Thought No.4: Time to Cave to the Injury Gods?

Dan Hamhuis came back from a shattered face, and we got another one just like that. Sutter is out indefinitely with a fractured jaw.

So is it Jared McCann time? Wonder if Adam Cracknell gets a shot with Jannik Hansen and Derek Dorsett on the fourth line. Either way, Sutter is out long term again.

It will be Cracknell tonight against the Arizona Coyotes.

So is Alex Edler.

This has got to be disheartening for the Canucks. When Edler last had a major injury (back), he was never the same player coming back. Wonder if this gives a reason to trade him for Travis Hamonic+.

Just spitballin’ guys. Please don’t grill me.
