HorvatToBaertschi Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Zalewski called up 45 minutes ago. Wonder what this could possibly mean. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/zalewski-recalled/c-283144902 Vancouver, BC - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has recalled forward Mike Zalewski from the AHL Utica Comets. Zalewski, 24, has appeared in five games with Utica this season where he has registered an assist (0-1-1) along with eight penalty minutes. In 2015.16, the 6-2, 195-pound forward appeared in 58 games for Utica where he ranked tied for fifth in points (33) and tied for third in goals (16). Zalewski also skated in three games for Vancouver, collecting an assist (0-1-1) along with two penalty minutes. Prior to making his professional debut in 2014, Zalewski spent two seasons with the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Engineers. In 71 career NCAA games, Zalewski compiled 47 points (21-26-47) and 75 penalty minutes. The New Hartford, New York, native was originally signed by Vancouver as a free agent on March 14, 2014.

Brad Marchand Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 They want 13 forwards on the active roster. Rodin, Dorsett, and Burrows on IR left the Canucks with just 12 until Zalewski was called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Maybe Megna's going back down. This changes nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorvatToBaertschi Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Just found it odd. Didnt think it would mean anything big though. Zalewski is a good 13th forward and can fill in when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Our forwards need more snarl. Good call. Hope he brings it. 4th line toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckledraggin Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Best Utica forward. He can play every situation and he is a great skater. If his hands catch up to his feet he's an NHL regular. He reminds me of Hansen the way he's always the 1st man in on the forecheck. Great callup and I hope he plays right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelar Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Lol. Our first call ups are Megna and Zalawski. Deep..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Played well last year, heck of a forecheck and is quite scrappy in puck battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'NucK™ Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 So what's the over/under on how many more minutes than Virt he gets in his first game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Wow, now we can plan the parade..... Swapping 4th line dusters will not impact our clubs performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 This is very good news. Its nice to see him get another look at the top level again. He's a solid puck battler and forechecks hard every shift. But if this is our depth, we're in for a long season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Would much rather bring up Labate. Hate to say it but looks like we're expecting Rodin to be our season's saviour right now and bring some offence to the table, and I think he'll spark our bottom 6 a fair bit, especially Horvat.
