  1. He doesn't need waivers.... and he wasn't even signed yet...
  2. Wow that's a very clear and precise explanation. Thanks.
  3. Wow nice moves! Against Boston University too not some weaker opponent. Love how he celebrates his goals (or his teammates XD)
  4. Wow that SH goal was sick. Thanks for posting!
  5. Showed both Gaunce's goals. Great individual effort on both the tying and OT goals. Loved his tying goal especially.. nice feed from Shinkaruk as well.
  6. Just being in the same conversation as those 2 for the Calder is already a great accomplishment for any rookie. Especially a 5th round pick Dman.
  7. I am not 100% sure but I think McCann's situation was similar to Cassels. In his draft year, he was more relied on centering a defensive 3rd line for SSM. Due to that deployment and lack of offensive numbers, his ranking dropped a bit and was eventually picked up by us at no.24.
  8. Until Zhukenov posted similar numbers to Vey in the AHL and CHL, no way is Zhukenov better than Vey. Vey posted some amazing numbers in the CHL and respectable numbers in the AHL. Until he reached numbers close to the ones posted by Vey, no way can you statistically compare the two and say Zhukenov is a better player than Vey. What is your connection with Zhukenov? You seem to have a man-crush of some sort on him. Do you know him in person or have you seen him play a lot? Just curious to know what you seem to see in him.

    Anton Rodin | RW/LW

    Problem is we have these same Swedes with us for quite a while. If he intended to stay or if our Swedes can persuade him to stay, it will be done at that time and not now. The boat for Rodin has sailed. Wish him luck in Sweden. I know Shinkaruk and Vey and Baerschi haven't been cracked our NHL team, but realistically, they have more chance than Rodin to ever stick with Canucks in the NHL level. Rodin has played worst compared to the 3 previous players (albit in AHL in Chicago), I really don't see any initiative for him to come back and play in Utica.
  10. Being able to state your opinion doesn't mean whatever you say that is defying logic or completely without base is gonna be right.... I mean Dmitry Zhukenov might become a NHL player.. but stating he is a sure fire elite NHL player is waaaaay overboard.
  11. Thanks for posting the article. Love Gaunce. I think he will be a great middle 6 forward for the Canucks in the future and score some clutch goals for us in the playoffs when Canucks can make the playoffs as a... maybe not contender.. but at least a team that can cause some noise in the playoffs.
  12. Agree. Barkov is going to be a great 2nd line C or a more defensive minded 1C. Still remember last season watching a game where Canucks played Panthers. Was absolutely amazed at how Barkov can control the puck and keep possession in our zone. They also have Bjugstad who looks like a really good 2 way center as well. Florida's top 6 C depth looks pretty good right now and in the near future.
  13. Don't think Grenier has ever played C before so I doubt he will be a C. I don't see how Cassels will be 4C next year unless he has an outstanding camp. I think we will keep Vey has an extra forward that can slot in during injuries. I think we will re-sign Richardson to a 1-2 year contract to be our regular 4C.
  14. I agree. Lack wasn't playing well near the end of last season (although he was severely overworked) and Markstrom was coming off an average season in the AHL and his few games in the NHL. Goaltending was a very big risk for us going forward. Bringing Miller in stabilized our goaltending situation and allow us to send Markstrom down to get more playing time in the AHL. Look at Markstrom, he is playing very well in the AHL regular season and playoffs and will become at least a decent trading chip for us this upcoming draft. Although I agree signing Miller to such a long and high cap hit contract might not be the most ideal plan, people should give credit to Benning who managed to slip Markstrom (throught waivers) into the AHL and allowed him to develop back into a good goalie prospect at the minimum. People also need to remember that as average as Miller's number looked, there are a few games (esp. early parts of the season) where Miller absolutely bailed us out. At the minimum, signing Miller gave us an extra trading chip to fill some of the other bigger holes in the club. We need value other than in the form of draft picks in order to be able to get value from other teams. Sure giving up Lack (or Markstrom) might sting, but at least we can get some decent value for positions where we have a little extra depth (which is not something this organization can say about its defense and forward.)
