John Garret's moustache Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi guys, I'm not as in touch with the farm as I wish I could be... but I was just wondering when Schroeder will be ready for the big club, he's made it clear that his size isn't a factor, and he's been putting up great numbers in the AHL for a few years now. I'm pretty amped for him to come up to the big club... but I'm not really in the know with the Wolves enough to know when thats going to be realistic. So what do you guys think?

Niloc009 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 This upcoming season. However, whether he makes the team is a different story. I can see him being sent down for one more year, just for him to be more defensively responsible and offensively dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I don't think that Schroeder will be playing on our roster anytime in the foreseeable future. He is not as good as Hodgson was, and he is tiny... which goes directly against what MG talked about in getting bigger. On a team with a bigger set of top 6 forwards, Schroeder may have a chance... but I don't see it with ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 i wont put a date on him until he has a solid season in the ahl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels22 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 It seems that all our offensive prospects and draft picks never play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 He might be ready right now, however, if he hasn't got a spot to play up here then it's better that he stay in the minors. About the only real advantage in playing Schroeder as a 3rd line center is to showcase his talents on the chance that he gets traded, kinda' like what Pittsburg is doing with Staal. regards, G.

Grapefruits Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Schroeder will get a chance next year but I don't see him really being ready until the 2013-2014 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels22 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Except Kesler, Burrows, the Sedins, Edler, Bieksa, Hansen, and Raymond.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 One more solid off season of training with Parise then he should be good to go for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Pretty sure only the Sedins and Raymond(barely) are offensive out of your list.. the rest are two way players.. I said "offensive" (Shirokov, Grabner, Hodgson, etc...) Atta girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnycanuck46 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 He'll be ready as soon as MG packages him for a goon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels22 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yep... Burrows at 35 goals, Kesler at 41 goals... and Edler who was 7th in league scoring for defence don't count as offensive players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorrcoq Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm thinking either (1) never, or (2) if he makes the lineup some day, you're really not going to like that year's team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirteen Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Burrows, Kesler, Edler, Bieksa, Hansen all play on the PK and are shutdown players, no? Once again, I said "offensive" players.. Those are two-way players. They bring more to the table Nice job though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorrcoq Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Those players like Grabner were lazy which is why we gave up on him and Florida. NYI was his last chance so he smartened up but he never really bought into AVs system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahf149 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hey Wheels22, Your making it sound like its bad that Burrows, Edler, and Kesler bring more to the table than offensive players. Maybe the reason why offensive minded players arent sticking with the team is because the Canucks want more dynamic players on their team. There are very few NHLers now that succeed in the NHL as only offensiveminded players...There are SOME, but they are elite. Even Ovechkin has been told to be more defensive minded.....The Canucks want to develop Schroeder to play more defensively, as well keep his offensive skill....*shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels22 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Wow.. I'm so sorry everyone.. I can't dumb it down for you guys any more than that.. If you can't understand what I'm saying, you guys are screwed... yikes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
