What's New

Couple of things happened this week in the Canucks world. Some big, some small, but let's dive in.

Lineups from last practice:

Sedin-Sedin-Kassian
Raymond-Schroeder-Weise
Higgins-Burrows-Hansen
Lappiere-Malhotra-Volpatti

So you can already make some assumptions from that, but here we go:

 - Schroeder recalled from the Wolves. Practiced today with the Canucks
 - Weise and Kassian impressed AV enough to be considered for 1st and 2nd line rolls

I'm a little skeptical about Burrows starting on 3rd line center. Higgins was drafted as a center man in 2002, and would seem the likely candidate to play that position.

Jim Vandermeer was put on waivers, and is apparently so awful that no one claimed him. He's now down playing for the Wolves.

Also big news: Gillis said in an interview last night that a trade has been lined up for Luongo, but that it's not what we expect. Whether that means in terms of teams he could go to, or players to be traded for remains unknown.
