Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Meet Connor McDavid For First Time Tonight The Vancouver Canucks prospects kick off their Young Stars tournament against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night in Penticton, B.C.

I haven't been able to find any details from yesterday's Canucks practice in Penticton, but Codes1087 posted these line combos on yesterday's blog. Thanks for that!

Thanks for the mention Carol! And great write-up!

Dane fox....take Connor out ...your not likely to ever make an impact in the nhl so you must channel your inner Kassian and make a name for yourself

Former line-mates and good friends. This won't happen

Then it's up to Virtanen to get kicked out of the tourney. ..... kidding don't want anyone getting hurt or there.

Don't worry... opening faceoff, McDavid will suffer a brain anerysm and have to retire from hockey from carrying all that pressure and expectation to be the Oilers saviour.

That's a bit much.
How about wishing a bout of stress induced hemorrhoids on him instead?

Not likely to happen lol. It's too bad McDavid is coming up in the Bettman era however there will be no 'no touch Mcdavid' rules like there was for Gretzky...

Darkkkkkkkk

Nah, just it would be ironic and karma coming back to bite the Oilers on the arse if something happened to their first real 1OA can't-miss-no-matter-how-bad-Oiler-development-is prospect that made him unable to play a game for the Oilers (not that I'd wish something like that to any player of course).

I think some of Gretzky's teammates helped with the "no touch" rules

We have fun here

Bowman just gave away a lot of talent for cap space.

Versteeg, Nordstrom and a 3rd for a 5th, and two low level prospects.

Nordstrom alone I would of though would be worth a 2nd.

Quotes don't work again...

Belcher - Bowman can't really make a wrong trade as far as I am concerned. He is focused on Kruger so it makes sense.
