NuxFan09 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Just curious, what is the sense around here: who do you think will play out their NHL rookie status (25 reg. season games) first, Connauton or Corrado? I think that's when the Canucks gave Tanev his number 8. Who earns the 6? I think Connauton will be the first to taste NHL action but ultimately Corrado will beat him to the 25 game mark. Connauton will likely be the first call-up kind of guy for awhile but I think when Corrado gets the call he'll be in Vancouver to stay. I could be way off, though.

Smashian Kassian Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Doubt it. McEneny and Murphy are probably the shutdown pairing. BTW Fanelli's the guy who came back from this after two years: Resilient and inspiring. Definitely deserves that letter he has on his sweater. Did you really just use Murphy and Shutdown pairing in the same sentence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too, his game is alot more well rounded than Connaution's, which would be the reason Corrado might beat him out, the only way I could see it otherwise is if Corrado takes longer to get adjusted to & comfortable with the pro game and needs to stay in the A for awhile, other wise I could see him shooting up our depth chart sooner rather than later.

NuxFan09 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 By the way, I say that as one of Connauton's biggest fans. He's one of my favourite Canucks prospects and I really want him to succeed, which is why I've been hoping he improves his defensive game. His shot and offensive tools make him an intriguing player who I'm looking forward to seeing in a Canucks jersey sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Corrado is better than Connauton, but we arn't going to rush him into the league when we have solid D men who can do the grind for us currently. Corrado will be top 4 for sure and he will be an asset for us for a long time. He just keeps getting better! Connauton will get the call up as soon as we need a D guy to fill an injury or play a game so our top guys can rest with this hectic schedual. Stoked to see what we get back from TO as well in the Luongo deal seems like kadri and bozak plus a second is the going trend... I'd rather leave kadri and take first rounderthough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I would love to see Spotts face if Corrado came to Canucks camp and made the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I would love to see Spotts face if Corrado came to Canucks camp and made the team. Me too, It's very unlikely but could u imagine this guy 1st makes a boneheaded move cutting him from Team Canada, then Team Canada goes and the defense is revealed as a huge weakness, THEN he trades for the guy. Then he makes our team. Again it is very very unlikely, but man would he make Spott look terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it happens because the job he did in UFA was terrible... every time the camera was on him it looked like he didn't know wtf he was doing.

Nucks-4-Life Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 These last few weeks have been great for Corrado's development. -Goes into WJC training camp and realizes he can hang with the best in the country (feeling great) -Gets cut by the coach (feeling sad) -Gets acquired by the coach's team most likely under his advisement (feeling great again!)

elvis15 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 ^ Definitely a possibility. He might just have preferred a different mix between the WJ squad and the one on the Rangers though, and he'd get more opportunity on a D that isn't an all star roster.

Joel Heyman Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Another assist for Frankie, +2 still. Thanks for all the updates Hansen 36. Givin' me the night off! No problem haha, I do some updates whenever I'm watching our prospects or stat tracking, did some for Jensen and Corrado's OHL games last year.

I'd say Frankie is probably 3-4 years away yet at least. Kcon will probably play that many games just due to injuries even if he doesn't stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
