[Vector]

All of Garland’s friends are hurt. Possible he gets put into the top-6.

I'd definitely be ok with a Debrusk Petey and Garland line

 

[Three On Zero]

I expected the Demko news, but it’s also concerning that’s he’s addressing the media tomorrow

 

[TruGr1t]

Demko has to manage some inoperable leg injury and Pettersson is managing his tendonitis, lovely.

 

[Vector]

Haven’t listened but CanucksArmy report that Allvin says Blueger is expected to be out only one week. Demko wished to address the media himself tomorrow. McWard week to week recovering for off-season surgery. No extra info on Joshua.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Not a great start with injuries, going to have to adjust my season forecasts.

Hopefully after the first few weeks everyone is back and feeling hundred percent, can roll all the way to another division title.

 

[supercanuck]

Based on all we discussed over the summer, tendinitis heals with rest. Is it concerning that EP still feels it sometimes?

It is perhaps possible that the whole tendinitis thing was blown out of proportion.

Ya, I thought the same thing.

Latest footage of Joshua on his way to Rogers Arena.

I have a really good feeling about Sherwood and I’m optimistic about Desharnais being a good fit here

 

[Three On Zero]

Guess we find out tomorrow

Not at all. It kind of just lingers and is annoying. There’s no risk of damage and just becomes pain management and figuring out if there are stretches that strengthen the area or related motions that can be avoided that stress it.

They've both got massive arms, I'll say that much

 

[Hooz]

It’s a shame Joshua had his summer training disrupted. I was expecting him to come in flying after the crap he took at camp last year. I’m sure he’ll be fine and find his game as he did last season, but it will probably take some time.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Finally a roster!

 

[Josepho]

late

 

[LordBacon]

Start the damn season already

 

[wonton15]

I know it probably doesn’t mean too much, but still pleasantly surprised to see them include Demko (and Joshua) on the training camp roster

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

good to see the young guys getting some reps with the real deal
anyone know how long they are up here?

Until they get cut

 

[VanJack]

With Joshua and Blueger slated to miss some time, at least at the start of training camp, the door is wide open for auditions......a third line scoring winger and a third line center.

So Raty, Sasson, Blais and maybe Bains and Karlsson will get long looks, at least in the first few exhibition games.

I don’t imagine there will be too many big surprises.

My guess at the forward roster to start out of camp -

Heinen - Miller - Boeser
DeBrusk - Pettersson - Sprong
Sherwood - Suter - Garland
Di Giuseppe - Aman - Hoglander
Karlsson

I could see an outside shot of Blais getting a spot based on the current situation - but I think Tocchet showed that he liked Di Giuseppe and Karlsson, and I think the organization values Aman as a player but especially a center.

It definitely adds some intrigue as we looked totally locked in at F and now have some injuries to deal with. But we’ll see.

Brisebois is also there and I don't think anyone knows if he'll actually be able to play.

That's probably default, but I will wager Raty gets a fairly long look at a bottom-six centre spot at camp with Blueger out. Allvin keeps talking about wanting to keep him at centre, and I think he'll be given a fair shot. I don't think there is much hope of someone stealing a spot on the wing ... Lekkerimäki needs to play top-line minutes on the farm, and Bains will almost certainly have no chance to beat out Tocchet's boy PDG.

I think of the farm guys, Bains is the likeliest candidate - the coaches and the team are very high on him.
