Thank god.
I understand bringing him up for a number of logistical reasons but Linus should never have been given minutes with the big boys.

I guess this means the days of scratching Kuzmenko are at an end. With Di Giuseppe on LTIR and Karlsson dispatched to Abbotsford, the Canucks have no extra bodies on the forward line.
Still think there's some kind of trade coming.......In fact Elliot Friedman is predicting that the Canucks will be one of the teams to watch as we more inexorably closer to the TDL.

Yes.. these are the little boring things managers have to do.. blank days to help a guy out / put a guy back
If they call anyone up probably wont be until like 3 on thursday.. 2 depending on traffic

I wonder if they cooking Bains a bit longer, he's the more obvious 1st call.
You want an answer with this team?
But seriously .. if a player doesnt play for x amount of games or days (i dont recall specifics) they qualify for a conditioning stint
They're back at home, so if they need another body call-ups are easy. Gets Friedman in some games. Standard stuff.
Friedman was injured and then we acquired Zadorov so he was probably healthy for a bit now but we got on the road trip and we needed bodies so that's why he was here so long without playing. I bet that we see him down the line and in the playoffs - good depth.
Still can't see why Karlsson was called up at all. Maybe that made some promise to get him signed. He is far from the best player in Abby. Don't think he'll be back next season. Probably play decently in the SHL.
Friedman should help Abby. Brisebois would as well and wonder about his status. Looks like he might be the same boat as Poolman with a head injury. But that's pretty much a guess.

Ok, what am I missing? Isn't having no spare forward enough reason to call up a forward? Right now PDG is still on the injured list and with Karlsson sent down there is no spare forward on the roster. That can work short term if both the NHL and AHL Canucks are at home, but would be an unnecessary risk when either team is on the road and the NHL Canucks just finished a grueling road trip.
I'm guessing that before either Canucks team goes back out on the road we see something happen to give the team a spare forward, either PDG coming off IR, another callup or an acquisition.
friedman the forgotten man. played pretty decent before zadorov was aquired. paired alongside cole. soucy was out during that time as well.

Karlsson leads Abbotsford in scoring but has played just four NHL games with the Canucks. Is there any NHL potential or is his ceiling that of an NHL/AHL tweener or top SHL scorer?
He doesn’t have great wheels.
It seems like the coaching staff trusts him out there to not be a liability, but unless he can provide something on the PK, it seems like he’d be a real long shot to be an NHL staple in the bottom 6.
More of a call up option than anything else. He’s a pretty smart player, who is good along the boards, and has decent offensive instincts as well, but his lack of foot speed probably holds him back from being a full time NHL’er.
