Canucks

Sarah McLellan of the Star Tribune says the Wild were starting to fit pieces together, with Kevin Fiala and Alex Stalock playing key roles. Sarah says experience is a strength for the Wild, with a veteran team, and wonders if that will be a factor - not getting too phased with uncertain situations - in this return

Jim Benning gets into the Canucks play-in matchup with the Wild, says it's great for the younger players to get some intense playoff-style matches, and admits - with the 14-day quarantine - the Canucks are considering holding camp in the US

Kevin Woodley from In Goal Magazine says Alex Stalock was seeing the majority of the important starts for Minnesota, and suggests the Canucks will be preparing to see him in the play-in round. Kev sees the level of play being close to Jan/Feb hockey, which is when teams often start to ratchet up the intensity and pay more attention to the defensive side of the game

Thomas Drance of the Athletic Vancouver suggests players will be more willing to take bridge contracts, as they see the financial uncertainty the league is suffering from the Covid situation. Drancer gets into Jim Benning's penchant for signing older players...including rumblings Dave Bolland was once a target of the Canucks

The Athletic’s Harman Dayal says Jim Benning’s tenure can be broken down into three phases. Harman says it’s a bit exaggerated that Benning was completely handcuffed by what Mike Gillis left him. Harman also there was the phase when Benning tried to accelerate the rebuild but that it’s also hard to argue with his drafting in the more recent years.
