Mackenze Stewart is a 6'3", 240 pound 19 year old? Jeeeezus.
Re: Canucks Training Camp 2014 - News and Notes
Vey stood out to me in games versus the Kings last year, I'm really hoping we found a gem here that LA just couldn't afford to keep.

Re: Canucks Training Camp 2014 - News and Notes
I like his size, we definitely could use some muscle in the backend, especially with Fat Alberts gone. Stewart is obviously at least a couple years away to being close and he didn't fare too well in a scrap in the tourny, but hopefully he'll develop into a mean and nasty, solid stay at home D-man.herb wrote:Mackenze Stewart is a 6'3", 240 pound 19 year old?

Re: Canucks Training Camp 2014 - News and Notes
If Mallet doesn't have an excellent camp, will he be released to make room to sign Valk or Lotz? Anybody know how close we are to the 50 contract maximum?

I'm going with
Sedin/Sedin/Vrbata
Burrows/Bonino/Kassian
Higgins/Vey/Hansen
Mathias/Richardson/Dorsett
Horvat or Sestito
If Horvat stays it will be at the minimum 9 games and they will try him in a few spots.
The only HW the Canucks need
Re: Canucks Training Camp 2014 - News and Notes
They've already penciled Vey in, but my guess is they want to give Horvat a good look.Hockey Widow wrote:

Re: Canucks Training Camp 2014 - News and Notes
Agreed, I assume one of the Hansen, Matthias, Richardson or Sestito will be moved if Horvat indeed makes the team.herb wrote: They've already penciled Vey in, but my guess is they want to give Horvat a good look.
Re: Canucks Training Camp 2014 - News and Notes
I don't see Benning as a guy who is in a big hurry to bring in a junior eligible rookie, that would most likely play a bottom six role and have little impact in the team's fortunes vis a vis the playoffs.Jovocop wrote:Agreed, I assume one of the Hansen, Matthias, Richardson or Sestito will be moved if Horvat indeed makes the team.
I'm sure Canucks nation will be up in arms if Horvat doesn't make the team, though.

Re: Canucks Training Camp 2014 - News and Notes
Why oh why do so many fans want rookies in the line-up regardless of whether or not they deserve to be? OF COURSE Horvat should make the team if he displaces an established vet. Having useful players on their ELC in the line-up is terrific for cap management. But so many fans want a shiny new bauble in the line-up regardless of whether or not they are ready and regardless of whether or not it makes the team worse.herb wrote:I don't see Benning as a guy who is in a big hurry to bring in a junior eligible rookie, that would most likely play a bottom six role and have little impact in the team's fortunes vis a vis the playoffs.Jovocop wrote:Agreed, I assume one of the Hansen, Matthias, Richardson or Sestito will be moved if Horvat indeed makes the team.

This squad has NHL quality depth. Having Bo Horvat spend a final year in Junior playing huge minutes in all situations and perhaps truly establishing his offensive game is NOT a bad thing.

Re: Canucks Training Camp 2014 - News and Notes
There's a dude named LaFranchise at camp?
Seriously, for a second there I thought I was in the future and we drafted McDavid.

Just hope that Benning's decision would not be affected by the "UPPER" management, like in some other cases...herb wrote:I don't see Benning as a guy who is in a big hurry to bring in a junior eligible rookie, that would most likely play a bottom six role and have little impact in the team's fortunes vis a vis the playoffs.Jovocop wrote:Agreed, I assume one of the Hansen, Matthias, Richardson or Sestito will be moved if Horvat indeed makes the team.
