Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser
Pearson - Horvat - Miller
Baertschi - Gaudette - Virtanen
Leivo - Beagle - Sutter
Extra: Motte
Waived: Schaller, Eriksson
Is what I would do.
Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser
Pearson - Horvat - Miller
Beartschi - Gaudette - Sutter
Leivo - Beagle - Schaller
Virtanen - Eriksson
D and goalies are set won't bother. Goldy waived, showed very little in camp buh bye. Motte waived just cuz somebody else has to go. Eriksson and Virtanen were the least noticeably in camp for me and generally seem on the shortest leash so they sit. Gaudette stays as I think they are simply a better team with him than without.
Gaudette will NOT be waived. He played well and put up lots of points....it would look so bad if we waived him
Baertschi's past chemistey with Horvat and preseason chemistry with Gaudette will keep him on the roster.
Goldy and Schaller is good as gone.
Baer makes Goldy redundant
sorry, i meant to say he wont be sent down.He won't be waived...Gaudette doesn't require waivers which is why it's tempting for management to send him down to start the season since we have a million other forwards that need waivers.
Not sure but think its better to put Virtanen with Gaudette rather that baertschi play on both the 2nd and 3rd lines. Just being a jerk, I assume you meant Pearson on one of the lines.
Don't think Green trust Gaudette as a third line center.

The defence is uncomplicated.
I know Antoine R. is injured and doesn’t count for now. I kept 14 forwards. I guess I say bye to Eriksson. Anyone else I’m not thinking of who should be on the team?
My opinion..but I would prefer Sutter on a line with Baertschi/Gaudette..Even though Gaudette/Baertschi had a few cool moments in the pre-season..In the regular season I could see that duo conceding goals on a regular basis (and you're talking about risk)..It doesn't hurt to have a player experienced in playing a shutdown role on that line.Not having the Baertschi-Gaudette 3rd line be a thing within the first ten games in favor of a Sutter line is a realllyyy risky decision when your jobs are on the line and the team is a fringe playoff team at best.
Every point matters.
Just about every radio head; beat writer and Canuck blogger has consigned Goldobin to the AHL, the KHL or even the hockey gulag. The sad fact is that after Boeser and maybe J.T. Miller, he might be the most talented winger the Canucks have.IR = Roussel Fantenberg
Waived = Schaller Goldobin
assigned = Brisebois
I would waive Eriksson and keep Goldy for now.

That still might not save him tomorrow.....but there's a few players including Eriksson, Schaller and Virtanen who should be gonged before Goldy.
What a dire situation. Schaller, Eriksson, Sutter, Pearson, Beagle and Motte should all be waived, but there is somehow no youth to take their places. Ugh.
Their 19-20 salaries total exactly 20 M.What a dire situation. Schaller, Eriksson, Sutter, Pearson, Beagle and Motte should all be waived, but there is somehow no youth to take their places. Ugh.
