I'd like to see them continue getting time together to gel. One of Willie's bigger headscratchers was uniting them last preseason, watching them dominate a game, and then stubbornly refusing to put them back together for months.

Agreed. I also think that they are a good stylistic fit given their individual skills and deficiencies. I'd love to see them get a good 20-30 games of consistently being together (barring them being absolutely horrid or something) before moving on. Chemistry takes time and it frustrates me to see Willie flip Jake around all over the line up rather than give him a consistent role with consistent line mates.

Is this gonna be an annual affair? The annual mystery game in San Jose?
Where the highly anticipated potential second line pairing of Kassian-Bonino was apparently tried once and never again!
Watch Virtanen come back from the trip and be like "I have no idea why I've been sent to Hitmen instead of Utica."

Years from now, when TV specials are made about the record-breaking Chaput-Ruutu duo, we'll all remember that this is where it began.

ha ha.. forgot about that... Markstrom plays the mystery game... management's like, "better get him down before the league sees him play"...

one of my favourite moves to date. While other teams goalies are still healthy, get him through.

Sharks have posted a probable roster for tomorrow (with 3 forthcoming scratches) but for the Sharks it's basically a B team given all the big guns are at the WCH.
I'm not even going to hazard a guess at the forward lines, as there are like 6 guys who have mostly been playing center in camp so far and I could only potentially assemble 2 lines out of yesterday's intrasquad scrimmage. But if I were guessing on the d-pairs and goalies:
Brenden Dillon - David Schlemko
Mirco Mueller - Dylan DeMelo
Joakim Ryan - Jeremy Roy
Jacob Middleton (scratch?)
Mantas Armalis
Troy Grosenick
I doubt any of you will care to pay too much attention to the Sharks players when you can watch your guys, but the interesting names are Goldobin (most skilled offensive player in SJ's prospect pool and on this roster), Labanc (undersized, but led the OHL in scoring last year), Sorensen (in the running for the last regular lineup spot on the team this year. High energy checking-line player with some offensive pop), Roy (2015 2nd rounder, skilled all-around d-man), and Armalis (Lithuanian-born, Swedish-trained goalie battling for the backup job to Martin Jones. And he's also a model part time. Yes, seriously.)

No doubt about it, I am ready to get hurt again
Problem is Willie is on the hot seat and October is the best part of the Canucks schedule. If they have a losing record by the start of December then they're done (season schedule only gets tougher after Christmas, they have a good October and December)

My take on this lineup? It is one line you will see in Vancouver that WD hopefully keeps together:
Sven/Bo/Jake
Gaunce/Megna/Grenier could be Utica's first line.
?/Chaput/Rendulic 2/3s of the 2nd line.
?/Hamilton/Bancks 2/3s of Utica's 4th line.
Sheppard and Ruutu, PTOs, make the Canucks or get released when the Swedes are ready to play.
As to the D and keepers:
Sautner/Subban
This pair is in Utica.
Pedan/Billins
This is a very possible Utica pair.
The other two are Canucks, Tryamkin and Larsen.
Bachman will share the Utica net with Demko.
Garteig will be an Alaska Ace and hopefully be #1.
In short, this a preseason game for one Canucks' line. Other than that, it's a Utica Comets' preseason game missing: LaBate/CasselsCarcone (Utica 3rd line.)
