VAN's 2014 1st rounder (24th overall) Jared McCann will not participate in Penticton rookie tourney. Sidelinedwith mononucleosis.
that's too bad. Must be hard on a kid who's been drafted early on not being able to take part in these events catered to showcasing a team's fresh new prospects.

"It is what it is, I never expected to be drafted by Vancouver". I still laugh.

Crap I forgot about Wolf, he wasn't on the official site listing. But he's on other rosters, so I'm guessing should be there. They have to flip one or two of these LWs in order to fill up the right side. Strength down the wings is very unever as is...
Gaudreau - Bennett - Smith
Klimchuk - Granlund - Wolf
Ferland - Arnold - Agostino
Brabant - Elson - Jooris
would make for an interesting lineup with plenty of beef and intimidation up top as well as depth and experience in the bottom 6.

Yeah, I think he was pretty busted up and missed a lot of games so it isn't really fair to hold that against him. When healthy he was very good.
Ridiculously stoked for this tournament! The only crappy thing is waking up at 6 tomorrow to drive to Penticton, but that's ok. It'll be worth it!
Try getting up at 3 am just to drive to an airport to catch a plane to to get here in time for wine tours.....worth it? YES! Safe travels...... #Go Flames Young Stars!

Loved what I heard from Ferland. Sounds like he's taken steps to rectify some things off the ice. You can see that he's matured a bunch. I have a real good feeling about this kid.

Yeah, it was nice to hear him say he wants to be the best player in the tournament. It's good to hear that level of confidence from one of our players. He might have a good shot at making the team this year, because that's exactly the kind of attitude we need in the locker room.
