Need to get Lockwood to follow Quinn to Vancouver after this season. If he goes into his Senior year, it's just too big of a risk that he waits an extra couple months and signs with a major US team. Players need to move to the next level once they top out, and the AHL should be the next challenge for Lockwood.
He becomes eligible for the Seattle expansion draft if he plays a game for the Canucks this season.
As it stands now the protection list is just Bo, Brock, Elias, Virtanen and likely Gaudette up front. No one else has locked up a spot. Includes Dahlen.
2 spots open. I don’t envision Lockwood on the Canucks to start next season but he could work himself up to the big club over the season
See how management is able to play this. Ideally get him on an amateur tryout with the comets.
Like to keep those last 2 spots open for possible higher end guys either via trade or free agency.
