Going back to what some people say in athletes are overpaid etc
Imagine you’re a horvat or a stecher. You’ve already played like 4+ meaningless games, flown from Vancouver to LA, Utah, Kelowna, etc playing a physical af game every night the stress etc that comes from underperforming or just trying to make the team
And NOW you have to start playing 82 and more lol.
Fuck it’s probably stressful af for most players. It’s way more work than your average job

I work an office job and there are performance reviews done between Managers and their direct reports. Imagine being an athlete and your performance review is essentially done between you and 10's/100's of thousands of fans instead lol.

There is a good chance the Canucks might finish with a 0-82 record this year.

If you go by the standings of preseason, then there is very high chance host team of draft gets 1st pick.

This team should've received the 1st pick 3 years in a row  . Might happen this year as the Sedins are no longer around to prop us up anymore.

The Sedins finished 15th on the team in preseason scoring and had the best +/-.

Wilson is probably going to get the book thrown at him because of his history, but NHL is so inconsistent with this shit. We've seen pretty much this same play get 0 games before.

Rather have Archibald than Schaller in the line up.
I doubt he will be picked up on waivers though.

You only get a maximum of $0.925k cap relief for sending a player to the minors.
Edit: Also, the Canucks could've papered Boeser to the minors for a day, put Dorsett on LTIR, and called Boeser back up on opening day without risking Gagner at all.
