It also means the guaranteed return of Loui Eriksson

You had to go there.
Can’t we just enjoy the new schedule for a few minutes.

If they go 4-0 to start, Bonnie Henry will let them back to Rogers Arena.
If they go 0-4, they can stay in Edmonton.

We're actually going to need everyone. maybe if he cuts his hair and goes back to the dallas / boston look.

Ahead of the curve

Off season moves will be a wash this season, two to three years down the road Vancouver will be laughing at Calgary.

Going into this season with it's shortened schedule and inter division play, depth will be critical. There will be a playoff grudge match mentality to teams playing each other as often as they do. That will increase injuries with little recovery time in schedule.

Getting off the blocks fast and creating space in the standings will be key because as injuries mount a fall from grace could be fatal.

Say game 20, your #1 goaltender suffers a groin injury and forced to miss 10-12 games or three of your top nine forwards are out for 6+ games or two of your top 4 defenders suffer foot/ankle injuries.

Weathering storms will be key.

Vancouver #Canucks@Canucks
Canucks announce Jason King as an Assistant Coach and Chris Higgins as Skills and Development Coach.

A couple who cares kinda moves, but both guys are former Nucks. Nice to see that Higgy was able to bury the hatchet and work here now as JB soured on him towards the end of his career. King had a short cup of coffee here, but seems like a smart guy who can help with the technical and analytical side of the game.

I know Bieksa is prob not interested in coaching right now, as he has a young family and he seems to enjoy working in the media right now, but he's one guy I wouldn't mind seeing JB try to recruit. I think he has alot of characteristics going for him to become a really good bench boss.

C'mon Mick, Cherry Picker asked nicely that we stop talking about you-know-who...

Injury riddled schedule

Depth=key

I love the schedule, I'd never imagined seeing such an easy travel schedule for a west coast team.

Don’t mind it as a fan..... but as a player I imagine it’ll be tough

Thats why players get paid the big bucks.

I don’t care about how hard it is or will be I know they get big bucks ..... it’s the injuries that reduce the quality of the only team I give a damn about....is what I’m saying and hopefully the other teams suffer similar or worse.

I think I see your point, with the number of 3-in-4-nights, but maybe I'm just a baby of a traveler, but I think eliminating all travel in those 3 in4 stretches is a huge boon for the Canucks.

Maybe I'm inured by all the times they've gone like Ny-Columbus-Edmonton-Vancouver-Calgary-Vancouver and called that a 3 game roadie

This is actually a great experiment for us. We have chatted for years how we would like to see the Canucks travel schedule reduced with more back to backs with the same team, in the same town... and now we are getting our wish. It will be interesting to see how it turns out, injury wise.

It’s also nice to see other teams travelling more than us. I can’t remember if that’s ever happened before either..

Geez, I hope this isn't a premature statement like the Canucks' one re the orca logo, lol.

It would be great if the government could keep fans at home glued to the TV while paying them to do so. This master plan is approved!
