Rey Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Let's not jump to conclusions, McCann still hasn't faced multiple full NHL rosters without rookies filling in all over. He's very undersized still and Vey has bulked up and has nice heady playmaking upside, if Vey gets the spot, so be it, we can trade him or send him to the Comets if we have to now or down the road. The biggest "WTF" post i've seen all pre-season. McCaan and the kids played against the Shark's full NHL roster just a few pre-season games ago and McCaan out muscled Brent Burns several of times. Vey on the other hand, has never showed that he's willing to play a more physical game. I've never seen this guy even touch another player unless he's getting stripped of the puck or getting hit.

C.Schneider Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Benning said McCann will play the remainder of the preseason, so I dubt he gets cut tmrw. I doubt he gets cut at all tbh He'll place Vey on the Sedins Wing and McCann in 4th line duty with Prust and Dorsett... then cut McCann stating Vey outplayed him.

coolboarder Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I personally feel that Vey should be waived and I also think that no team will claim Vey because majority of the teams roster are set and no team will want to risk Vey on the roster. If he is claimed and later in the season, if they do not like Vey, and tries to send him down, the Canucks will have the first chance of claiming him back. Once he is cleared, he can be very good for Utica and be the first call-up if McCann is sent down after 9 games. If McCann get his 9-game stint and if he can prove it that he is worthy on being the team, he should stick on the team and if he falters, and he can be sent down and it won't hurt McCann's development on the junior. I personally feel that McCann deserved a spot on the team due to his pre-season play and who cares about keeping Vey if McCann is outshining Vey. Center are the Canucks position of strength with or without Vey and McCann already. If Vey is lost by the waiver and McCann needs more seasoning, then call up Cracknell as I liked him with the 4th line with Dorsett and Prust.

I've never seen this guy even touch another player unless he's getting stripped of the puck or getting hit. How can he? He is too busy face planting the ice whenever there is any player near him.

Honky Cat Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 According to Dan Murphys Twitter (I don't have the link)...he seems to think it will be McCann going back to junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 According to Dan Murphys Twitter (I don't have the link)...he seems to think it will be McCann going back to junior. It's been posted already but Benning has said yesterday, that McCaan would get at least 2 more pre-season games so he might not just be cut yet. Dan Murphy is never reliable.

canucksnhl Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Baertschi, Virtanen, and McCann have all earned a spot. Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata -Magic. Virtanen-Horvat-Baertschi - Absolutely clicked! Hansen-Sutter-Burrows - Experienced 200 ft. fore-checking line. Gaunce/Kenins-McCann-Dorsett - Gaunce/Kenins and Dorsett make space for McCann in the slot. Higgins (IR) Prust - Pretty boy Kenins/Gaunce - They fight for that last spot Vey(First call-up) - He would do well in the AHL Edler-Tanev - Awesome chemistry Hamhuis-Weber - Defensively responsible plus bomb from the pointBartowski-Sbisa - Good puck-movers Hutton - Odds are someone will get injured Corrado(First call-up) - Hasn't progressed much Markstrom/Miller (50/50 split) - Ride the hot goalie but I'd prefer they split duty to prevent Miller from injury and because Markstrom looks good! 5/5 Star Rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats good..I'd like McCann to stay...The only problem is there's a real crowd at the centre position,and that would most likely be the reason he would be sent down..IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Schneider Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 he did say "people aren't going to be happy" As in, people will not be happy about the cuts. Not about his post. I'm just pointing out his post is hilarious. On a side note, I'll personally plan the parade if Linden Vey gets cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveEmTheCan Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'd love it if: McCann, Gaunce, Hutton, and Virtanen all make the opening night roster and get their 9 game looks. Hansen is traded for a third round pick Kenins is sent to Utica and serves as first call up Kid line is penciled in to the line up Horvat is the second line Center Vey decides he wants to be a firefighter and promptly retires from hockey. Sedin - Sedin - Vrbatman Baertschi - Godvat - Virtanen Burrows - McCann - Sutteriguess Gaunce - Brandon "do you even Center, bro?" Prust - Dorsett The kid line showing immediate chemistry really opens up the line up to new possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Based on play McCann should be on this team come opening night. Not sure what will happen but based Benning's comments a vet should be moved for McCann. Assuming it comes down to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Schneider Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hansen is traded for a third round pick This has to stop... What is this non-sense of Hansen trade? You don't get players like Hansen for $2.5 Million these days. Tireless worker, shows up every night, forechecks like a demon, hits, is fast, PKs, great teammate, and chips in offensively. I understand all the nostalgic $&!# attached to Burrows by many fans in Vancouver... but I'd rather trade Burrows over Hansen at this point. Hansen is as good as a bottom 6 player gets. That is how valuable Hansen is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team is better off putting Hutton down temporarily rather than risk losing an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
