Official Training Camp Roster Talk - Part II (The Final Stretch)

[Mofletz]

You gotta think that he is really hoping Virtanen, McCann and Hutton stick around this year. A lot of the guys are 30+ on this team and he probably wants someone who can play video games with or go clubbing with.

yeah he is going to miss Kassian.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Brendan Gaunce isn't listed on the team roster but I doubt that has to do with it

That's usually an early indication that he's cut. Hopefully this means they're making room for McCann and Virt to get 9 games.

 

[Hansen]

Well there we have it, Kenins and Gaunce

 

[arsmaster*]

Well there we have it, Kenins and Gaunce

Kenins makes sense. Gaunce earned more. Both will be back.

 

[Mofletz]

Brendan Gaunce isn't listed on the team roster but I doubt that has to do with it

you were correct.

nicely done.

Kenins, Gaunce sent down.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

So that's 25 players. 2 more cuts. Cracknell/Vey, Corrado/Biega.

edit: wait, is that 25 players or 27.

 

[NoShowWilly]

A lot opens up if Higgins is placed on LTIR. Other then some paperwork they can prolong the time before they make a move.

Sedin Sedin Vrbata
Baertschi Horvat Virtanen
Burrows Sutter Hansen
Prust Mccann Dorsett
Vey

Edler Tanev
Hamhuis Weber
Sbisa Hutton
Bartkowksi Corrado

Miller
Markstrom

 

[arsmaster*]

Just waive vey already.

 

[Roccosvan]

Brendan Gaunce isn't listed on the team roster but I doubt that has to do with it

wow good catch man! He and RK just announced to Utica.

 

[fancouver]

So that's 25 players. 2 more cuts. Cracknell/Vey, Corrado/Biega.

Pretty sure Cracknell is a shoe-in to get cut. We already have Prust and Dorsett who is plays that role.

On D, I think it's Biega. They wouldn't want to lose Corrado to waivers just yet.

So there you go, McCann, Virtanen and Hutton start the year with the Canucks. 3 rookies. Gonna be fresh line up.

press release says roster now at 26

They have 9 dmen and 15 forwards now.

pretty excited about the rookies!

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

Why the Heck is Vey with this team still,,use less

Well its a 23 man roster and that leaves us with 24...still have to waive Vey since Higgins is injured.

We've got 27 still here including higgy.

 

[MS]

Kenins needs to get his mojo back.

Looked overcoached and like he was trying not to make mistakes rather than just playing his game. Feel the coaching staff was way too hard on him last year when he made an occasional turnover when he was trying to make creative plays with the puck.

Gaunce deserved better. Ridiculous he wasn't given a look at center. Looked NHL ready. What a shame that junk like Prust and Vey have blocked him.

 

[Nuckles]

What a joke. Gaunce played well, and guys like Prust and Vey were useless.

 

[WTG]

He tweeted this right when they cut Gaunce and Kenins. That's pretty BM.

Or he's breaking that he is being sent down too. IDK.

 

[tc 23]

Called the Gaunce cut after he sat the previous game. Very disappointing.

Unfortunate preseason for Kenins too. I agree with MS in that it felt like Kenins was being overcoached. Hope he plays well in Utica and comes back flying like he did last season.

 

[kanucks25]

The right thing to do would be to waive Sbisa.

If he clears, we have some extra depth in the minors.

If he's claimed (which won't happen), we get that god awful contract off the books.


This would be the right decision, so Benning will never do it.

 

[WTG]

They listed Gaunce as a center....

Interesting.

Sbisa easily outplayed Weber and Corrado in the preseason imo. His contract is still an eye sore but he didn't play his way off the team.

 

[medhatcanuck]

Well its a 23 man roster and that leaves us with 24...still have to waive Vey since Higgins is injured.

We've got 27 still here including higgy.

Yeah there's a lot of numbers being thrown around.

26 players left, 23 man roster, including Higgins. So, 2 cuts remaining and someone as temporary shoe in for Higgins.

Cracknell, Biega likely cut.

Watch if McCann starts at wing. I think that infers he's the temp for higgy, or if he gets time in the centers they are giving him a legitimate shot. I'd be happy with either, they kept their word.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

So 3 more cuts assuming Higgins is on IR for 9 games. All three require waivers, so all 3 will probably be waived on the 3rd or 4th.

 

[kanucks25]

Sbisa easily outplayed Weber and Corrado in the preseason imo. His contract is still an eye sore but he didn't play his way off the team.

Corrado has been awful but he would have to be exposed to waivers.

I don't think Weber has been great but saying he's been worse than Sbisa is a stretch. Either way, we need Weber for the PP. Biega can fill Sbisa's role quite easily.
