Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 If I understand correctly, no one drafted him thus he is available as a free-agent? Correct me if I am wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Could be risky, I didn't know we had that many contracts to spare. He's got the body, we'll see what he can do with a full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I would have thought he'd have to pass through the draft a few times to be able to be signed as a UFA. It seems like he's been eligible for 2 but I thought it'd have to be 3 years undrafted in order to become UFA, but I'm too busy to look up the details. Anyways, he certainly fits the recent trend of picking up players who are more physically NHL-ready and it seems he has a pretty decent skill-set as well. It'll be interesting to see more on him as the junior season gets going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I love these kind of signings, and the Canucks penchant for them. How much is there to lose giving a young guy like this an opportunity to prove himself? The Slide Rule Players signed to SPCs who are returned to Junior prior to playing 9 NHL games do not count towards a team’s SPC limit. Instead, those players would “slide” off the 50-SPC list while remaining on the larger 90-man Reserve List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 " He looks for the character guys " Well then did he mess up with Hodgson or did Cody's character change after the draft or after he started playing for the Nucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 'Character' aside, Cody and Evan share one thing in common: A severe injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 A blurb from Canucks Army up now, with a quote from Brock Otten of OHLProspects: I remain steadfast in my opinion that had he played this year, McEneny would be in consideration for the top two rounds of the draft. He was impressive defensively as a 16 year old rookie, and it was clear through the preseason games and the first two games of the OHL season, that McEneny had added an offensive punch to his game. He's got size, mobility, physicality, and offensive potential from the back end. But he also suffered a season ending knee injury limiting his exposure to two games this year. If I was an NHL team, I'd take a flyer on him with a 7th round pick and hope he recovers well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The only negative I'd say is too bad he's not right handed. Free prospects are always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 And Suter and Parise and Nash... We were seriously involved in both Weber and Schultz though, but at least we got Garrison where Flyers have only been able to keep their own. Imagine what shape they'd be in on D if they hadn't traded JVR for Schenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Canucks sign the best free agent defenseman on the UFA market this year, and Vancouver whines because it didn't get an RFA that no one got, or a $3.775 million cap hit rookie who demands ice time before he has even played a game in the AHL.
