I think he's got a bit of upside honestly. Keen to see him tried next to Myers for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Linus K has been solid so far. I hope he can keep growing his game because hes not too far off imo from being a NHL player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the plan now looks like they’ll try and see if Poolman can somehow work with Hughes, and then if that fails I guess they go back to the Hughes-Schenn pairing? Big miss this summer was not getting a partner for Hughes. Almost as big as the Benning miss losing Tanev walk. Perfect Hughes partner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGT68 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Need to start to put out an attempt at a regular season lineup. Wolanin looked better than poolman. Think that says more about poolman. Need to play to get some winning habits going. Have not been up to snuff yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hoping someone unexpectedly pops up on waivers that the Canucks can grab. Won’t be a top four defenseman but someone who can fit in short term in that spot because no one looks ready. Top 4: Hughes OEL Myers _____ Bottom 4: Schenn Burroughs _____ _____ Rathbone - AHL Poolman - Waivers Dekeyser - Released Dermott - IR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be able to do everything that Burroughs can do and he's also a RHD. But yes, after missing a full season, he may still need some catch-up time in the A.

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Poolman dreadful again, I wonder if we waive him at the right time a desperate team may pick him up but I doubt it. We missed Hughes against Seattle but Burroughs brings some intensity no one else does. OEL and Myers aren't quite playing with it just yet either and Rathbone isn't zipping pucks as fast as I'd hoped. We're in trouble on D if we don't get better. Again, Hughes and Schenn are our only decent defencemen. I wonder if Bruce mixes things up and splits OEL and Myers to inject some energy into them too. Hope Dermott isn't out too long because I think he can play with a bit more speed and intensity than what we're seeing so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 The Abbotsford Canucks training camp begins on October 5th. We should expect a lot of players to be sent down in the next 24 hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BureBurrito Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Anyone think Philly or Columbus are excellent training partners for a blockbuster? Also think with Miller signing, seems like Horvat's play has dropped right off (lost a step, not showing much leadership). Wonder if the team is going to trade him sooner than later and announce Miller as Captain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game day tomorrow (Oct 3) 'should' be the last time we dress a hodge-podge of almost-good-enoughs and wannabes, and then as you say, down go the cuts. I have enjoyed all the preseason games regardless of the scores but I won't mind seeing the end of the overly-negative posts extrapolating doom and gloom from the preseason games. Games Oct 3, 5, and 7, and then the Real Thing on Wednesday the 12th, in Edmonton. Preseason game in Edmonton tomorrow (6pm) may foreshadow the start of the regular season somewhat, and maybe we get a chance to play against Virtanen.

I'd like to see Burroughs with Myers as he keeps his game simple, has good positioning and adds more toughness on the backend. It's a shame that in over 8 years of drafting, Hughes is the only top 4 D to emerge. Hell, we haven't had any Dman emerge from our developement system and that's a damn shame. Hopefully Rathbone can mark the team and elevate into the top 4 as he's looked good in pre-season so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Have we announced any assignments? I think we will be sending a lot of guys down in the next 48 hours, reduce by about 15 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I'm hoping if Dermott is healthy to start, we see something like this: Hughes - Schenn OEL - Dermott Rathbone - Myers Burroughs A young guy who can skate well on each pairing with a veteran who can play the shutdown role. Burroughs probably steps in every now and then but Poolman should be nowhere near the team. I don't see him outplaying any of these guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
