Stormriders Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Benning gave it away tonight in the intermission talk when he said 'one or both' going to WJC, if we send either. That means Jake for sure, McCann unlikely with his value to the team right now, especially with Sutter out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowardrobertford Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Let's see how Virt makes this Wjrs 'means nothing anyways" In fairness last year tourney I saw how good domi was and I just knew right then this guy will be an NHLer high chance.

Rush17 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Let the players decide. Sounds like Jake wants to go and McCann wants to stay. (but will go if team wants him too. or so he says the media. he prob just wants to help the team make the playoffs). I dont think he wants the team to suffer but it might be in the team's best interest to get him going and build more of his confidence. Could help us down the stretch.

CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Both should go. It will be a great experience and makes sense for their development but if Virtanen goes and McCann stays then that's fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragoedia Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Even if it hurts the team in the short term, the experience will be great for them. This team isn't winning this season anyways so let's manage our assets well to leverage ourselves into the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Let them go have fun! They'll have enough time to hang around crusty old vets later. Must be like drinking at the legion in those locker rooms. They can learn these bad habits later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snucks Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 They should send a couple of seniors to the world juniors ; Edler and Higgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyIe Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'd like to see both go and then get sent down to Jr. Give Baertschi a consistent spot and someone from Utica a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Both go for sure now IMO. Virtanen was already gonna go I believe and now I think McCann should too. If the Canucks were winning with McCann then fine he should stay but they're not winning so might aswell send him to WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 They need to have some kind of victory this year, I would send them both. We're doing crappy with them in our lineup anyway (not that it's their fault). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onesmallleap Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 imo they should both go and pull up a guy like friesen from the minors the few weeks away will only help them and the team won't really be negatively affected . time to play some of our mid range depth and see what we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntrix Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 On November 11, 2015 at 5:09:30 PM, Positive Canuck said: Risky for Virtanen, he will naturally be destroying kids , at some point whats stopping a euro from smashing him from behind when Canadas up 7-1. Id say let it be the players call. Virtanen should go to the World Juniors to work on his offence, not his enforcing. If Virtanen is only useful for his hits against kids his own age then we're in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Can we send Higgins, Weber, and Vrbata to the World Juniors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conscience Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 They definitely should, will give them a break from losing with the Canucks and where they can have fun and gain invaluable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'd send 'em both. It would be good for them to be in a situation where they are a solid threat to win it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 It would be healthy for both to go. Canuck season will be a wash and a different experience away would be good. They can come back and finish the season in Vancouver. A positive break from what could become very negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeBee51 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'd like to see them both go. Would do them good and also make watching the world jr's even more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Send both the kids. Bring up Gaunce. Let the season unfold as it may. Send Weber to carry their luggage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
