The NHL season opened up in the Pre-Season, and the Canucks were ready to go. Before the preseason started however, I made my first move on the job, trading away veteran d-man Kevin Bieksa(84 overall) and 2013 first and third round picks to the NY Rangers for offensive d-man John Moore(74 overall), a young guy with a great shot.
A goalie battle will take place in preseason for the back up to Roberto Luongo, as Johan Hedberg will take games 1 and 3, and Eddie Lack will take 2 and 4.
The Canucks fell in Game 1, 1-0, as Avalanche goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere posted a 31-shot shutout. Game 2 was also squandered away as the Canucks lost 2-1, as Jordan Schroeder's 1st period goal went for naught in the first preseason home game. Game 3 was an overtime thriller as Henrik Sedin and Niklas Jensen both scored, but a fluke goal from the Oilers resulted in a 3-2 loss in OT. Game 4 was a match up of winless teams, as the Wild would host the Canucks. The Canucks offense sputtered as another loss was taken, 3-0 the final score.
The preseason is over, and the rooks hanging with the team will be Nicklas Jensen and Christopher Tanev, as Zach Kassian, John Moore, Eddie Lack, and Jordan Schroeder will be sent down to the minors. Depth moves were made, as we traded Steve Pinizotto to Boston for a 2013 fourth round pick, and Sawyer Hannay to Anaheim for a 2013 fourth round pick, and signed Brett Lebda to a 2-way deal and attempted to sign Samuel Pahlsson to 2 year, 1.315M dollar contract.
Thanks for stopping by! Regular season is up next.
