That said, who knows what Green is going to do until he sets the opening roster. It’s actually kinda both.Many options for green and co this preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work. He is good at faceoffs and that is it. He isn’t a creative enough playmaker in the middle and he isn't responsible enough defensively to play center. In 3 games, so far in the preseason, Miller has 1 PPG and one assist 4 on 4 on the Petan goal. He has shown 0 chemistry with Garland and Podkolzin. Get Petey back playing so we can have the Lotto Line. Miller - Pettersson - Boeser Höglander - Horvat - Garland Pearson - Dickinson - Podkolzin That's how the top 9 should look. With Miller/Höglander and Höglander/Pearson being interchangeable depending on what is or isn't working in specific games. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of Dries, Lockwood, Di Guiseppe, Focht, MacEwen. Odds are good 4 of them are cut sooner than later. Oh yea this is thanks but no thanks group while keeping the vets rested.

Agreed and it's annoying we haven't seen Horvat with Garland or Pearson with Dickinson yet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d argue we haven’t seen Dickinson at all yet. Dude has been invisible. I’m hoping to see some urgency in Podz game tonight, and as per usual will be keeping a close eye on Rathbone and OJ.

Kootenay Gold Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The Canucks will be in tough to beat the Kraken tonight with this roster. More importantly it will be a litmus test of who ups their game and those that just go through the motions. Fully expect roster cuts to happen as early as tomorrow morning for a few players.
