Player Discussion Vancouver Canucks #7 Carson Soucy

[VanJack]

Soucy may or may not survive the TDL. But what we're seeing is 'changing of the guard' on the Canuck blueline.

Wouldn't shock me if they make room for D-Petey, Wilander and even Mancini, perhaps as early as down the stretch this season.

Is a player in his second season on a team really part of the guard? Wasnt he changing the guard last year?

Yes, the guard did change last year, but the 'changing' was underwhelming. Out were Cole and Zadorov; 'in' were Desharnais and Forbort. They brought back Myers and Soucy. And Friedman was supposed to be the 'swing' guy.

Fast forward, Desharnais and Friedman are gone; and Forbort and even Soucy may join them. The only 'constants' are Hughes and Hronek, and the latter has missed two months with a shoulder issue.

So every year is a changing of the guard.

Took way too long to register that soucy was missing.
