Carol Schram: Marc Crawford, Anders Nilsson return as Canucks open homestand vs. Senators With a 3-0-1 record in their last four games, the Vancouver Canucks will stick with the same lineup up front and Jacob Markstrom back in net as they try to play spoiler against Anders Nilsson and the Ottawa Senators, who are currently riding a two-game winning streak.

Ty Carol

Injuries are passed on to the Comets & no Demko seals their fate it appears.

Thanks Carol!!

I wonder when/if we'll get to see Teves play. I don't expect much but hey you never know

We waited about a month to long to sit pouliot otherwise we would have a couple more wins at least I figure, but then again we arn't ready for playoffs, the young guys to experience it ,would be nice though.

you know its weird, i went into her room this morning and she was playing with a ouija board. Weird thing is, we didn't have one before, and she also couldn't levitate before either. Damn you Freddie Mercury

So who see's action first, Hughes, Teves or Hutton?

I think we'd all like to see Hughes.
Sounds like Utica could use all the help they can get and would welcome the return of Saunter, Breeze and Schenn.

From 31 thoughts:

4. No extension talks yet between Vancouver and Jacob Markstrom, and I’m curious to see how long the Canucks wait. He’s got one year left at $3.6 million, and it is a good time to be a talented goalie with freedom in your future. Another expansion team thins out depth at the position, and if Mikko Koskinen is worth $4.5 million, what’s Markstrom’s number? He can’t officially be signed until July 1, but you can talk. If the Canucks are confident in his rise — and they know him better than anyone — they should go for it. The number rarely goes down.

5. I think Vancouver is going to look at finding a youngish defenceman, maybe somebody in his early to mid-20s. Troy Stecher’s in that range, and he’s made real good strides. Quinn Hughes is younger, Alexander Edler and Chris Tanev older. Think Brandon Montour, if not him specifically. Those players tend not to be inexpensive as trade pieces.

Ideally Hughes and Teves on Sunday against the Blue Jackets. Will see them live if that's the case.

Hmmmm. Sounds a bit like Derrick Pouliot.

Barring draft picks, Benning still doesn't really have any desirable assets to trade for a quality D-man in that age bracket. What are the odds he trades for another reclamation project?

Disturbingly high.

Unless Benning is willing to part with Goldobin, Virtanen, Baertschi, Sutter, Hutton or Tanev.
Not saying GM's will be tripping over themselves to get those players, but i still think they have some value.
Perhaps you could package a couple to land a younger D.

Anyone on your wishlist?
