Lui's Knob Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Dumb move. Played much better than ebbett . Js will likely come up when there's an injury. Why they love ebbett who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancanfan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's just bad asset management. Absolute waste to sign Barker or Vandermeer, waive them immediately and then lose them. If Ebbet sucks we can recall Schroeder. And send him back down without risk of losing them. They decided to go with the veteran. No one knows how either will perform right now and playing Ebbet might be the best choice for the team. Only way to know is wait for the games. If Schroeder got in and was terrible, everyone would complain how AV/Gillis rushed him, should've played so-and-so, lost so-and-so to waivers because of this....etc. There is no way to know who is better for the team. They went with the option with less risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Canucks should start trading all of their first round picks to win now. It's quite obvious by now that they do not want anything to do with prospect development in the Gillis era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 oh canucks.com stop crying, he will be back. For crying out loud. You guys question the moves of Mike Gillis and A.V? Silly Canucks fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 If I'm not mistaken, any bonuses are applied to next years cap, and we all know how next years cap is getting compressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disisdayear Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 He's been assigned to the Wolves. We'll see if he actually goes there. Might just be a move to get to 23 players without losing anyone to waivers. He's the only one that can be re-assigned. I have a hard time believing we'll keep Barker and Vandermeer on the roster though. We have 9 D-men right now as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilly Canuck Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Let's just fire AV and hire CDC for coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLLmAtlc Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I think this allows them to keep their options open. If they waived any of the other guys they could have been picked off by other teams, and if Schroeder has to get sent back down later they are all of a sudden short two guys. This gives Ebbett a chance to see if he can do it, and if he can't then they bring back Schroeder and risk losing one of their vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 That I agree with, I just hope when Booth is put on LTIR that he gets the call up, we need to start giving these draft choices a crack in the league, there is no way anyone can say he has been rushed, 2 years with the Moose, 2 with the Wolves, cmon.

Provost Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Ok then, I'm back to being confused. If this is the case, why didn't the team decide to send Vandermeer down? Just really puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancanfan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Isn't characterizing 11 games and 30 games as full seasons slightly misleading? He had a cup of AHL coffee in '09-'10, full AHL seasons in '10-'11 & '11-'12, and less than half a season this year. More like 2 and a half seasons in the AHL. Btw, go check out the ages and AHL games played of Detroit's young players before you go off on Schroeder's handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 AFAIK, Canucks will have Kesler and Booth on their roster to start the season, and THEN put them on LTIR. This maximizes the amount of cap relief they will get. So as soon as the paperwork for that is done, it would not surprise me to see Schroeder back on the team immediately. He may have not even leave Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Schroeder is ready now, he is more skilled than Ebbett, so maybe I can eat all my words if he is re-called back tomorrow once Booth is put on LTIR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
