Labate's agent reporting that he's been recalled from Utica....is Dorsett gone for awhile?....had a decent training camp....could be effective as a fourth-liner.

It is mind numbing they refuse to claim anyone. They have one of the worst AHL teams and NHL teams and plenty of room to add a couple of contracts. But no.
Labate had a good camp and seems like he's been playing okay but he's nowhere near the level of recently waived Griffiths and Pumpels.
Most likely it's just Benning looking at the whiteboard and saying "well these guys are skill guys but we don't have a skill guy injured so I'm just going to recall our own grit guy for the 4th line to replace a grit guy".
Or maybe he can't again differentiate things? Similar to when he didn't want to send Virtanen down because fans would get mad at him like they got with Stecher being sent down, he now thinks getting this sort of depth is bad because he has been getting heat for Etems, Veys and Granlunds. Possibly?

Saw this on the sidebar and got scared. Is this just Labate Blue or Labate Blue Light?
Can't we sign some vet players from somewhere out in Europe? Our AHL team has hit a new rock bottom.
Meh, I like that he at least has size for the energy guy role and likes to throw his weight around but he's a fringe nhl talent at best.
Maybe he is just an imbecile?
I keep shaking a recurring thought from my head because it sounds to tin foil to buy. It's almost like Jim is purposely keeping the Comets on life support so that Green doesn't look good. Therefore, WD is okay to keep around since the hyped heir in Utica ain't so much after all.
And as soon as someone comes back he's gone again. He definitely won't replace Dorsett when he's healthy.
Would someone please list exactly who is hurt in vancouver?
I know of:
Tanev - Injured, but not IR?
Larsen - IR
Rodin - IR, but not listed on the roster
Dorsett -IR
Hansen - IR
Megna? If still out LaBate's addition gives the Canucks 13 forwards. If he is healthy and Tanev is out, then he makes 14 forwards to go with 7 D. Legal number.
Is this the correct situation?

Although I do hope LaBate sticks around until December 3rd...
Altruist Jim Benning is just looking to make Gillis' draft record look better by getting one of his picks more NHL games. What a nice guy!!
What's December 3rd?
Thank you for writing this, this has been my conspiracy theory so far this year. Could you image the bad press they would be getting if Green continued his great winning resume while WD flounders in the nhl. The owners and linden probably dont want to have even more coaches on the payroll either but they made their bed already by meddling too much in hires already
Leafs @ Orcas
Whatever number he wears, I'm calling him 50.
BG, this is a great website to keep track of who is on the roster and who is on IR. Not counting the players on IR the Canucks are still at 13 forwards, 8 defensemen and 2 goalies.And as soon as someone comes back he's gone again. He definitely won't replace Dorsett when he's healthy.
