• Better Canucks forward depth means no room for Desjardins favourites Chaput and Megna

  01-10-2017 20:34 via theprovince.com
  It was called a rebuild and then a transition by the braintrust.
  How much stock you can place in either assessment was brought a little bit more into focus Sunday morning when the Vancouver Canucks placed forwards Jayson Megna and Michael Chaput and goaltender Richard Bachman on waivers. If they clear by Monday at 9 a.m., they’ll be assigned to the American Hockey League affiliate Utica Comets.

   On a recent crisp fall morning, a compact white shuttle bus rolled to a stop just off the Yellowhead Highway. Four people hastily exited and began to walk briskly toward their destinations.

  B.C. should follow California’s lead as it transitions to a legal cannabis environment and authorizes retail marijuana sales next July.
  Both jurisdictions are pot-culture capitals and are dealing with too-tight deadlines and too many nuanced problems to properly meet expectations.
