sedinsassassins Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Does anyone know if the Canucks are going to practice during the lockout? They practiced at UBC for the past week or 2? Also, I wonder if any or which Canucks will be assigned to the Chicago Wolves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Kassian, Schroeder, Tanev, Ebbett have been assigned to Chicago... I doubt that they practise as a team during the lockout. Probably more of an extended summer for them. Also some players might sign in Europe somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 You can assume that top talent will sign elsewhere, that could include Schneider, Luongo, Edler, Sedins, and Kesler. For everyone else, they slot into a spot where most NHLer's are right now, that being they are skilled players but not great enough to get attention overseas. With the deductions of those to the AHL and those to destinations in Europe the practice squad may only consists of 15 players. I fully expect the Canucks to stay in game shape regardless.

Wheels22 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 ^^ Sedins and Kesler most likely to take time off to heal/rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck2379 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Ryan Kesler will probably be signing with the Chicago Wolves around February when he's fully 100% healed. The Sedins won't sign in Sweden because the teams want them for a full year. They'll probably sign in the KHL if they want to play now or they'll wait until March and sign in Sweden when they can spend the rest of the year there.

Linden4everacanuck Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Kesler wont play because he is still injured and if he was to play he wouldnt get his salary as while he is injured he still collects his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deized_kanuck604 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The Sedins won't be going anywhere, both been taking a beating for years any they need the extra time! Kessler is injured and won't be back until January at the earliest, and he's another that could use all the time he can get! Kassian and ebbett and tanev most likely going to use this time to they're advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybarber Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Kesler can't go down to the Wolves as he would have to clear waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I believe players still have to clear waivers to go to the AHL? Which is why all the guys on ELC's with two way contracts (who are not subject to waivers) like Kassian were sent down in advance of the lockout. Them and guys who nobody believed would be claimed (Ebbett, Desbiens). Guys like Kesler, I believe (???) could be claimed by another team if he signed in the AHL... Newbie question...how come Kesler could sign with the Wolves?...Is it cos he's currently injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman60 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Well if you read Tony Gallagers stupid rant in the Province last week, the players might sit around trying to get 'out of shape' in retaliation for the lockout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
