Over the past weeks, there has been constant talk about how each line and defensive pairing could shape up for the Vancouver Canucks. They finally have several options for every position, so it will be hard to build a lineup each game. Everybody wants to play, but only 20 players can.
I posted some possible line combinations on The Canuck Way to talk about specific players, but always ended it with “player A can also slot in for player B and C can play instead of D”. In other words, I never made real predictions for who will miss the most games as a healthy scratch.
