Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Classic Preview and better AHL TV this year The Vancouver Canucks are coming into Penticton with a deep and intriguing roster for the 2018 Young Stars Classic, and Canucks prospects will be easier to follow than ever thanks to an improved AHL TV livestreaming offering being introduced this season.

• Canucks director of player development Ryan Johnson on Dahlen's bumpy start to last season: "He came to Utica and played a couple of exhibition games and got completely humbled to the point where it was a hard conversation for me to have with him. He said: ‘I’m not ready for this.’ So we set up a plan.

I hope Ryan works his way into JB's spot. The guy is gold imo. Knows what it takes and has a plan.

@ thunda

Hopefully that's the "plan". Move Ryan Johnson up in a year or two to AGM, then transition when JB moves up to 'President/Chief Yes-Man' after that.


Thanks Carol!

Who’s plan? His or Trev’s?

I think Boeser should play with EP centered by Gaudette

Thanks Carol!

Any leads as to where we can view the games from the couch?

Thanks Carol!

Most true leaders have their own plan.

The 24-year-old’s expected primary points rate for last season had him producing at a first pairing rate, if only barely. A big reason for this is because of the drastic improvement in his transition game – Stecher ranking among the 94th percentile in the NHL for shots and shot assists generated from plays that began in the defensive or neutral zone(Trans/60).

One top pairing dman next year 👍

There is a massive influx of leadership about to hit the ice tomorrow. DiPietro could be the next NHL goalie to wear a C on his mask.

So Bob Hartley is coaching the team that Vans two prospects in Russia play for. They also just signed 6 ex nhl player. Mentorship.

Hm, funny. Ryan Biech includes Zhukenov as playing for HC Yurga in the VHL, but i do see him listed on the KHL roster. Maybe it’s a call up thing? Wonder if Berezin is Sergei’s kid.

Thanks Carol!

The more I read/watch OJ/Woo!/hughes and even brisbois the more I see very different but complimentary styles. Same with Lind/EP/BO/Boeser. I like that JB/Weis seem to be balanced in their approach. Next year I expect them to draft a forward with the top5 pick and another d in the 2nd or 3rd. With any luck we'll have an extra pick. Seriously considering attending the draft just for the experience of seeing the process first hand.

Disagree. Pretty rare to see a successful goalie at his size in the show. Can't think of any, frankly. Solid backup is what I see, but I hope he proves me wrong and you right. IMO no other position does size matter more (queue Sutter/balls comments)

He’s 6’ now and still growing, he’s not Arturs Irbe small. Not that I think he’s a sure bet to ever play in the NHL.

Saros in Nashville is even shorter than DP, but obviously he's just a backup. But Preds fans see him as their future starter.

Quick is only a bit taller than 6 feet.

But yeah, the list is short

(i refuse to apologize for that pun)

Odds favour a C so far & that’s good 👍
