Canucks Set Roster For The Regular Season

By /

Quick thoughts on the Vancouver Canucks roster. Remember, Thatcher Demko and Filip Chytil were placed on injured reserve; goalie Nikita Tolopilo cleared waivers and has been sent to AHL Abbotsford. Chris Driedger was released from his PTO.

Good on Guillaume Brisebois. He has battled for a spot since 2017. He’s 29 and has played 29 NHL games since he was drafted in 2015, but he’s going to start in the NHL.

While he’s not a top-six forward, Arshdeep Bains showed improvement in camp. Everyone assumed Aatu Raty was destined to start in Abbotsford. But with Chytil on the IR, Raty will start for the Canucks. He showed really well last Tuesday in Calgary.

Even though Mancini starts in Vancouver, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kirill Kudrayvstev plays games this year. He can play both sides.

Braeden Cootes will start in Abbotsford which is the right move. Let him cook in Abbotsford.

I expect to see Meriläinen to play one game this week. Canucks have a back-to-back at home against the Flames and Golden Knights on Saturday and Sunday. They start with a home game against the Edmonton Oilers. Tuesday in Edmonton; Thursday, the home opener.

    Tyson Jost earned a 1 year/2way deal on a PTO. He’d be a good cheap replacement for Chytil.

    You don’t want to rush Cootes. I guess there weren’t any suitable C’s available in waivers? Then you look at the trade market or stand pat.

    The Edmonton Oilers are a disgusting organization.

    Looking like Raty scratched tonight even though the Canucks are down a center.

    I thought they would have picked up another C, can’t depend on Chytil. Too bad he’s a talented player, just can’t handle the game.

    Mancini has been a disapointment along with Chytil who came over from the NYR in the JTM trade. The first flipped for Marcus Pettersson who ironically was traded to NY for a 2030 first-round draft pick (top-10 protected). Like JTM or not that trade was another clear loss by the Canucks. Make no wonder they are the worst team in the NHL.
