Updated Rankings After 3 Games...
- Mayson Raymond (1) - Considering his play and how he is being used I don't see how he can lose his spot barring injury
- Jannik Hansen (3) - Great game against San Jose, looks smart, showing offensive skills, showing that he can play a two way game on 3rd line. Will now have to play his way off team.
- Matt Pettinger (2) - Solid game on a line with Wellwood and Hansen, versatility will keep him on the roster
- Jason Krog (5) - An audition on the wing... showing versatility and producing both on the scoresheet and in the faceoff circle, great hustle on his goal
- Kyle Wellwood (4) - Showing great hands, but also getting out muscled/played downlow... stock dropping fast
- Cody Hodgson (6) - Did not play in San Jose
- Jeff Cowan (7) - Played under 10min, but 1/3 of that was on the PK, fate may rest on Wellwood/Krog and whether Hodgson sticks
- Michael Grabner (8) - Did not play in San Jose
- Rick Rypien (10) - Great fight in SJ, still needs to show more than just a physical game if he wants to make team
- Mike Brown (9) - Has a future just not now, physical game and skating are good, too many vets in front of him at this point, played under 10min against SJ but did get a little PK time
- Jason Jaffray (11) - Reminded people that he does have skill... is it enough for the nhl? Not right now.
Rankings are a combination of how they've been playing and how coaches have been using/commenting. Five forwards should make the team assuming Canucks carry 14 forwards.
