The author presumes that Canucks prospects should get more ice time simply because they're prospects.

Several people who watch the Comets play regularly say that Shink and Gaunce haven't played well enough to earn extra ice time. It wouldn't send the right message if they were given more minutes than they deserve or can handle.

I dont know about you guys but i think that Cole Cassels is going to be a beast for us. He has 46 points in 28 games! He is event that scrappy kind of guy that the canucks are looking for, with 65 PIM! he will stand up for his teammates.

Isn't everyone on Utica,.. Canucks' property. Contractually some may have waiver-issues but the majority are there learning to be proper Pros. If they sit or they play, it's based on performance & obedience to the coach's game plan. None of these prospects will likely enter the NHL imediately as top 6-forwards. They should learn to be humble & how to deal with a pecking order, that many have not faced before. The writer is missing the mark on how such things take time.
