Nucks prospects have been going all week and had their first game of the year last night in the 3 team mini tourney with the Coilers prospects and U of A Golden Bears.
Last night the Nucks got 2 goals each from Kellan Tochkin and Kevin Connaughton to win 4-3. Canucks Report - Vancouver Canucks - News
The only one in this group with any shot of making the big team is probably Sergei Shirokov who had a huge hit (according to the link above) and two helpers with a +2 rating.
Supposedly tonights PS Game with the Coilers prospects is availble on streaming on the Nucks website.
As far as the Nucks, you have all probably seen heard that both Hodgson and Demitra are hurt right now. Not good news for them, but good news for Shirokov and maybe Michael Grabner.
Still waiting for Gillis to pull off a trade involving Bieksa and another Dman to get another forward...
Perhaps a little Bieksa, Demitra, Raymond, and Corey Schneider for Dany Heatley, Chris Campoli, and a 2nd or 3rd rounder? Math works, Ottawa needs Dmen and we offload Demitra?
Probably would never happen but the Canucks could use moving a dman and getting in a true top 6 forward as Demitra is not going to cut it. I'd rather see Gillis bury him in the minors or LTIR than have his 4.0 count towards our cap.
