There isnt going to be room for Bourdon/Edler/Hansen to play next year

There will be injuries and call-ups. When travelling it is normal to carry an extra defenseman or, occasionally, forward.

Rakhshani, Mark Arcobello (undrafted), Aaron Palushaj (STL), Tyler Ruegsegger (TOR) and Patrick White (VAN) were among the forwards that may have step up a little bit more than the rest of the group.

So... is that supposed to mean that these 5 guys have looked better than the rest or that they need to step up their game? The wording seems a bit confusing to me.

They have stepped up their game(it means they are playing good).

Yeah thats what I figured.

Good for White, hopefully he makes the team. With O'Brien leaving UMN White should have a much better chance at making an impact as a freshman. The whole situation with O'Brien seems a bit weird thought, because from what I've been reading he asked the coaching staff at the end of last season if he could switch back to playing D. I'm thinking this may have been the reason why the Senators wanted to make a move and get him into the CHL. Playing time may not have been the real issue, I'm sure the Sens just wanted O'Brien to play Center.

And the fans over at UMN seem to be really excited about White playing next season. The few that have seen him play call him a "true center" and that they love his intensity. At least we don't have to worry about this guy being conservative and lazy. If he doesnt turn out to be the sniper down the road at least he has the passion and drive to become a solid 3rd or 4th liner.

Hockeys Future has this info on their site. Interesting item in weaknesses, ENIGMATIC=means unknown, mysterious. Which really means- HF hasnt or doesnt want to do the work to find out about theses guys. So now we know HF doesnt like to backcheck-lazy!!!!!!! As well they could maybe spell check their site, can you say credibility.

Organizational Depth Chart

Team Strenghts:
1 Strong between the pipes
2 High quantity of 3rd and 4th line forwards
3 Good depth of two-way defensemen

Team Weaknesses:
1 Not a lot of NHL ready prospects
2 Lack of forward prospects with top end skill
3 Many enigmatic prospects in system

Found this tidbit about Kablukov on HF. It's pretty cool how we get to see him play 8 times. At least this way we know that he actually exists and Delnorme didnt just make him up so we could waste another late rounder on some crazy Russian.

Quote

Do not expect much offensively from the rest of the team, though the main reason Kablukov is present is for young center's face-off skills and two-way abilities. The Vancouver Canucks prospect will provide Russia that hard-working element and a player who can be used in most situations - whether it is shorthanded or on the power play. He has impressed at both ends of the ice and it is his defensive game that will keep him on the roster.

Canuck pick makes leap

Schneider to fight for Moose net time
By KEN WIEBE -- Sun Media





Cory Schneider is bracing himself for a long, cold winter.

The Vancouver Canucks 2004 first round draft pick signed an entry-level contract yesterday and fully expects to begin his professional career in the American Hockey League with the Manitoba Moose.

"Yeah, I've heard some bad stories, but it can get pretty cold in Boston, so hopefully, I'm prepared somewhat," Schneider told reporters in Vancouver yesterday.

Schneider, who led Boston College to the Frozen Four championship game in each of the past two seasons, felt it was time to take the next step and believed another year of college might hamper his development.

"I was ready to face a bigger challenge," said Schneider, who opted to forego his final season of eligibility. "Wheverever they send me, I'll be excited to go. I feel like I need some time in Manitoba to prepare myself and get ready."

Obviously, the goal for Schneider is to eventually play in the NHL. How long it takes for him to get there is anyone's guess.

And getting a solid share of the workload with the Moose will help him more than watching Roberto Luongo play the bulk of the games for the Canucks.

"You can't argue, Luongo is probably the best goalie in the league right now," said Schneider, who was studying business and finance at Boston College. "It's kind of up to me, with how I play and what the organization thinks of me and when they think I'm ready, so it's hard to put a time (table) on it. I try not to worry about that, it was more important to get into the organization and start developing and playing at the next level.

"I understand it's not going to happen overnight or be a quick fix. It's going to be sacrifice and development. I'm not here to rush it, make a mistake by coming too soon so I'm willing to do whatever it takes -- however long it takes to get there."

Speaking of goalies, the Canucks signed former St. Louis Blues netminder Curtis Sanford yesterday and he is expected to serve as Luongo's backup.

That means Drew MacIntyre, who has yet to sign his qualifying offer, could battle Sanford for the No. 2 job but will more than likely share the crease with Schneider this season.

It also signals the end of the Wade Flaherty era.

Flaherty said yesterday he's had some nibbles on the open market but nothing concrete as of yet.

The Canucks were busy yesterday, officially announcing the signing of forwards Jason Jaffray, Brad Moran and Greg Classen and inking forwards Brad Isbister and Byron Ritchie to contracts.
