Millerdraft Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 He has still had 4 yrs in the AHL, no matter how many games. I am starting to worry about our drafting expertise when the players we draft are being sent down to start the season year after year after year. 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.

406281dylan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I rather lappy manny higgins or even alberts as 2nd line center over ebbett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's the Corrado situation all over again. What's the point of inviting the guy to camp if no matter what he does he can't make the team? **** me. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 You guys realize he can't be plucked off of waivers? It's the only move that makes sense. Ebbett would probably be scooped up. Send him down, and then call him back up shortly after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuretoMogilny Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Whomever didn't see that coming is blind. As much as I want Schroeder with the big club I knew AV would go with Ebbett. What a blow to the kids confidence though. AV is making a mistake Imo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte 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...
Mr. White Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 They should have at least given him a chance. Poor guy. I could see him being part of an upcoming trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 For the love of.... He's gonna get called up very soon, ffs. What's so hard to grasp about that?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancanfan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Do you have any actual facts to back that up? Ebbett has outscored him in the AHL on top of being much better defensively (+/-). Kassian got more points than him plus gives you physical play even if he isn't piling up points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuretoMogilny Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 As one poster astutely said, this may just be cap management, where Booth and Kes are put on LTIR tomorrow and he's 'brought back up' ...when he really didn't even go to Chi....

DeNiro 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...
boxiebrown Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 So with Booth and Kesler both still on the roster, we have 24 players - 13 forwards, 9 D and 2 goalies. So assuming Kes and Booth are both on IR as of tomorrow, that would open up an extra forward spot, which would go to the best forward available, which is Schroeder. I'm officially okay with this move, and kudos to everyone who kept a level head and pointed out that the whole thing was just smart waiver management.

Canuck Surfer Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Last year we were told that "if a player deserves to be on the team" we'll make the adjustments to put him there. Lets see if those adjustments are made? we have too many player 23 IS THE MAX for roster lineup he is not waive eglible...come on why do cdc have short term memory?
