And talking of Goldy, I could see him clawing his way back into the big club by season's end, in time for a playoff run.  He is becoming a leader on this team, playing a 200 foot game.  On the top line 5 on 5, 1st unit PP as well as first unit PK.

I guess it depends on how far Utica itself goes.  JB might want his spares to get a really long playoff run themselves, where they can shine and either boost trade value, or else make themselves part of the Canucks conversation again.

Some AHL news:

 

This, along with Seattle's new farm in Palm Springs, will add two new teams to that Southwestern cluster of Nevada/ California/ Arizona, for a total of eight.  Vancouver has out clauses with Utica in 2021 and 2023, interesting what happens next.  Seattle's ownership is building a whole new arena for the farm team -- Sacramento is a city that comes to mind if the Canucks ever go that route.  Big enough city, large student population, history of supporting pro sports, and a sizable Canadian transplant community.  Fresno, CA and Reno, NV have arenas that could be upgraded to AHL standards for ~$10 million -- that is, less than a quarter of the price that Francesco just sold a L.A. mansion for.  There are certainly options if the desire is there with ownership.

Utica could use some size in the lineup.  MacEwen, Bailey with the parent club and Arseneau sidelined with an injury.

When will we hear the complaints about Benning/Johnson not planning ahead to have enough size on the team with the Canucks pillaging it all? Does anyone care about Utica?
