Post-Game Talk: GM 49 | Vancouver Canucks defeat Columbus Blue Jackets | 5-2 | Pettersson(2), Hughes, Mikheyev, & Joshua

The most likely scenario is they are sending him down now because it's one of the least likely times for a player to be claimed and opens a roster spot if they can finalize a trade between now and the next game.

Now that I think about it I assume they just want to let him play games during the All Star break.

It probably also clears a few dollars in cap space to be running under for the next 10 days or so. Doesn't save any real money because he's on a one-way.

Yup - you're right. Forgot about that.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

same as the canucks really. awful defense (plus their hughes equivalent has missed 30 games) and no depth at forward

Which again mystifies the f*** out of me as to why Gaudreau would willingly go there, of all places.

I watched the Flames/CBJ game the other night (Flames won in OT) and CBJ didn't look bad at all..

You have to wonder at this point, where the Canucks players heads are at..?.....They quit on their last coach, quit on each other , are not making the playoffs.. and are now waiting for the inevitable ramifications of all those things.

Hopefully Delia starts tonight, at least it should make the game interesting.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Will we lose Pederson for nothing? Why did they practice him on the first line then waive him lol

The only thing this player has contributed is needless penalties 200ft from his own goal.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Delia willl freakin snap off tonight yall! WIN. HORVY & MILLER TOO BTW. THEY HEAVY. AND ON THE GRIND.

I want Jones to start. He's been the unsung hero for the tank.

The Pederson part of Tocchet's interview this morning was pretty funny. They asked him why he was on the line with EP and he basically said "someone told me he played well there a couple weeks ago or something".

Not sure I've seen an answer like that before from a coach, albeit I get it given the situation.

 

[canuckking1]

Martin?

Yeah, that was a gaffe on my part

Can't look Real Gud directly in the eye.

If you do, you will be compelled to give him all your money.

 

[Sedinery]

Not much of a stretch, but lose this game

Key tank game

 

[Canuckle1970]

Goals, goals, goals.

Kuz, Petey, Bo - maybe for the last time. Win or lose, score some goals before we say sayonara for the next few days.

It seems like he's a guy who didn't like the limelight and picked Columbus because it was a nice, quiet city with a state-of-the-art medical facility where his wife would be happy to work.

 

[Love]

Lose this one for Bo
