Carol Schram: Utica Comets year-end award winners will help fill out Canucks' Black Aces Players like Reid Boucher, Guillaume Brisebois and Mikey DiPietro were among the Utica Comets' year-end award winners for the 2019-20 season. They could be called upon to join the Vancouver Canucks' expanded roster when summer training camp gets underway, likely in July.

Thx Carol!

Thanks Carol!

Thanks Carol, we used to make Steak Diane table side at a place I worked back in the day. People used to really like that kind of service. Now folks are too busy looking at their phone to notice there is anyone at the table at all.

in an ideal world i'd love to see a healthy Ferland supplant Roussel on the 3rd line with Gaudette and JV.
A 4th line of Leivo-Sutter/Beagle-Roussel/Motte

NZ is COVID free it seems!

Life back to normal from today (except no international travel yet).

I think Brisebois would be in lineup before Rafferty.

I see him as good pairing w Benn.
But i suppose it depends on what skill set the require, stay at home v more offensive.

Better opportunity for a LHD my guesstimate.

More depends on match ups. Minny is a perimeter team that plays a patient opportunistic game. Aka boring lol

Lotta LHD on that list amigo
How anyone would bot have leivo up the lineup is a mystery to me. Low-key one of our best middle six guys. I’d put him ahead of many.

I know that's their rep historically.
But i can't say i've paid much attention of late to comment on their style today.
I do recall someone (?Carol) mentioning that they were a pretty good scoring team since the new HC took over.
Could be wrong.

Been reading some other sites that are still using comparables, like salaries are going to go up or at minimum stay the same.
The players and league are going to be taking a hit for at least 2 years.
I don't expect to see any 6, 7 or 8 year contracts anytime soon, especially ones over 7 million.

Yup,

Bananas Foster, flambé strawberries, Caesar salad at the table, carved smoked salmon, Dover sole deboned at the table. Egyptian cotton table linens, sterling silver flatware, bone China, crystal stemware, $200/person average. Fun times!

No active cases on Vancouver Island. But wave two is going to be a female dog, maybe...

If you could find the same thing with the flight of the conchords guys it would be better.

Pretty sure he’s set to be ready in 3-4 weeks. We won’t have hockey before then.

Pretty sure the only news on Leivo has been similar to this report from about 5 weeks ago.

Great

if we're ranking bottom 6 wingers and we're assuming they're healthy and game ready (which i don't think we can assume they all will be), i'd go:

JV
Ferland
Leivo
Roussel
Motte
ZacMac (C)
Sutter (C)
Eriksson

i'm not sure Ferland/Leivo will be game ready tho.
