  1. Need to make a move to bring kampf to the roster. Mancini is the only non-lineup player that is waivers exempt. I expect to see him called up again if anyone on defense gets hurt.

  2. Hopefully that implies Garland is okay.

    If they had to put him on IR they wouldn’t need to send anyone down.

  3. It feels like the Canucks are constantly doing this kid dirty. I get he was just activated and is the only waivers exempt player, but how is he supposed to develop in Abbotsford given the state of their team? A 6’4” RH dman is hard to come by, let alone one that can skate well at that size. I liked the idea of him getting comfortable on a line with Hughes.

    PO Joseph hasn’t been impactful and Willander could be traded for a far better return on investment than these plebeians we’re picking up for cheap that are clearly not 2C material.

  4. This will get hate, but D-Petey hasn’t looked great this year.

    Statistically sub par, but more worrying is how often he is taking big hits. Its only a matter of time before he gets injured too. I think a confidence boost would go a long ways for D-Petey. Maybe he needs to get in some big performances in Abbotsford.

    Hard to send him down until someone else gets healthy though.

    I also think Willander has been somewhat of a defensive liability. He seems to struggle with boxing players out of the crease. Obviously a size issue and not much he can do about it though.
