to use healthy competition as a tool to help improve their team.

great article carol!
Rodin.....really? Does management really expect this guy to ever make the NHL? Let alone be a competitive top 6 forward, I don't buy it. I can see Boeser/Burakovsky/Granlund taking that role, not a Rodin fan (have yet to see him play a game)

I know we've been talking a lot about this coming training camp. I am looking forward to it. But in reality I don't think there are many roster spots open. Based on contract structures it seems to be the roster is rather predictable.

Baertschi
Boeser
Burmistrov
Dorsett
Eriksson
Gagner
Goldobin
Granlund
Horvat
Megna
Rodin
Sedin
Sedin
Sutter
Gaunce

Biega
Del Zotto
Edler
Gudbranson
Hutton
Stecher
Tanev
Wiercioch

Markstrom
Nilsson

Seems predictable to me.

That's 25 players. Which two are you cutting for opening night?

If all of them are healthy for opening night then I would say...

Forwards - Megna, Gaunce, Rodin

Dmen - Biega, Wiercioch,

But which players are you sending to Utica? Total roster is 23 players including the goalies. You need to make two cuts.

Correct. No use wasting any spunk on this group.

Take your pick.

If you cut any of the Megna, Gaunce, Rodin, Biega, or Wiercioch for a 23 man roster on opening night Management doesn't have to worry about losing them. If any of these players go on waivers I seriously doubt any of them get claimed and if they do who gives a (frank). Scraps and fringe players anyway.

Depth means quality, not quantity!

Biega/Megna :D

Just stumbled upon this:

"Today a church is not only a dwelling or building, but also something much more fluid. Sometimes the church is a rink, locker room, hotel lobby or an encounter that takes place on the ice."

Like Botches opening roster better! There's no way Brock doesn't start!

Great work Dad

Organized religion is so desperate.

Lineup predictions in July

Thanks Carol just curious, does anyone else think Gaunce would be a nice fit on the first line w the Sedins?

I keep wondering about Rodin. Would love to see him healthy and see if he has anything to offer.

(not necessarily first line, but anywhere in the lineup.)

you will all get off Sven Baertschi's train within the first month. Dude is a bum.

Sedin should officially hand over the C at the first home game
