Believe it or not, the Canucks are now 75% complete their preseason schedule. That means some tough decisions need to be made by Alain Vigneault and the Canucks coaching staff, and they need to be made soon. There are only two games left before a long list of players on the bubble will find out where they will start the 2010-11 season. That list includes most notably Cody Hodgson, Brendan Morrison and Jeff Tambellini.
Who’s in?
The Canucks will start the year with Alex Burrows and Sami Salo on the injured reserve and may carry 22 or 23 players. I’m guessing they will try to carry 23 players: 13 forwards, 8 defensemen and 2 goalies. With that said, lets see how their lineup projects with the players who are practically guaranteed a spot:
