Up front you can see a lot of guys with a last chance to impress. Hard to do that when you are playing most guys who are last chance. Kind of hard to get excited about our line up although on D it is pretty well set other than Hughes and Poolman. Should be interesting to watch the D to see if they can pull out a win for the team cause up front I dont really know where the goals will come from.

It could be a good showcase on PK since Sutter and Motte will both be unavailable to start the year.

Dont know. But I think we will see more cuts after tonight. He does not have to clear waivers and he is on the bubble with a number of guys so perhaps the decision is made. with Motte and Sutter out we need to replace that defensive game and PK game, at least to start the year. I dont see him in a PK role. Its time for some of these rings players to step up.

Thats as ghetto as it gets holy fuck. Why arent these coaches putting their final rosters on the ice to build some chemistry?

Do we really need to see more Dries? Focked? Theyre 100% Abby bound...whats the point?

I would imagine that after tonight, as HW already said, we will see a lot of cuts to the roster. There are still 2 pre-season games remaining and I would imagine in those games we will see what will be pretty close to the Canucks opening night roster.

Tanner Pearson - Bo Horvat - Nils Hoglander <- They all look ready for the season. They’ve looked really good. They don’t need to play these last three games. Hope they avoid injuries in these meaningless games.

Matthew Highmore - Justin Dowling - Vasily Podkolzin <- The only line of real interest in this game as they are battling for the last spots in the line-up.

Phillip Di Giuseppe - Jason Dickinson - Zack MacEwen <- Looks like the fourth like to me. Even if he is outplayed, they’ll want MacEwen’s grit since it looks like they’ve already written of Gadjovich to start the season on the team.

Sheldon Dries - Carson Focht - William Lockwood <- Most likely AHL teammates getting some experience against some NHL players tonight. Lockwood is the closest, but he’ll have to get significant points as well as keep hitting everyone that moves to have any real chance to make the big club - long shot.

Had Gadjovic been cut or injured? He hasn't been in a game for a while

That's what I'm thinkin. Didn't they do this last year and then got off to a slow start???

Though I can see Benning giving some of the also-rans a few pre-season games to keep them happy. Seems to be his style.

I'm hoping we get to see Podkolzin play without the nervousness. Probably imposable but he needs a good showing tonight. Jason Dickinson hopefully shows some real prowess as a reliable center. And the obvious, almost showdown like scenario with Rathbone and Juollevi both in. Actually that's not 100% true as they could technically both start the season in Vancouver, at least to begin with.
