Yup. The Canucks (unlike the Flames) will have room for him in the lineup to start the season. They
need to take the risk.
And I wouldn't be surprised if he has some early season success in Oct/Nov when the vets coast and the young guys dominate.
But by Christmas, they will be debating what to do with him.
