Nuxfanabroad Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Agree to patience with the kids. Keep our depth, & let 1 or 2 vets rebuild their value, possibly for a mid/early season trade-package, if we can obtain what we need(namely a strong RHD). Still believe in our boys; last yr was an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Surprised anyone believed Benning that he would make room if the kids played good enough. GMs lie, Benning is no different. Jensen showed he belongs, should be on the team, Shinkaruk did too. Not that the AHL will hurt Shinkaruk, but I don't see how sending Jensen there again helps him in any way. While I don't agree with the cut, Jensen is yet to play consistently in either league. He still has a lot he can learn at the AHL level. I think he is set and primed to go down and show he is the best one out there. Score a bunch of goals. Consistently. Then come up and do the same. Let's be honest. We have a but load of plugs on our team. He will outshine atleast one of them this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsett is a very serviceable 4th line RW, where Matthias has looked pretty great at center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 ROFL. So much for making room for rookies. Linden Vey and Bo Horvat aren't rookies? Jensen is better served playing 18+ minutes in the AHL learning to play more consistently than being shuffled in and out of the ineup playing 10 -12 minutes a game.

TheFastOne21 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I am sad Jensen got cut but agree that him getting 20 minutes a night and a top line roll with Shinkaruk is best. He develops chemistry with Shinkaruk and consistency in his game getting more minutes. First call up when we inevitably need him this season.

apollo Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Honestly I think both hunter and jensen have out performed bo do far. But both those guys are eligible for Utica so it makes more sense to let them play there for a while until bo does his 9 game audition. We'll definitely see more of hunter and jensen as the year goes on. Frankie will most likely be sent down as well since there is no point in waiving Weber. My bet is by seasons end Jensen will have more of an impact than bo. Which makes sense because he's older and more mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 ROFL. So much for making room for rookies. The stated direction was to get younger and make room for rookies if it made sense for them to be in the lineup. As it sits right now, Vey (Rookie) and Horvat (Rookie) are both likely on this team. Jensen, Shinkaruk, Gaunce and Corrado will be the go to guys for injury replacements, which gives them a nice, easy way to adapt to the NHL and ease into full play. This team is younger and faster than last years group. I'd say they have accomplished what they set out to do! Now, we'll see how they respond. If its not positive, I can guarantee that Linden and Benning won't be overly patient when it comes to making more moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Does anyone know who is still on the camp roster for Utica? Was on the Utica site and I can see who got cut today, but can't find a reference to who is still in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Jensen... really? We just made room for Sestito. Who has been consistently the worst player on the ice in every preseason game he's played. Yeah, really improved the team with this move...... do you want jensen to get 6, maybe 7 mins a game, or 18-20 mins a game on a top scoring line?

Who has been consistently the worst player on the ice in every preseason game he's played. Yeah, really improved the team with this move...... C'mon now. Sestito and Jensen fill two completely different spots on a roster. I would much rather the organization keep Sestito up as a 13th forward than let Jensen waste in the press box. He's better suited getting big minutes with the Utica organization than possibly being a scratch here. ROFL. So much for making room for rookies. Jensen played okay in the pre-season, but he did nothing to force the organizations hand to keep him on the roster for the season opener. The luxury with Jensen is that if he rips it up with Utica, and we're struggling, he can be brought up. I wouldn't say that anything about his pre-season performance earned him a spot over any of the veterans. That being said, Vey is on the roster and we don't know if Horvat will stay up yet. That's two real young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Well there it is! Bo makes the opening night roster if healthy. Let's see if he can convince the Canuck brass to keep him for the full year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New coaching staff, that isn't going to bust the *alls of the top six forwards, and the top four D. No more emphasis on blocking shots first, D first, and dump and chase first. If everyone stays relatively healthy this team is far better than same ol, same ol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooner91 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My guess on opening night roster is something like this. Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata Burrows-Bonino-Kassian Higgins-Horvat-Vey Matthias-Richardson-Dorsett Sestito Hamhuis-Bieksa Edler-Tanev Stanton-Sbisa Weber Miller Lack Corrado, Shinkaruk, and Jensen as first callups for injuries.
