BREAKING NEWS: Canucks Make MAJOR Roster Decisions
All right, guys. You’ve been waiting for the breaking news, and we have it. This is what everybody’s been talking about. Who’s going to make this team? Who’s not going to make this team? Well, the Conucks have just made their decision, and it’s an interesting one. And I think people are going to be pretty frustrated or maybe it makes a lot of sense. We’re going to get really into it. I actually have all the lines here of basically what the roster is going to look like on opening night. So, this is what the announcement is. So, breaking news, the Canucks announced that Victor Mancini and Tom Milander have been assigned to the Abbottzford in the AHL. Both of those guys were honestly able to go down without having to worry about waiverss. So, this is what the lineup looks like. So, first of all, right off the bat, this means that a guy like Coots, it looks like he just made the team as an 18-year-old center. He’s been so good this preeason and this training camp and this kid has just made the Vancouver Conucks which is huge news and really congratulations for him. One interesting name here is Baines. It looks like Baines made the team as well. Now Baines had a bit of a slow start with training camp and in preseason he did come off the best game he’s had the most recent game. And I will say this, I think a big part of this is they don’t I think they don’t just want to lose him to waiverss. They obviously have some sort of intel saying that if he gets sent down, someone’s going to pick him up. And with all the kind of weird things going on for IR, who’s hurt, who’s not, and and the opportunities that are given, it looks like Bane’s made the cut. So, he’s going to get himself a little bit of a shot here to see. Another guy who made the team is Carlson which was pretty expected but Carlson and Ratu both also made the team as well. Leur Maki who was absolutely sniping everything he made the team as well. This was definitely going to happen especially after that last game where he absolutely had laser beam after laser beam. So it looks like that that line Kane Coots and Leer Macki is going to stick together for that first game which is going to be pretty exciting. And yeah, and now on defense, the the big thing is that Pierre Olivier Joseph, there were rumors that he might go on IR, which could affect that spot, but it looks like he might be okay. And Forbert also was kind of dealing with a few issues. It looks like he’s going to be okay. So, they made the team over a guy like Victor Mancini. And Mancini has been really good this training camp. He deserved to be on this team. But the Vancouver Conucks clearly said that, hey, they want to develop the guy. They want to keep a guy like DPD up, of course. And with Tom Wanderer going down, they want to develop him as well to have that as like maybe even a pairing. It would be interesting to see because, you know, they’re both right-handed defenseman’s down there. So, who’s going to get the minutes? But will we see Mancini up here real quick? Is there maybe a trade that we don’t know about that’s kind of brewing here? Like, what is going on? because it’s it’s surprising to me that Mancini did not make the team. Now, Forbert is one of the best penalty killers in the NHL, bar none. He’s a monster at it, and I think they wanted to keep him on in the lineup for that. The name, what kind of confused me was Pier Olivier Joseph making the team there. So, it’s it’s fascinating. I I I guess they don’t want Mancini kind of just sitting, I guess. Right? Because if they’re going to be playing Forbert, uh, and, uh, you know, let’s just say they they rotate Forbert and Mancini or maybe Forbert and DPD, maybe they don’t want those guys sitting. So, they’re like they’re better off just going to the AHL and getting a ton of minutes. I think maybe that’s what they’re thinking about. Also, with the waiver of eligibility, that also played a role. But if you look at this, like this is what we’re going to be going with. So, they probably were more comfortable having a veteran just sit, you know, most of the games in Pierre Oliver Joseph. And it it’s it’s going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. I I I wonder if there’s a few more twists and turns here in the next week or two, maybe even with a trade or uh like who knows? Like uh it’s I’m I’m curious to see how they they respond to this. This is very early. This is breaking news. We haven’t had any, you know, opinions here from Rutherford or Alvine or anything like that. So, let’s let’s see how this So, what do you guys think? This is the roster. Do you think they made the right call or the wrong call? Let me know. And yeah, I’m curious what you guys all think. Cheers.
Vancouver Canucks Tom Willander and Victor Mancini both get sent down to the AHL.
Bains, Lekkerimaki, Karlsson, and Braeden Cootes make the Canucks!

Really interesting decisions here by the Canucks, What do you guys think?
Really thought Mancini would make the team.
I can see the Wilander move, but honestly dont understand Mancini he honestly killed it in pre season and think he earned his spot on the team.
Congratulations to everybody that made the team! 🥳🥳
Mancini can be back really soon, just one injury, what if Joseph or forbert has some kind of problem? Can Canucks go on the away trip game 4 to 8 without Mancini, I doubt it
Hard decisions but smart moves imo. I can see some players in the lineup for possible future trades.
Cootes, Karlsson, Lekkerimaki, and Bains means they are forward heavy. I am disappointed that Mancini is not on the Canucks roster. Willander struggled a bit so sending him to the AHL is a good idea. I still think Lekkerimaki and O’Connor should switch lines
Do you think Hoglander will be on IR or LTIR? IR likely makes more sense
If the Canucks want to make a trade, they have to move Willander and some other pieces. If I went to market for someone, I would to after Dylan Larkin!
To be frank, I’m not a big fan of Myers taking up a roster spot, I get why Forbort is there (penalty killing), but I’d rather have one of Mancini or Willander instead of Myers..it would help the cap as well. But what do we have, like, 2 more years of Myers, so yeah, perhaps a trade is in order..
I like it 👍
Amazing looking team !. Is it too early to be optimistic 🤔 🤞🤞🤞✌️
I really dont like Myers in the top 4. Maybe theres a trade coming for a right shot defender because we have 5LD and 2RD on our roster.
I'm 90% sure they're just trying to get late picks for Karlsson and Bains before losing them on waivers.
