Hosea Cheung, who writes for Canoe Sports, is Tweeting from the Canucks' skate today. He has noticed a few intriguing things already:
-Steve Bernier looks "slicker and quicker". Has he found his hands yet is my question.
-Former Canuck Dave Scatchard, who was initially traded away so we could get Felix "The Cat" Potvin, has been invited to camp. Scatchard, 33, has not played in the NHL since the 2006-07 season. He is a bottom 6 player at best. He is a center and is better known for his checking roles.
-Cheung tried to talk to Willie Mitchell about his contract status but Mitchell wouldn't bite. Willie said that he was aware of management wanting to acquire another defenceman, but also said that the current D-men are going to have to step it up.
(Edit: This post has been edited thoroughly because I misquoted Mr. Cheung about Manny Malhotra coming to training camp. My apologies.)

Manny Malhotra was just skating around, he’s not confirmed in camp. Though if he and Johnson could be on the PK together that would be a hell of a duo.
Scratch Hard? Meh, whatever. Push the vets and kids at camp I guess.

I like Mitchell’s statement that the current d-men are going to have to step it up. They all got to this level by meeting and overcoming whatever challenges they faced. It’s time to continue that climb. No resting on your laurels just because you’ve made the NHL. Nick Lidstrom doesn’t , nor should any other player.
I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.
Another correction
I think you guys misread my twitter post but…
Mitchell DID talk about Ohlund, a couple times actually, even though I never brought it up or asked him about it. Sounded like Willie missed #2. He said that when the season starts, the team will notice and miss the little things that Ohlund did on the ice. Mitchell tends to ramble on for quite a bit and can get sidetracked, which is sometimes good for quotes, but it also explains his off-topicness of Ohlund.
Just thought I’ll let you guys know. Thanks.
Dave Scatchard:
That reminds me, where the hell is Harold Druken?
(if you’re reading this Harry, I’ll kiss your feet for that OT winner against LA when
Bob Essensa was our #1, bless you Sir)
I thought Druke would amount to a lot more…

Back in 1999, when following the Canucks sucked and all I had was EA Sports, I made Bill Muckalt break all of Gretz’s records in a single season.
