Fateless Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Strange since we've already got Virtanen sitting in the pressbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Does that mean a trade is looming for the Canucks? Sutter is also close to returning, which would mean another player sitting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help but wonder if Prust is gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It might be for McCann. They don't want McCann to play every game to not wear him down. He might just be called up to allow them to keep McCann on his schedule and not have him be forced to play when he wasn't supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make sense to replace McCann for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wishful thinking. Just answering "ya think" to the trade rumors starting; nothing concrete. Mike Z doesn't seem like a swap in for Prust, he would be more for Cracknell than anyone else. Now...if it was Darren Archibald, that MIGHT be more a swap in for Prust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, k, didn't know that. I knew he was a natural LW. Guess they did the opposite of Gaunce and turned him into a C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Zalewski's name reminds me of Zarley Zalapski. I'd bet Prust has secretly asked for a trade. He's in UFA year, he was supposed to be benched last game and forced WD to put him back in the lineup. THis call up might not have anything to do with Prust but he's as good as gone. Prust for a 5th?
