I feel that giving a 22 year old the C on a AHL team is a low key “we see you as a career AHLer” move by the Canucks.

Could be correct, I see him as a possible 4th line C in the NHL one day, but he could also turn into a Carter Bancks. Who was a great captain for our young kids in Utica.

Sounds like Canucks have maintained a non-official affiliation with Kalamazoo.

 

Nychuk off to Kalamazoo. When the parent club begins to get healthy upfront, I can imagine Plasek, Hirano, Gatcomb and maybe Focht potentially sent to Kalamazoo too. 

 

Have to wonder how long they keep 3 goalies too, Either DiPietro or Silovs might have to go down temporarily.

The Abbotsford Canucks kick off their second season on Friday night, playing in the first of back-to-back games on the road. On Friday night, the Canucks will visit the Ontario Reign, with the puck dropping from Toyota Arena at 7:00pm pst. Abbotsford then will make the trek up to Bakersfield to square off with the Condors on Saturday night. That one also takes place at 7:00pm pst from Mechanics Bank Arena.

 

Both games will be available to stream for free with AHLTV’s “Weekend Freeview” available only this weekend. You can also follow coverage of the games on the Abbotsford Canucks Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, as well as a post-game recap of each game.

Looks like our D is no better in Abby than in Vancouver. 
 

If Boudreau doesn’t want to play Rathbone, and management wants to insert third rate vets in front of him, then they should avoid destroying the kid like they did DiPietro, and send him to Abby. Young guys need to play, both to gain skill and to gain confidence - stapling them to bench does no-one any good, I& you have to keep somebody up because of short numbers, keep one of the more veteran guys up.
