Zack 🙁
What are your thoughts on these roster moves?
Man I hope he doesn’t get picked up!! I have a feeling Ottawa will pick him up.
zacks the enforcer of the team, protects hoglander petey and all the non fighters…im sure chiasson will drop the gloves but is seen as a pp screen and mucker, not the enforcer or policemen zack is. not keen on this move.
Hopefully they have someone who can fight tomorrow night….
Not having Boeser, Hamonic, Sutter in the line up, anyone else feeling a little apprehensive about opening night? Bit of a baptism of fire for some guys thrust into bigger roles. Hope Chiasson can keep up playing top 6 minutes. Thanks Clay!
They will go with Miller at center when Brocks back
If it came down to one or the other I'd put Chiasson on the team as well.
I'd rather have Big Mac over Chiasson .. Canucks are soft now with Zack in the lineup
Hi Clay,
Chiasson is a guy that can play up and down the line up. I expected him to be signed.
I think Zach McEwen was replaced by Juho Lammiko.
The Canucks must really be high on Lammiko!
As per TSN Boeser is no longer day to day and on the IR list.
I expected that McEwen and Gadjovich would not make the roster this year….
With Sutter out, the canucks needed a new fourth line center: Juho is it for now…
My only surprise is if Podkolzin starting on the fourth line. But I expect him not to be there for long. He will rotate in on the top lines: like (Miller Pete Podkolzin)
The Canucks added some tough guys who can fight if necessary: Schenn, Burroughs and Dickinson…
Yes, it is sad to not have Zach as the heavy weight figher to protect the group. But Zach does not bring enough to the table to stick in the top 12. Petan is a better option for the 13th forward…
How is their defense shaping up?
Who are the muscle power on the team.
Not high on Highmore on third line. He is a fourth liner all the way. He has no ceiling. Zero offense. Rather have Podz on the third with a chance to score. Other than that my Canuck world is fine. For Podkolzin I just want for him to have the best chance to get points. Put him on a line with guys who can't pass or score you are setting him up to fail. I have a feeling his points mainly come from the defense. And do not expect a Calder.
For some odd reason, out of nowhere, at 3 am after watching your last video about the opening line up my last sleepy thought was it's time to drop McEwen. So I am taking that as a sign of a right decision on the Canucks part here 🙂
This honestly makes no sense. Benning is going in circles here. Should’ve just gave Gadjovich the same opportunity they gave Chaisson in pre-season if they were gonna cut MacEwen. He’s younger, could be a net front presence on pp and has scoring touch. Now we lose him for nothing and replaced that type of player we should be developing with a 31 year old version of him. That’s what you do when you’re ready to compete for stanley cup and don’t have time to wait for prospects to develop. Canucks are nowhere near competing for a Stanley Cup so the spot should’ve gone to the young guy.
If a canuck gets injured i count on Travis or Jim to jump in and take the fight.
We once again will be too soft and easy to play against.
Highmore doesn't deserve to be on that 3rd line tho
Wonder if we can trade MacEwen for Kravtsov if Boeser's injury takes a long time. Rangers added grit after the Wilson incident and Zack could be a buy-low
Macewan didnt bring enough to warrant a top 12 spot. Chaisson is a vet, got good size and can be useful on the pp. Macewan can protect our young stars but i also think fighting is not as common and that our young stars have enough battle and grit themselves. Petey can hit, miller got some bite, and even podkolzin can surprise. I like the vet experience in chaisson and he can move up and down the lineup. Macewan was useful in certain situations at best
No loss in Macewan..AHL player at best
No MacEwen or Lockwood. Honestly we’re gonna get bullied and pushed around. Should’ve kept Lockwood
When MacEwen first broke in I was pretty high on his potential. But he didn't play with the intensity/conviction I would have liked to see. My sense is he sees himself as a skill guy who is forced to do dirty work. Never really embraced his actual role fully. Chiasson is an improvement so I like the move.
Sad to see big Mac go. Biggest concern for me is boeser though.
Petan on the outside looking in seems strange to me.
Is we have Sebastian Aho and Juho that would epic
So far the only problem I have with this forward line up is I still believe Pearson holds Bo back and should be on the 3rd line where he belongs.
lets wait to see who gets more minutes Horvat or Peterson? then we'll see who the#1 centre is! 10 games in.
wait for how the commentators say it, they are very good at that. (ps) have you thought of trying to stream/ comment Canucks games like Steve?
Whack-a-mole?
I really hope highmore is on the 4th line
I don't think Chaisson is the solution to anything. Based on last night's game against the Oilers, I can't see him making much of a contribution. As for Mac, he didn't show much last season, and didn't show much in the pre-season. So… bye bye.
