With Loui Eriksson returning from injury, the Canucks now have 14 healthy forwards on their roster. Who will play and who will sit? And what do your ideal lines look like?
On June 30, 2013, Gary Bettman stunned hockey fans when he announced that the New Jersey Devils had traded their 9th overall pick in the NHL entry draft (being held in New Jersey) to the Vancouver Canucks for goaltender Cory Schneider.
The Canucks lost to the visiting Dallas Stars 2-1 in a very entertaining contest last night. Except for the power play goal against, the Canucks did a good job of keeping the big line of Seguin-Benn-Radulov in check.
The Canucks resume their 5-game homestand tonight as they host the Dallas Stars and their vaunted power play. Brock Boeser is out, Jayson Megna draws in. And I preach some moderation.
The Canucks kick off a 5-game homestand by hosting Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals tonight. Let's hope it goes better than their first homestand.

The Sedins currently sit in the bottom half of the team in average ice time. We knew they'd be phased out this year...but not this quickly. And a quick word about David Booth.
Anders Nilsson stopped all 32 shots he faced last night in a 3-0 win over the Ottawa Senators. As well, the Canucks debuted a new look power play and it paid instant dividends.
It looks like Andrers Nilsson will make his season debut for the Canucks tonight. Meanwhile, Erik Karlsson will be playing for the first time this season for the Ottawa Senators.
Travis Green shuffled his forward lines at practice today, putting Granlund between the Sedins, Burmistrov between Baertschi and Boeser, and Horvat between Gagner and Vanek. Also, the Canucks signed 2017 2nd round draft pick Jonah Gadjovich to a 3-year entry level contract. And I say goodbye to a dear friend.
