elvis15 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 He's injured. Sounds like it's worse than Desjardins first let on. Corrado and Bieksa both practising today. Not sure if they make tomorrow's opener, but the weekend seems like a real possibility. Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks 1h Players out for morning skate in @RogersArena before departing to Calgary. Frank Corrado & Kevin Bieksa are on the ice. #Canucks Desjardins: Bieksa will be a game time decision tomorrow. #Canucks @frankcorrado22 after skating back with the full group this morning: "It's a good step, I'm getting close."

zombieksa Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Too bad the Leddy and Boychuck prices were so high. I've said it a dozen times. We need to sign Derek Morris. Just for insurance purposes. The guy played top 4 minutes last season and didn't even get a PTO this year. Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy played top 4 minutes last season and didn't even get a PTO this year. Makes no sense. Yeah, really surprised he is still available and no team has approached him. Here are some other interesting names (defencemen) that are still out there: Joni Pitkanen Ed Jovanovski Sami Salo Henrik Tallinder Cory Sarich Ryan Whitney Joe Corvo Carlo Colaiacovo Mostly players that are in their mid-late 30's and are no longer in their prime. But could still be a good addition for a top six defenceman if there are injuries on the blueline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he's always good for some LTIR time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Haven't seen anything on Twitter and no other announcements about cuts. Do we assume that Horvat made the opening roster? Although, on canucks.com for Roster, they list 8 defense with Corrado and no sign of Horvat on forwards. I guess we'll hear soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieksa Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Pitkanen too, last I heard he couldn't even put his foot in a skate yet. Yeah. What I find weird about Derek Morris' situation is there hasn't been mention of injury, surgery, retirement, overseas offers, contract talks, or try-outs. That is almost unheard of for a player that plays 19m a game. At least there has been talks about Salo, Whitney, etc. But with him, nothing. I feel a Sbisa/Stanton - Morris 3rd pairing would be very solid especially in a sheltered role. Silver lining is that as long as none of the above things are mentioned it is still a possibility. Sigh... I remember 3 years ago thinking "Shea Weber" now I am settling for a Derek Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Gonna be tough to be competitive with even one defenseman out of the lineup this year. We're really thin back there; hopefully something pops up on waivers. Facckkkkkkkk, I guess that's why we kept Corrado up... If Bieksa cannot go for 1 game or so, Corrado will be sent down. IMO Bieksa would have to be serious enough to go on LTIR to keep Corrado in town. I'm believing Horvat will stay. And play once his own injury heals. Horvat will stay, barring a very interesting waiver pick up or trade is my guess. And even then, Sestito would probably fall on his sword first. All just my opinion. who is also injured? DeNiro was speaking of Bieksa being injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Belfort Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yeah, really surprised he is still available and no team has approached him.

Sigh... I remember 3 years ago thinking "Shea Weber" now I am settling for a Derek Morris. Just googled his name and looks like he was being scratched regularly back in March. Maybe he was going full edler the last half of the season haha.. Still weird nobody gave him a try out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Pitkanen may be a good player to take a chance on. Low risk high reward. Not when he can't even put his foot in his skate. Until then he's sky high on the risk chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
