It looks like Brian Burke as he/she/they are in the middle of transitioning
Yeah, worst mascot in the league from a really bad franchise. It looks like it would scare children.

They're shitting the bed all around.
Is it a wonder no marquis players want to sign there?
Even kids like Shane Wright want out of there. It's a wasteland.

The mascots name is Buoy.

So… tweeners are us…. with a couple good waiver wire claims this week… DPetey makes the big club and everyone else from this line-up gets waived or sent down to develop?

I'm calling it
He somehow hasn't gained an ounce since he was 17. Should have been a jockey.
If that's his only limitation, it's easily fixable.

Just have to modify his training and supplementation routine a bit.

I don't think I have ever seen a kid before who looks exactly the same 4-5 years later as he did the day he was drafted. And I don't remember it ever coming up as a topic of discussion with the team. But there it is.

Canucks should never take a Euro 1st round if they are not already over here, or they are just oozing talent and have size to match.

They just seem to not have the luck with them unless they are named Sedin.

Lekk had 1 good year in Swedish Jr league then went to Swedish HL and was 9 points in 26 games at the age of 18.

Yeah....I get the tongue in cheek commentary but EP40 has gained weight and muscle since draft day.

I haven't seen this sushi kid in pre and post photos as a comparable from draft day until now but trust Megs judgement.

Now I get the game as changed and training is more leaning towards cardio and flexibility, band work, core and the like as opposed to deads/squats/bench/presses et cetera but the boys should be trying to put a little muscle on if they plan on making it in the shows grind.

Even a skill guy like Zegras has gone from high 160's low 170's to a solid 185 lbs. since draft day.

He and that Lukas Reichel are both similar in their play as well as what to expect. Waivers and gone next fall is my guess

Yep. The actual roster will play in the two home games, mostly.

Yeah, I thought there was a rule about having enough vets on the rosters of these games.

Abby Canucks, indeed.

Apparently it’s Atu Ratys last allowable game under the CBA
