Honestly, not a good idea. I think they should stay and finish their college career. Give them more experience and maturity(look at Bieksa).

Im not saying put him in the CANUCKS roster. I'm saying put him on the Moose next year (EX Kesler)

Edit: Bieksa=Dman

D-man= Longer to develop

[youneedhockey101]

It really depends on how much ice time he gets. If he goes to the Moose and plays on the second or third line it may not be the best route for him. Staying for one final year in the NCAA would let him hone his offensive skills as he would be getting top minutes every game. But if the Canucks/Moose think he can come in and be an impact player on the Moose them I'm all for it.

Ellis wins 3-2, he stopped 3/4 SO attempts

Well that's the thing. Anyways, I believe I have already talked about this is the past... but....

Mason plays on a very weak team. They are not going to improve (drastically) by the end of NEXT season. He already gets TOP min. on the #1 PP and #PK. My concern is the lack of talent around him. Mason obviously is the "star" of the Minnesota-Duluth. His linemates
Bryan McGregor (22 Years OLD)
-Not Drafted

MacGregor Sharp (21 Years Old)
-Not Drafted

His linemates will most likely be career AHL/ECHL players once they are done their degree's.

If Mason was on a strong team (such as Cory's BC), I could see him develop faster, and possibility GAIN ever more confidence. Lets face it, not every player can CARRY a team. Most need a couple of other players to make them become even better EX. Sedin + Sedin Willie>Bieksa
It would be interesting to see what kind of record the UMD would have if Mason was not on it, or if Grabner had Raymond feeding him pucks

Long story short, I have heard rumours from UMD fans saying they WOULD be surprised in Raymond came back next season. Appearently, he isn't to happy about the performance of the team (wants to be on a winning team). As well as the fact that the Canuck staff has mentioned Raymond several times this year....... :twisted:

Just don't be surprised if you see him on the Moose next season

[Psycho_Path]

If Arniel (I believe that's the coach of the moose?) didn't play Raymond on the top line of the moose considering the type of points he's putting up in NCAA, he'd be a retard. That being said, I can't say much about what he's done for Hansen as far as ice time is concerned. Being on the 3rd line to improve your defensive game isn't such a bad thing, but giving him no time to actually play so that he can isn't.

I'd be excited to see what the moose could do next year pending Grabner Raymond and Shirokov come to the moose. If one of the 3 didn't come it wouldn't be such a big deal though, they'd still rip it up.

[ModoExpress]

Arniel is a joke.. well maybe the moose are doing pretty good, but i think he should be developing prospects better..

i think thats were our major prospect problems coming from(not talking about arniel)

drafting is 25% and development is 75% of future nhlers.. thats why detroit are so good

their drafting is alright.. but the way the develop their prospects is amazing

alot of their prospects come in at the age of 24 - 26.. they let the spend alot of time overseas and in the minors before they get the nod for detroit

vancouver has always had the problem of expecting too much out fo their prospects.. expecting them to play next year

anyway.. i think arniel should give more time to players who actually have a chance at making the big club rather than old career ahlers.. otherwise nonis should address this

Gero Hertle:

Very difficult to say when Rahimi's season in Sweden will be over. It could be over by the middle of next week.

There's a four-team playoff for the last spot in the so-called "Kvalserien". Bjorkloven will face Växjö in the first round. Bjorkloven finished six points ahead of Växjö in the standings, but they have lost all three regular season games against them (2-7; 0-2; 1-2). So that is a team they certainly don't like.
If they manage to advance to the second round, they in all likelihood will have to play against Västeras. Bjorkloven finished nine points behind Västeras in the standings, but they won two of the three games against them (5-0; 3-1; 3-4).

If they indeed qualify for the Kvalserien with the two weakest teams of the SEL and the three other top teams of the minor league, they would have ten more games in the Kvalserien and their season would go well until the end of March.

So Bjorkloven's season could be over by next Wednesday, or could last until the end of next month. They closed out the regular season with a 4-6-1 record in the last eleven games and don't look very sharp at the moment. So given their mediocre play in recent weeks and their bad record against Växjö, I expect them to drop out early.

[Dortmund]

Arniel gets them to win but I have been confused about his methods, like all of a sudden playing Flarehty back to back when MaC has been out playing him all season. Hansen has recovered, but I heard until the Moose lose they aren't f....ing around with the lines. YAY

i doubt that schneider will sign with us since we have louie... we should trade him for a good RW

Don't assume that Bobby Lu will resign. Remember the post-McLean era? We need a back-up plan.

High-flying Jaffray has shot at NHL deal
Canucks interested in two-way contract

by Tim Campbell, Winnipeg Free Press
ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Manitoba Moose leading goalscorer Jason Jaffray may soon be closer to a career goal -- a chance to play in the NHL.

The agent for the undrafted 25-year-old forward, who has 29 goals and a trip to the AHL all-star game so far this season, has opened contract discussions with the Canucks at the NHL team's invitation.

Jaffray, who's on an AHL contract with the Moose, could well end up with a standard two-way NHL deal and officially become part of the Canucks organization.

"I'm obviously eager to get something done," Jaffray said Thursday. "Really, it's what I've worked for all season, a contract with them. After they released me before main training camp in the fall, I made that my motivation, to prove them wrong, for the first half of the season.

"But I've tried to keep this away from games, away from the ice and if it doesn't get done, it's not going to affect the way I play."

The Olds, Alta., native, a former ECHL rookie of the year, has played on the Moose's top line nearly the entire season and has delivered. He's also been noticed by more than a few NHL scouts and there had been rumblings that other organizations were ready to talk to him at the end of the current season.

The Canucks, too, appear ready to ready to recognize Jaffray's play, and Vancouver vice-president and assistant GM Steve Tambellini said Thursday that Jaffray has earned a look.

"We've had discussions; I'm comfortable saying that," Tambellini said. "He's a good prospect and he deserves a chance to be on an NHL contract. I think he has shown solid progress, done good things in Manitoba.

"It's (important) that he has a chance and that's all players are looking for, an opportunity."

If Jaffray and the Canucks can work out a deal -- it will most likely come after next week's trading deadlines -- he'd be the fifth Moose-contracted player to be signed by the NHL team in the last two years, with Alex Burrows, Josh Green, Rick Rypien and Patrick Coulombe before him.

Sign him now and let him play on the team now...he's hot right now so let him play. Don't do what we did with Shultz and play him when he wasn't even playing well on the Moose. Who knows...Jaffray could suck next year for what we know. Squeeze as much juice out of him while we still can.

Rahimi goes +4 in regular season finale

Defensive prospect Daniel Rahimi closed out the regular season with a +4 outing in Bjorkloven's 4-1 win at Huddinge.
Despite being on the ice for all four of his team's goals, he didn't manage a point and so his last appearance on the score sheet still dates back to December 1st.

Rahimi finished the regular season with no goal and two assists in 33 games. He accumulated 104 PIM, which ranks 13th in the league. Thanks to the last game, he finished with a decent +4 in the +/- category.
He missed six games because of his participation at the World Junior Championships, was a healthy scratch four times, and missed two games due to suspensions.
When in the line-up, Rahimi bounced up and down on the depth chart, from playing several games on Bjorkloven's top defensive pairing to being hardly used as seventh defender on other occasions.

Defensively and physically, Rahimi is as good as advertised, but offensively he was a non-factor in most games and his discipline is somewhat questionable, if not to say disastrous at times.

After 14 dull appearances at the beginning of the season, he had to watch the next two games from the press box and then was out of control after returning to the ice, collecting 43 PIM over a three-game span. As a result, he got suspended and then was used as a spare defender in three of the next six games.
After the WJC in December, Rahimi vented his frustration over Sweden's disappointing performance with 29 PIM in the first two games back with his team, which earned him another suspension and a seat in the press box for two more games.
After that, he was able to keep his emotions in check and finished the regular season in solid fashion.

Bjorkloven finished the regular season with a record of 25-17-3, and now will have to emerge victorious in a four-team playoff to get the last spot in the so-called "Kvalserien" and a chance to play for promotion to the SEL.

Rahimi apparently will have the opportunity to play with the Manitoba Moose for the remainder of the AHL season once he is done in Sweden, so it will be interesting to see how the rest of the 06-07 campaign unfolds for him.

You have to remember that the Moose are a team that's trying to win something too. They aren't just for developing NHL prospects. Arniels main focus should be to win games for the Moose. If that means playing career AHLers instead of a young prospect I'm fine with that.

That's absolutely awesome...finally a shutdown dman who'll beat anyone who runs Luongo (yes, Luongo will have signed a contract extension by the time Rahimi makes the NHL) Let's just hope the instigator rule jumps up before he comes around or he'll be suspended a lot.

Is there any prospect action tonight?
