Everybody Hates Raymond Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Lain isn’t the only college free agent the Canucks are chasing. They are in on Western Michigan defenceman Dan DeKeyser, who most think is going to either Tampa or Detroit. They’re interested in Andrej Sustr, the Zdeno Chara-sized blueliner from Nebraska-Omaha. And there’s Antoine Laganiere who goes to Yale. That school alone is enough right there to make the Canucks swoon. But at 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, he already looks like a pro.

Easton76 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yeah, same! Sustr is huge. Do all of these guys sign somewhere today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackberries Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 would be a big coup.. if we get sustr or laganeire. Then our prospects cupboard would be looking a bit better. crossing fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 To give an idea of his size... The guy who hugs him, number 15, is Josh Archibald. He's 5'10, and Sustr is more than a head taller than him at 6'8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 looks like DeKeyser won't be coming here.I would just be happy with Sustr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"Bull" Horvat Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 mobile defensemen name Kenny Morrison who I definitely would not mind watching if I were the Canucks. Plays on same team as DeKeyser 6'2 RIGHT shot just like Sustr but its tough, who wouldn't want a Chara sized player? Hope he realizes he'll get a chance eventually to play in the NHL if he signed with the Canucks players usually sign with teams that are in need of a slot to be filled and perhaps that player can do think of Lain, knows we seek bottom 6 centermens. perfect fit. "i'll get my chance" mentality and BOOM we sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 If I'm a UFA I look at the Canucks prospect pool and the age of the team and realize that there's going to be some opportunities here in the next couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 If we can't get DeKesyer (The best available) I would like to get Sustr and/or Taker. Lagainere wouldn't be bad either. But I want the others a tad more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"Bull" Horvat Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 ESPECIALLY Sustr. A big, physical d-man that has a right shot? He's perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 You’ll notice that while Sustr doesn’t put the puck in the net with much regularity, his assist total indicates a player with good vision and the ability to distribute the puck. Those who watched Sustr play for Nebraska-Omaha during the Ice Breaker tournament in Kansas City last weekend, surely noticed that the young man also makes an excellent first pass out of the zone, plays a calm and collected game under pressure, and skates surprisingly smoothly for a big man. He’s also capable of absolutely wiring the puck when given space, as Notre Dame goaltender Steven Summerhays found out in the championship game of the Ice Breaker tournament.

zombieksa Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 We have to be getting close to our 50 contract limit. We only have, what, 3 sliding contracts? I think this puts us at 51 contracts - 3 sliding = 48, not leaving us much wiggle room until the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
