^ it's a 3rd line though, and Hansen is always very composed so i dont see why not
Amuse, those are pretty much the lines I would put together as well, although imo i think Davidson will be in a battle with Krajicek for the last spot, and i think it's a very real posability of taking it from him

I think Grabner's send-down should be temporary.......
They should trade Pyatt in the begining of the season, he's completely replaceable and Grabner has way more potential.

^ Grabner has done -nothing- during this camp, after watching him in the first games he's played this year i'm having doubts that he will ever posses the skill to become a full-time NHLer
i totally agree however that pyatt is expendable

Gonchar's down and out... Maybe one of our D-men will get shipped
to PITS for a forward... I'm sure Ray Shero is getting plenty of calls
from GM's trying to rip him off, at the moment.

I'm not sure how one can say Grabner did nothing in the pre-season considering he had a point in both games he played this year, led the team in scoring in the preseason last year.......... yet guys like Brown and Rypien are still around when we already have enough grinders / fighters and they are not addressing goal-scoring in any way whatsoever?
I was a little surprised he wasn't going as hard into corners and stuff like that, he seemed to be playing things really "safe" doing a lot of dump-ins and going to the bench responsibly, etc.... but you can't really say Grabner did *nothing* in the pre-season.

I think the hordi/bur/johnson will be a good line. speed/grit that can for sure score some goals. And imagine burrows being even more effective as a pest esp. now that he has 2 guys to back him up in his line? should be fun!!.
Overall, I'm liking that projected lines. I hope everyone stays healthy.

I wonder if Lu being captain, is something management wanted in order to keep him here longer. Kind of like baiting the fish. Trying to extend that contract of his... hrm...
But great choices for the assistants kessler mitchell, and ohlund

According to the NHL rule book:
In addition, if the permanent Captain is not on the ice, Alternate Captains (not more than two) shall be accorded the privileges of the Captain
AND
No playing Coach or playing Manager or goalkeeper shall be permitted to act as Captain or Alternate Captain.
i wonder when the league will force them to reverse this decision.

Mitchell will be designated as the person who will deal with officials on a nightly basis.
As the longest serving Canuck, Mattias Ohlund will deal with any ceremonial aspects of the position such as faceoffs.

The one caller right after made a good point. Roy and Brodeur were never named Captain and were obviously leaders. It shows how much (or how little) confidence AV and Gillis have in naming someone in the room as the designated captain.

I think this is just a case of ownership wanting to bait Luongo into re-signing by giving him captaincy within the room. We all know how hard working and passionate he is so I think this is a great move.
