Very important game for guys on the bubble :

Leivo, Goldolbin , Motte , Gaudette. 

 

Just like in crib where I HATE throwing cards away, I want to keep them all.

 

Not sure who'll stick...it's a nice position to be in.  To have multiple options.

Leivo is a points card  (top line)

Goldolbin and Gaudette need a good card cut

Motte is a good pegging card

Quote

The only waiver-exempt forwards on the prospective roster I’ve outlined are Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser. Obviously, they’re not getting sent down, but that means the 11 other forwards would have to clear waivers to go to the AHL. That includes players with top-six potential, like Nikolay Goldobin and Josh Leivo, along with bottom-six forwards like Brandon Sutter, Jay Beagle, and Loui Eriksson.

That means, for someone like Adam Gaudette, Tyler Motte, Zack MacEwen, or Tim Schaller to make the team, another player would have to be put on waivers. Motte and Schaller would also have to clear waivers — no matter what, the Canucks are going to have to put a bunch of players on waivers.  For players like Gaudette and MacEwen, that makes their battle to make the Canucks out of camp that much harder. Not only do they have to outperform roster players, they have to outperform them to such an extent that the Canucks are willing to lose those roster players.

Gaudette took a step forward on Thursday against the Oilers, getting several scoring chances before finally scoring the 6-1 goal. He celebrated with an over-exuberant fist-pump, but it's understandable: he needs to make a big impression to stick in the NHL out of camp.

It’s far more likely, however, that Gaudette will start the season in the AHL, even if he lights up the rest of the preseason. Because he's exempt from waivers, the Canucks don't need to worry about losing him and they will need depth when the inevitable injuries come; from an asset management standpoint, it just makes sense.

He's driving the net, goal light comes on
And he's making a play, he can't go wrong
He never waits too long
 
He's winding things up, with his hockey stick
And he won't give up 'cause he's number six
He's a frozen fire, came back right at the wire
 
We don't want to hold him down
We're glad he's back in town

When he says, "let's flow"...

Reluctantly crouched at the centre line
Hearts pumping and thumping in time
The red light flashes, the goals go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they carve through their turns
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern

 

Borrowed from Cake - The Distance. with a few changes!
