I think with canucks signing all those free agents the are worried with rushing the young guys and just giving them spots. Instead of them actually earning the spots like they should. I don't think they want to be an embarrassment like they were last year and don't want to go through a season like when they gave spots to Virtanen and McCann. Also I don't think management is really sure how doresetts health is with his neck surgery as well.

Dorsett needs to goooooo... I like his tenacity and admire his heart, but he has hands of stone and his staged "fights" and physical play are embarrassing.

Hell gagner is one good example of not really putting work in developing young players.

I don't mind dorsett but he is coming back from a major neck injury and he isn't that type of guy who lets up. He goes and gives 100% every shift, imagine him just coasting out here and not hitting anyone because he doesn't want to reinjure himself. He will be practically useless if he isn't hitting let alone fighting.

wouldn't be surprised if he starts off in Utica in a conditioning stint, along with Rodin
Gaunce will probably start his year in Utica unless he has a ridiculously good camp, I would think Goldy, Boeser will get every chance to crack the line up.
Sedins Granlund
Bae Bo Boeser
Gagner Burmistrov Goldy
Boucher Sutter Eriksson
Tanev - Edler
Del Zotto - Stecher
Hutton - Gudbranson
Wiercoch - Holm
Juolevi (if he makes it)
I don't see Subban/Pedan passing both Wiercoch or Holm on the depth unless they have amazing camps.
Utica's d-corp will probably be Subban/Pedan/Brisebois as their top 3 since Juolevi still isn't eligible if he doesn't make the team.

I heard on 1040 this morning that Juolevi came into the young stars training camp at 200lbs.. If that's actually the case I could see him making the team this year.

^ I hope Juolevi is the good type of 200lbs lol
Ain't no way Sutter is our 4th line centre or would even accept that role though, keep dreaming

Man it'd be wicked if Juolevi turns out to be an Ohlund pre eye injury.

I think rodin is injury prone and burmistrov probably will take 4th line

if juolevi ends up like ohlund lite then that would be awesome but i don't see juolevi making the open ice hits and being that physical. Lets just hope he doesn't turn out like Ossi Vaananan...
