Superb Article as per usual!
I like the idea of what TG is trying to do, seems like he's trying to surround Horvat with better line mates and make a shutdown line, sedins on the 2nd line for the first time in years!
What I don't like: Hutton/Stecher on the same pairing.... |

Thanks Carol!
Virtanen over Boeser based on preseason and skating for sure |

Boeser will get his chance, again, I see both Virtanen and Boeser being rotated in and out of the lineup so that they can get more practice time to work on things they need to, to be NHL regulars instead of being sent down to the AHL and Utica having more issues to deal with via ice time/veteran status. It's not going to hurt either's development at this point. |

I forgot about this. So would Gagner break Kassian's jaw this time? |

Wow, Twitter is freaking out about Boeser sitting tonight.
It makes complete sense to me. He had a blank stat line in the preseason game against Edmonton last week - with 2:49 of power-play time. And he faded in general during the later stages of preseason.
With his skating being the weakest part of his game, I don't think Edmonton is a good matchup for him. Jake's way better suited to play against the Oilers.
Brock will get his chance soon enough. |

Sutter also had a clean slate and a few others had not so impressive stats |

Sutter also went 68% in the faceoff circle and spent more than 5 minutes on the PK - and EDM's only PP goal was on the 5-on-3. He was very noticeable. |

So that stuff that Jim said about if a prospect outplays a vet we will find a spot was all fluff? Not surprised |

Do you actually think Sutter, the Sedins or Edler would be waived lol
The bubble players and kids were battling for two spots. What do you know, two vets were sent to Utica. Management did exactly what they said they would. You are the only poster that thinks the Sedins should be waived |

No I don't think that they should be waived.
I don't even care that BB is sitting . I did care that JV was sitting. Brock though has outplayed Burmistrov Dorsett Danny |

And I honestly think the team would be better served to have Virtanen and Boeser in the AHL for the year and to have those vets up here instead. With Boeser/Virtanen, the Comets could actually contend for the Calder Cup while the Canucks toil the season and try and be semi-respectable and fail. |
