Ihatetomatoes Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Most nights Yann plays on the line with Nathan Beaulieau and they play mostly against other Top Lines. Yann isn't a fan favorite here in Saint John, in fact most nights I get crap for wearing his jersey. The Saint John fans love the young guys like Beaulieau and Gagne. They say here that Yann doesnt use his size enough, he doesnt hit, but if you watch the video on YouTube posted by the Canucks he hits everything in his way. He was on fire at the start of the season, and has somewhat fallen the 2nd half. The polls on the sea dogs site to me are meaningless, its all about who the fans love. Some people also question his play, but everyone is entitled to make a mistake here and there, and Despres his team-mate makes plenty more turnovers and mistakes than Yann has this year Good stuff, thanks. Nice to hear about his play from someone that actually gets to watch him. Its welcome anytime, always fun to hear game reports about up and coming Canucks prospects. Sounds like he's got some great potential but also has a lot of aspects to his game to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Situation Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Ok. riddle me this. Yann is up for the top defensive D man award in the Q and has decent offensive numbers....yet Sea Dog fans vote him 4th best on his own team. How do you as a Sea Dog fan explain the discrepancy? Stupid fans or is there more to it? Also, what kind of defensive assignments does Yann usually face? Is he up against the top line most nights? He is like their version of Willie Mitchell. Most of his plays are critical to team success but otherwise go under the radar. Goals ans assists obviously get the most attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast47 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 3rd PEI goal was questionable!! But whatever means nothing after we score 8. Yann had a goal and +3 as mentioned above. Had 4 penatly minutes and an alright scrap but it wasnt the best Ive ever seen him do lol. He had a turnover in his zone but luckily nothing came of it. Hope Yann and the team can keep on rolling like this and we'll be headed to Mem cup :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Sauve just destroyed a guy. Unfortunately it was from behind, and sauve got a 5 and a game for his troubles. That's the end of his night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast47 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I was on the Island for both games, but that hit last night deserved 5 mins but not a game...it woulda been a good hit, but at the last second Jared Struthers turned as Yann went to hit him...Struthers layed on the ice for a few until Yann got a game misconduct, then got up and was back on the next shift durin the 5 minute power play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnickers87 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Sauve strikes me as a future Defensive D-Man+. In the sense that he won't be a big offensive producer, but can still skate and move the puck pretty well. I could see him consistently putting up 20 - 25 points, with maybe a career year of 30 put in there. But that's fine, because it will be the job of his D-Partner Connauton to put up the big numbers.

Canuckee Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Anyone know whether has yet to to be signed to an ELC or has already been and when did it take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnickers87 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Anyone know whether has yet to to be signed to an ELC or has already been and when did it take place? I think he already signed his ELC last off-season but I could be mistaken. EDIT: Capgeek has nothing and i found this http://telegraphjournal.canadaeast.com/rss/article/930219 It's from January and says he is unsigned. I'm quite he surprised he has not been signed yet. It now means his ELC cannot slide 1 year if he plays his entire first pro season in the AHL, since he didn't sign it before turning 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have had an automatic slide THIS season, but not next season. since he isn't signed yet, it's a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he will turn 20 by end of calendar year that starts the season, his contract becomes ineligible to slide? Because for example, Grabner signed his contract after his first training camp, played 1 more year in the WHL then turned Pro. Next year will be his 4th year of Pro hockey, but only 3rd year on deal. So factor that in with the 1 year of WHL and his contract has slid 2 years. His first pro season was 07/08 and he turned 20 in October of 2007, but his contract still slid 1 more year. (but contract was signed at 18) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesy_shoes Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Anthony has had another disappointing season.. was also scratched for playoff games. I'm not all that disappointed. He's a 7th rounder and he was doing well at the beginning of the season. I don't think anyone has given up on him. Good 7th round pick for the Canucks, IMO. What would it have taken for you not to be disappointed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have high hopes for the kid and hopefully he comes over to the moose in the 11/12 season cause he already signed an extension for one more season (10/11). And at end... hes a 7th round pick anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
