JoshuaGuy Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I agree on Cracknell and personally see Vey starting as our 13th forward. McCann's still going back to Junior. I hope Vancouver is in a good position to lend Virtanen to WJC and we have both Jared and Jake representing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpworsley Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Personally, I think Gaunce will be the only player to stay up. He looks the complete package. In my opinion he is our equivalent to a young Andrew Ladd. Hutton might have joined him but that he plays on a side we are already covered by players who can't pass waivers. McCann is destined for the top 2 lines and therefore he will be sent back for more coaching and physical development with big minutes. Vitrtanen has the body, the grit and the speed but is not quite NHL ready although he may get 9 games or until Higgins returns. Hey you are not allowed to be a scout on here you already decreed that in the Vey thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Our Kid line knows they have to earn a spot on the roster if they want to stick. Edmonton's kid line knows they can play however they want to play and they will get first line minutes. Winning team culture >>>> losing team culture Question... That was bascially their full lineup isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJVD Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Question... That was bascially their full lineup isn't it? They were missing Eberle and Klefbom, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hey you are not allowed to be a scout on here you already decreed that in the Vey thread Alfie has a way of scolding the other posters, and then goes on to do the same as they do anyway. Funny that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 hes back! I've been reading a lot but I was getting tumours from the bone headed negativity over some damn preseason games... I couldn't handle posting or I'd say something, completely lose it and probably get fined or banned. Gotta keep my cool. The moves have been made. I'm sure many aren't happy with certain moves... I sure as heck wasn't but at the end of the day I rather cheer for the most prolific sporting franchise of ALL time rather than spit garbage negative thoughts or cheer for some other garbage team. Wednesday can't come soon enough... GO CANUCKS GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Coach McLellen version of bag skatlng the Coilers today because of the thrashing last night. Ryan RishaugVerified account@TSNRyanRishaug We're seeing McLellans version of a conditioning skate..non stop battle drills. Players exhausted, hunched over. That did not look fun.

cyoung Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Lol all time I haven't been upset with any moves to date but I know I will be at the end of today, the business side of the game is gonna force some bad decisions. With that being said I don't think any future cuts will surprise me. Most of these next moves are pretty predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekey Pete Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 They were missing Eberle and Klefbom, but that's about it. Yup, and we were missing pretty much our 3 leading scorers last season, Hank, Dank and Vrb. Oiler had it handed to them by the kids that were picked later. On the plus side for Edmonton, McDavid looks pretty damn good out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift-4 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 How close was that to a real Oilers lineup? I didn't recognize half those names. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Finally managed to watch highlights. The Baertschi to Virtanen to Horvat line had a heck of a performance, and that goal was spectacular. We need more of that this year. That's how you score goals in this league. Markstrom is a very good technical goalie. I can see him taking over from Miller within a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more of that this year. That's how you score goals in this league. Markstrom is a very good technical goalie. I can see him taking over from Miller within a year I think by the end of the season it will be a pretty even split, partially out of respect for Miller. Markstrom is, as those who followed the Comets already know, as advertised. I fully expect he is the outright starter next season. The goals for Horvats line were nice, but their game was much more than those highlights......the Oil had no answer for them. Speed, skill, size. Shift by shift they were too much to handle.

MeanSeanBean Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hansen is a very fast spark plug, who is perfect on a third line. Vey is 24, and has reached his ceiling. Vey should be put on waivers. Have you not noticed how slowly he skates? Vey has come nowhere close to his ceiling yet. You say hes 24 like that means he's old, the kid is still young. Think of when players usually start to make a real impact on the canucks. Kesler, the twins,burrows, did you see those guys tearing it up in their early 20's? The whole reason Vey is on this team and was givin a 1 year 1 way feel is because he has a very solid offesive upside that he has not been able to fully develop yet. I have never in my life heard of any fan base fixiating so hard on a 4th line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
