GDT: Canucks Training Camp Thread | DAY 01

[TruGr1t]

So not a knee (I assume that was the minor procedure), some sort of mystery muscular injury. Weird.

Good:
- Demko in good spirits, confident he can 100% recover
- Is able to be on the ice and move around

Not so good:
- Literally an unprecedented muscle injury that no player (athlete?) has had before
- No timeline for return

 

[TruGr1t]

Nice to see Lekkerimäki start with Pettersson-DeBrusk, I suspect Hoglander is not the preferred option on that line.

Intrigued to see how much time Lekk is going to get. I find it promising that with Tocchet calling him a buzzsaw he will get a really long look and every chance to make the team.

Demko...no timeline isn't a great bit of news. Not even a week-to-week.

Let's Go!!!!!!

Reminder to everyone that they played Cole McWard with Hughes for almost the entirety of last year's spring training before putting Hughes with Hronek to start the season.

CHOO CHOO GET ON THE GOD DAMNED HYPE TRAIN!

 

[wonton15]

DeBrusk 30 goal 40 assist season
Pettersson hits 40 goals 65 assists

CONFIRMED

I’m curious to see if Alriksson can take momentum of the rookie camp and make it through the first round of cuts.

It's interesting because unless Alriksson, Mynio, Pattersson, and Romani are going to make the team, it's usually more beneficial to get them back to their junior teams.

With Blueger and Joshua out it might open up the possibility to get a younger player to make a late cut. I’d imagine that staying at main training camp would be better than junior camp.

Really depends on Blueger, how many forwards they want, and if they are going with a full 23-man roster. With Blueger healthy, Joshua out, and Blias there are 14 forwards signed to one-way contracts*.

*PdG is on a two-way but his AHL salary is $500,000.

I’m convinced Demko has had some sort of penile injury.

He must have torn out his prince albert making a save

Canucks’ Training Camp culminates with an intrasquad scrimmage on Sunday, September 22nd at noon. You’ll be able to stream the game live on canucks.com.

 

[iceburg]

He's in Group B

Yeah, I caught that and edited, apparently as you were replying.

hahaha. I think you have been spending to much time with that sopelfan guy ;-)

 

[Vector]

Joshua is at training camp.

Definitely the peen

Today is the one year anniversary of the Pearson for DeSmith trade. Last season management made two trades during training camp. The season before that they traded Dickinson right as exhibition games were starting. Will the trend continue?

 

[iceburg]

With the injuries on wing and centre there's obviously a greater opportunity for a couple of guys knocking on the door. While Aman is the most established to slot in as the 4C, I am curious whether Sasson can make this a difficult decision.

Poolman trade and Lankinen signing late Friday afternoon in Canuckian fashion.
