Anything happening with Mancini soon?

Anything happening with Mancini soon?

My guess is that he'll be in Abbotsford's line-up Friday night. He'll need to be sent down for that, of course.

No. Waivers are not required.

2 prospects in the top 15 is pretty rad. I know I'll have haters but Vancouver has a very under rated prospect pool. Tons of Dmen that most teams should be jealous of.

I'm hoping for a swap of one of Kudryavtsev/Mynio for a similarly promising centre. There's not much room at left D, what with Hughes, M.Pettersson, DPetey, and there's nothing but tweeners at centre.

Any update on Lekkerimaki's injury? Google search didn't turn up anything

Held out for precautionary reasons according to Malhotra. That's about as nothing an update as you can get but it's more than we usually get when a player disappears from the Abbotsford roster.

I agree that there's quality in what I consider to be the top four (Mynio being the fourth), plus Kudryavtsev and Raty are respectable B prospects and we'll see soon enough about Mancini. It's very thin after that, especially in light of the fact that we have no 2024 pre-4th round choices remaining in the organization.
