Canucks Drop Multiple Huge Last Minute Updates...

The Vancouver Canucks give us multiple huge last-minute updates heading into their game versus the Carolina Hurricanes as Manny Malhotra makes multiple changes to the lineup and roster while one player looks to continue his early season dominance. We're going to break down everything you need to know heading into the game versus the Carolina Hurricanes as the Canucks make roster and line changes while also looking at Pedersen's dominance and what it means moving forward for the franchise we're going to break down all this and so much more in this episode you're not going to want to miss it but hey before we get into it if you're proud of the 59% watching this right now and you haven't hit that pretty subscribe button just make sure to go down and hit it it means a complete world and we're so close to our goal of 10,000 subscribers plus completely free and you get to stay up to date on everything to do around the Canucks so let's just dive straight into it where the Canucks have made changes to their lineup heading into their game versus the Carolina Hurricanes to start of course a very long stretch of road games now with the Canucks heading into their game versus the Carolina Hurricanes they did make some changes with throughout the lineup Atiratu stepping in on the fourth line thank god we finally got him back into this lineup but also making multiple other changes where fans were a little concerned but listen there's so much to look at now looking at the forward group Jake DeBrusk is projected to land on the top line with Pedersen and Lekromackie after returning from the flu and being held out of their last game. Following on, Paul Cotter with Marco Rossi and Brock Besser, Liam Algren, Max Sasson, and Linus Carlsen, Baines, O'Connor, and Ratu. Now, of course, looking at the Canucks and the changes on the forward position with Ratu coming in and, of course, Jake DeBrusk stepping in, there's more changes on the back end to continue through. Zivoy with Bill Pronik, we've seen it all season, Jamie Lekar with Tom Vlanner but now Victor Mancini stepping in with DPD and Lankin expect the start now with this Canucks team with Brendan Gallagher who's been a little less than desired when it comes to on ice production and listen I'm a huge advocate for what he brings to this team but of course getting the veterans break between Brendan Gallagher and Luke Shen makes sense and continuing through with Victor Mancini stepping in, the Canucks have started the season a lot better than fans have expected and Paul Gatter has said it perfectly people wrote us off and we're here to prove them wrong and yes I know two and two doesn't seem like the greatest record around the NHL but when looking at the Canucks, of course a rebuilding season you want to get a top pick but this is competitive fun hockey which of course is all you can ask for in the midst of a rebuild now looking at the Carolina Hurricanes, two one and one and of course coming off a Stanley Cup championship which we hope we get someday in Vancouver, there's going to be some shifts within the roles of this team heading into the game Jake DeBrusk takes a top line wing spot with Jonathan Lekar Mackie on the wing and Peaty in the middle, Rossi returns for the center position with Paul Gatter and Brock Besser, Mirko Rossi looks great with Pettersson over the stretch playing on his wing, Liam O'Gren joins Carlson and Sadsen Baines joins O'Connor and Rob too with Gallagher sitting and Mancini replaces Shen next, it's DeBrusk now looking at Jake DeBrusk and joining this team of course a very snake bitten person and someone that had one of the historically worst shooting percentages of all time last year I believe five on five it was sub four percent but with Jake DeBrusk returning of course adding him to this group you're now looking at the switch up with Brendan Gallagher coming out and of course it's not a one-for-one replacement Gallagher is now playing on the top line the Canucks do add quite a bit when you're comparing the two with Gallagher last season where Jake DeBrusk gives you extra goals games points a game shots on goal and of course looking at the giveaways a game sitting at 0.54 it is more than Jake DeBrusk, or sorry Gallagher but now you're looking at a team that is adding of course another goal scorer next to Pedersen where you're hoping this gets back to a tiny bit chemistry and hopefully Jake DeBrusk is on snakebitten because again an incredible player that was deemed as a streaky guy for most of his career but the pros of adding Jake DeBrusk to this team is of course getting in someone that's elite on the power play where almost all of his goals came from last season sitting fourth in the NHL with 19 power play goals just last year with a total I believe of 21 22 goals whatever it might be but looking at of course what you're getting is a power play guy and another winger that can fill into the top of this lineup after again a down season and we see in the comments of not wanting to be a part of a rebuild which he immediately the next day said that is not what I meant and of course going into the season where he said he's committed to be with this team getting him next to Pedersen is hopefully going to unlock a second part of Jake DeBrusk and maybe Petey continues thriving now looking at Pedersen against the Hurricanes where we understand we want another game from Petey like we've been seeing looking over the stretch of course losing four in a row from 2025 to 2024 and 23 of course back-to-back wins for the Canucks completely different team but looking at Pedersen over his last two games versus Carolina stating back to last season two assists with two points and of course the game after that one goal one assist shooting 100% but losing both one and overtime this is going to be a good test for the Canucks and of course going in with Pedersen riding a hot streak shout out to everyone including myself that took Pedersen in their fantasy drafts because that guy's been incredible but looking at the shots on goal and the for Pedersen in recent form we know that he's continuing to pick it up and the last three average is almost two per game diving into Pedersen the chances have went up on his points shots on goal and ice time has jumped nearly a minute for the centerman as he's had that resurgence career and looking at the swaps I do think Jacob Russ is going to finally get it going bringing more shot production from last season of course Gallagher's hitting and lower giveaway right but again it's not a one-for-one swap with one guy in the bottom six coming out and a top six guy coming in but I want to know your guys thoughts down in the comments first on Jacob Russ getting in do you think this will help PD unlock a new potential are we going to see Jacob Russ unlock a new potential with the way Pedersen's been playing let me know your thoughts down in the comments but of course the replacement coming in for Luke Schenn is none other than Victorio Mancini stepping in for a season debut with the Canucks with of course a veteran getting a break heading into a long stretch of road games now looking at Mancini versus Schenn just last season Luke Schenn is a veteran that's had more ice time more experience hits per game is the biggest thing sitting at three compared to Mancini's 1.2 block shots a game dead even at that rate giveaways per game Mancini's sitting in a better percentile but again younger guy is not going to get a tough matchup like we've seen with Luke Schenn and again I love having Luke in the lineup but looking at the hard minutes that Victor Mancini did put in 28 hits in his in 1.17 a game block shots giveaways takeaways I'm excited to see him cement himself into this lineup and make it hard for of course looking at Mancini moving forward because again looking looking at Luke Schenn and what he's brought an incredible start to his second round with the Vancouver Canucks two assists a plus four nine hits it in the top 11 percent when it comes to the entire NHL nearly 13 minutes 12 and a half a game Luke Schenn is exactly what you expect a hard-nosed defenseman that stands up for his teammates which again is going to be hard to fill and I wonder if Mancini is going to step into a similar role and say hey I want to be in this lineup I'm going to do what it takes and again Mancini getting his first opportunity of the season with Schenn strong hitting production coming out I think we're going to see Mancini hit a second gear when it comes to the physicality the production and again a guy fighting to stay within the roster a young piece that is a limited sample size but again it's going to be a test for DPD and of course Victor Mancini against a very experienced and Stanley Cup winning team when it comes to Carolina but of course with Carolina and i'm not going to dive too much into the lineup because who gives a ---- about Carolina at this point pardon my French this is a team that of course is coming off the Stanley Cup and wanting to prove points throughout the season of course looking at the lineup we know a stacked team that is capable of winning but looking i again i'm not counting this Canucks team out where you're looking at of course needing to fix up their dangerous chances against with Kevin Lankin and being left out to dry a lot of these games but looking at the high danger the medium danger and low danger the Canucks are not sitting good in the lower percentile when it comes to everyone and hence why they've allowed the most goals against per game but hey sitting in the top five when it comes to goals for this is going to be a fun team with Kevin Lankin and taking the goal and of course Merrill Linen has been outstanding but you need to continue riding your veteran guy you have him signed for this reason and of course Merrill Linen is looking to continue to develop throwing him to the wolves against Carolina it's probably not the great plan but fans i want to know your thoughts let me know your thoughts on everything to do around the Canucks heading into their game there's so much to look at i mean of course the special teams with Jake DeBruss stepping in we have Kevin Lankin and starting at of course uh is starting in net there's
