The Vancouver Canucks pre-season finally wrapped up last night with an overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
Later today, the Canucks are expected to announce their final cuts and assignments to pare down their roster to their opening day line-up.
So, who do we expect to see on Thursday? Here's my prediction for the opening night line-up against the Calgary Flames.
Hodgson Won't Stick + Poolie Alert!

I know I trumpeted the second coming of Linden when the Canucks selected Cody Hodgson last year. However, with a bad back and a crowded Canucks line-up, Cody won't be staying in the big show past the nine-game limit.

The Vancouver Canucks won a thrilling shootout victory against the Calgary Flames last night at GM Place. The comeback win kept the Canucks perfect this pre-season at 5-0-0 so far.
So why does it matter?

From all accounts that was a bit of a snoozer last night in the wonderful City of Saskatoon. As much as one can’t really find too much fault with the Oilers gassing a preseason tilt, the level of intensity required to win the game certainly wasn’t on display for all the wonderful Saskatoononianites to see. And that certainly sets the effort bar rather low, wouldn’t you say?
