But Jordan Schroeder? Well, he's still got lots to prove.

This is a big year for Schroeder and it hasn't started particularly well. Vancouver's first-round pick in 2009, when he was selected 22nd overall, Schroeder has just one point in the Chicago Wolves' first five games of the AHL season. In two games against the Abbotsford Heat this past weekend, Schroeder showed flashes. But there was no bottom line.

"You can see Jordan's skill come when he gets a little bit of ice," said Canuck general manager Mike Gillis. "He has to still continue to learn to play in traffic and use his quickness and shiftiness to his advantage."

Given centre Ryan Kesler's injury, Schroeder was expected to challenge for at least a temporary job at Canuck camp. And Gillis said that still may happen. "Depending on when we get started, with the injuries that we have he's going to get an opportunity to show what he can do," he said.

But first Schroeder must start producing consistently at the AHL level. Some of the other Canuck prospects showed better than Schroeder this past weekend.
