Kid has ALL the tools... If he can ever figure it out... I’m one of the few that isn’t big on Bailey I guess. He’s got wheels but that’s all I see out of him. Good depth piece though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who goes to the taxi squad and who to Utica? And could the Blues recall Loui by mistake and be stuck with him?

It would appear that our team is stronger and more skilled than last season once again. I've seen growth and improvement year over year for a few seasons now. For all the angst, hand wringing and teeth knashing that occurs in the media, on CDC and probably anywhere more than one Canuck fan communicates, it would seem that they know what they are doing and they have a plan. Cap issues - appear to be dealt with. Defense - improved. Forwards - improved. Goaltending - maybe slight decline or holding steady. Should be an entertaining season - buckle up everyone! What a great post and way to start the day on the right foot. I’ll have a full glass of your coffee this morning. Cheers and one more day until hockey Christmas! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting they are keeping Mikey up it doesn't surprise me at all. they get a free pass to have him practice all year with NHL players and ian clark, he's almost guaranteed to get some game action at some point, and the way I see it, chances are decent that the ahl season gets canceled or runs into major roadblocks anyway, which would completely ruin an important development year. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the more I think about it, this is the best outcome for DiPietro. He gets a whole season of practice with NHL shooters and coaches. Obviously you want him playing games but considering there may not have even been an AHL season this year, this is a great way to continue his development. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can dig what you guys are saying for the simple fact that he has Ian Clark. I wonder if the can switch at some point thought out the season is things go well. I know quarantining yatta yatta.

They can still send him down to Utica at any time. Perhaps Benning still has a trade in the works for a goalie that cleared waivers yesterday (with NHL experience)...

Not to mention, the AHL season is a month away, so give Mikey some NHL pro practice and coaching for 4 weeks. Then let him carry the load in the A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now being compliant and WRONG he is being condescending on Jim for doing his job and being under the cap. The media never apologies for their mistakes and always double down or find something else to worry about. The problem being TSN1040 pitty party of not broadcasting Canucks games because we are a good team and those boys are salty AF 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His point is every team MUST by cap compliant today. The fact the Canucks are isn't a reason to celebrate, its manditory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
