SuperReverb2 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 How is this possible? I thought it was the Canucks or Junior? Confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 No, he was assigned to Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounoush Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 How long are conditioning stints allowed to be? 2? 3 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 How long are conditioning stints allowed to be? 2? 3 games?2 weeks. As many games that are in that schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2009cupchamps Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 How long are conditioning stints allowed to be? 2? 3 games? 2 weeks. I believe the comits play 6 games in that span, and no those games do not count against his 9 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Good decision. Benning said he will get his 9 games here to show his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpluto96 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 This is a good scenario, playing the first pro games in the AHL rather than straight into the NHL and see how he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yeah this actually might have been the best way this could have played out. 6 games in the AHL to get adjusted, and by then he'll be a bit more ready for his tryout with the 'Nucks.

JeremyCuddles Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Wasn't Drouin sent down for Tampa too? Good to see how he fairs in Utica, and get game ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homersexual Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think I heard the coach say he will be down for 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I like the move to get some pro starts (he should really be eligible for AHL action because he's seen everything he can in junior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 love to see him get his 6 games in Utica (full sched) and then his free 9 in the NHL before/if they send him down. That kind of serious look see will do wonders for both him and Benning/WD to see what they've got ahead of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 ^Wouldn't even mind if they kept him for those 15, then lent him for the Wjr's.. Plan on him for full-time after the mid-season. Then we can fully evaluate which depth-vet(or two) we can sell off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 2 weeks. I believe the comits play 6 games in that span, and no those games do not count against his 9 games. If he gets 6 AHL games in before his 9 games in van, that is the best possible outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I thought he was only going down for a week and playing 3 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yeah this actually might have been the best way this could have played out. 6 games in the AHL to get adjusted, and by then he'll be a bit more ready for his tryout with the 'Nucks. Agreed. Blessing in disguise really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawkdrummer Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Positive move for Horvat and the Canucks. Major junior is not the place for him to develop further except perhaps the World Jrs. Personally if he wasn't playing for the Canucks this year I would of considered trying our MODO Sweden connections so he could at least play against men.
