DianaHOST
4:46
Wow, that's seven players on injured reserve alone, plus Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is listed as out.
Steve ForneyHOST
5:51
And so I think, honestly, even though it hasn't worked itself out yet, I think that we are a better team.
Steve ForneyHOST
5:57
I mean, than we were heading into last season, right? I don't, I mean, you know, losing, you know, Akil Thomas hurts, you know, Bortolo hurts, McGing hurts, right? But like, I just feel so much better about this roster heading into this season than I did heading into last season, which obviously is very easy to say in hindsight.
Steve ForneyHOST
6:15
But I'm what I'm kind of looking at are the other teams.
Steve ForneyHOST
6:19
Right.
David QuadrelliHOST
48:58

David QuadrelliHOST

McEachern.
Clay ImooHOST
27:13
all right all right all right all right let's go to my mitchell sponsor read and then i will get into your comments but i'll probably probably not gonna bounce back i'll probably ask you to to retype starting now and then we got uh one more clutch connections game over time and anything else that we can fit in All right.
Tyson ColeHOST
4:15
Anyway, let's go to training camp, Dave.
Tyson ColeHOST
4:17
Um, couple guys, Demko, Lucian Bernat, and Akil Thomas, I think they, they skated by themselves before either of the groups came out.
Tyson ColeHOST
4:27
We saw that, uh, a little bit last year, the injured guys, I believe it was Chase Waters and, uh, Ty Mueller kind of skate before everybody.
Tyson ColeHOST
4:34
Um, so-

Tyson ColeHOST
50:51
Like, how are you gonna find consistently, uh, consistency? How are you gonna develop if your situation keeps changing? It's hard to do that, right? So in saying that, if he does not completely knock the d- wheels off, knock the doors down, and make the NHL roster, then he's gonna start in the AHL, and he's gonna be given a long leash to be able to do so.
Tyson ColeHOST
51:12
And then who knows? Maybe after like 50 games, 60 games, they're like, "Okay, this guy's got 30 goal, thir- 30 to 40 goals.
Tyson ColeHOST
51:20
Now we can bring him up." That's why I think if there's an injury or something, that's where you see a Trey Fix Wolanski, a Akil Thomas, a Matthew Steinberg, that they're gonna get the call-up rather than some of the young guys like him and Coutts.
Tyson ColeHOST
51:34
Um, so I think there's actually a chan- like a pretty good chance that we'll see one of those, one of those other tweeners that we, uh, that we saw the Canucks bring in this off-season over a guy like Coutts or, or Lekkerimäki to start.
David QuadrelliHOST
10:08
Uh, 31 goals with Hartford last year in the AHL.
David QuadrelliHOST
10:11
They signed him to a two-way deal, him and Akil Thomas.
David QuadrelliHOST
10:14
They signed him, tho- those two guys, in free agency.
David QuadrelliHOST
10:17
Uh, five foot seven.
Clay ImooHOST
4:47
So training camp has started.
Clay ImooHOST
4:52
And Akil Thomas was a surprise.
Clay ImooHOST
4:55
We didn't hear that he wasn't ready to go, but he is still recovering from injury.
Clay ImooHOST
4:59
So he did not make it today.
Matt SekeresHOST
25:22
He was out early, and J. Pat got video of him here just going through some light paces.
Matt SekeresHOST
25:30
He was on the ice with Akil Thomas.
Matt SekeresHOST
25:34
Thomas is a centerman that came over from the Kings organization.
Matt SekeresHOST
25:40
And of course, uh, the Vancouver Canucks with, uh, r- um, promoting Ryan Johnson from Abbotsford GM, uh, had to go about replacing Ryan Johnson as Abbotsford GM.
Matt SekeresHOST
25:56
And they hired Richard Seeley from the LA Kings organization, who has a good book on Akil Thomas.
Matt SekeresHOST
26:01
He's been nicked, and so he's not starting with the main groups, either.
Matt SekeresHOST
26:05
He's played NHL games.

Jeff PatersonGUEST
97:23
Uh, who knows? So, um, ultimately you've got veterans.
Jeff PattersonCORRESPONDENT
15:12
You've got, you know, the AHL guys, the guys that signed as free agents.
Jeff PattersonCORRESPONDENT
15:16
And, you know, a tough, uh, day one for Akil Thomas, who signed with the Canucks as an F guy, but has some NHL experience, but, uh, nursing a, a nagging injury that goes back to last season.
Jeff PattersonCORRESPONDENT
15:27
He was out on the ice with Thatcher Demko, uh, before the groups.
Jeff PattersonCORRESPONDENT
15:30
He's not listed in either of the groups here today.
Jeff PattersonCORRESPONDENT
15:32
And so Akil Thomas starting behind the eight ball certainly, uh, in terms of trying to make an impression and make a bid for, uh, a spot on the big league roster.
Jeff PattersonCORRESPONDENT
15:42
And we'll have to see when he's able to join the main group, uh, at some point here, either at camp or in the preseason.
Matt SekeresHOST
15:48
Uh, also in group A is Brooks Sagawski and Memorial Cup hero Gabe Dorrit.
