| AFAIK the Best Buy Club is in the 500 sections which is like above upper bowl. It's pretty high up there and the players look like ants. I believe you're pretty much parallel to the top of the jumbotron http://canucks.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=40080 | |

can we 'write off' hodgson? or does he legitimately still have a shot at making the team this season?

I didnt think he had a legitimate shot at all but because of injuries and unless a tryout makes the team one of hodgson/schroeder/shirokov should be playing wing on the second line to start the season while samuelson takes burrows spot

Watching those prospect games, Prab Rai is pretty quick.
Prab Rai and Manny Maholtra would make an unholy duo on the third line

Brendan Morrison, the one third of the West Coast Express back in the day, is heading to Canucks main camp as a tryout. Is he for real?
The TSN scribes get his age wrong on their site article. He's described as a 25 year old center. The guy's 34 years old!!
What do you think of B-Mo trying out for the team?

Dont get me wrong, B-Mo is great. The guy can still play hockey, and its smart hockey. He would definitely bring more edge to the PK. Him being on the 3rd/4th line would boost our depth wayy more.
Cody Hodgson and Jordan Schroder have ALOT to prove if they want to crack this lineup. keep in mind, good teams are patient with their prospects. Aside from the examples in Detroit, the Ducks handled Getzlaf and Perry pretty well. They didn't crack the ducks line up until they were 22? It all about grooming prospects.
Giving the young kids a shot is worth every second of their time. Having a guy like Bmo come in to compete with them gives them every bit of reason to work harder. Peter Schafer wont make this team, but BMO has a very legitamate shot at cracking the canucks

I find it kinda sad how apart from the elite getting the big bucks and the blue chip prospects getting generous contracts, the experienced, but older guys (such as Morrison, Schaefer, etc.) are looking for jobs.

i guess most teams dont really want anyone over 32ish unless they are a proven solid vet.
they want the younger kids with more jump and energy. but i mean there are pros and cons both ways. experience and leadership are just as valuable.

The nhl has changed younger players are in higher demand because of 2 main reasons lower cap hits, 2 way eligibility and in lesser turns better possible outcomes. You look at the teams that go after ufas and after they sign 2 players because of inflation of peoples contracts your looking at around 10million for those 2 players who may not even be top of the line talent. Thats around 1/5, 1/6 of your cap, teams cant be willing to pay a proven vet 1m+ when 2 spots could be taken with young cheap players. This is one of the downsides with the salary cap, people being forced out of the league earlier than they should. Previously younger players would spend a couple years in the ahl except crosby/ov type players. Young players are are now rushed straight up to create additional cap room this is a common occurance in probably all the teams except detroit and possibly van this year because of decent contracts.

Peter Schafer wont make this team, but BMO has a very legitamate shot at cracking the canucks | Getzlaf broke into the Ducks roster when he was 20. Same age as Cody. If Cody wasn't hurt last year, i'm pretty sure he would have cracked the roster. B-Mo isn't exactly your prototypical 4th line center but looking at teams like Philly rolling 4 scoring lines with a mix of grinders on each line the 4th line in the NHL doesn't have to be typical. If he does make the team he better not make over 800k if he does, Gillis better send Hordichuk to Manitoba.

I'm down if BMo signs for league minimum or close to and doesn't pull a Mathieu Schneider on us when AV decides to give him Hordichuk ice time.

Don't know if it's been discussed but Gionta is Canadiens' new captain.
