Postmedia’s Patrick Johnston stops by to review the entirety of the preseason and give us his yays and nays on who makes the team for Monday. PJ has hot takes on the likes of D-Petey, Mancini and Willander, plus whether the Canucks will continue their tradition of a smaller trade before the roster deadline.

I'd say no to Cootes at this point. I selfishly want him back as Captain T-Bird for this season. Slowly ease him in, maybe late in the year and keep the options open for the future. He's only 18 ffs!
So Raty dominating the face-off dot is nothing then right? OK , got it
Raty has played really well.
Patrick’s cam gave him a rather curry coloured casting.
I thought Raty has been good in the dot
Mancini over POJ all day not even close
The only takeaway from the preseason is that if things go well, then it's a confidence booster for the whole team. Otherwise, even if someone scores 10 goals in 5 games during the preseason, it's not necessarily an indicator that the results will translate into the regular season. I remember there was one year where Paul Kariya had 19pts with the Blues in some number of preseason games and I drafted him high, only to see that selection blow up in my face…
I hope our wingers are ready to fly up the ice this season. With our leadership and balance on defence I think this team can catch alot of teams off guard on transition. No fly buys going into the slot this year fight for that crucial space. GooCanuckGoo!!!
I love Raty. He played very well in the preseason. Go Canucks Go!
Cootes beat the sedins in the grouse grind of course he will make the team 😂
Raty is good player and stats don't lie, Raty makes the roster, Lekkeremeki, Karlsson, Mancini, Pettersson (D), Cootes. When they play a young team, Pettersson and Mancini 3rd pairing. Veteran club Forbert and Pettersson. Lekkeremeki gotta get some powerplay time on that left side.
The guy in the middle .must be a Florida Panthers fan.
Good lord PJ needs to stop interrupting
No Sasson what??
Respectfully disagree with the Raty take. He was not a "talking point" last game. He was excellent. He was also very good last game as well, and while he had a slow start in training camp (rightfully pointed out by Patrick that he has been recovering from injury) I think he is proving in the pre-season that he is ready for a full time 3/4C role with the big club. I also believe we'll see Mancini on the big club, rotatating with EPetey and Forbert. My bet is Willander will be sent down. Then one of Mancini or Willander used as key piece in trade for the 2C we need.
Raty rules!!! Its the year of the Rat!! Market it already
