MoneypuckOverlord Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Will love to get Surrey Boy Shayne Taker. 6'4 fast skating offensive dman. Woot woot. Oh and so what's the deal with college FAs? can they just be signed whenever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronning4center Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 hmmm bolstering prospects....does anyone smell a trade coming where we give away draft picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 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...

DownUndaCanuck Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Considering our future defencemen consist of Tanev and Corrado, we need one or two of these big and physical guys. If I were Edmonton I'd pitch hard for these guys. They lack a giant on the blueline, and Schultz could use a big, physical guy to play alongside for his career.

ice orca Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Sounds like the same thought process Justin Schultz went through when he signed with the Oilers...these college kids are smart -- since the money is the same with whoever they sign, the opportunity to play becomes a significant criteria for their decision. Too bad Schultz was vilified for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Wasn't Schultz drafted? i think thats what the brough haha was about, these guys are free agents so different ball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcholic9000 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Will love to get Surrey Boy Shayne Taker. 6'4 fast skating offensive dman. Woot woot. Only the undrafted ones. But to be honest, the percentage of college free agent signings making it full time in the NHL is very low. I'm so grateful with the way Tanev is playing. There are only 2 college free agents making an impact for their team that was signed in the past 5 years, those 2 are Bozak and Tanev. Personally I have little expectations for Lain. Will love to see him succeed, I won't be surprised if it doesn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disisdayear Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Jovo stepped in and played huge right off the bat as a 19 yr old - I remember his ability (as a rookie) to handle Lindros (drilled him really nicely a couple times - his game actually changed and he became less physically dominant, but not making the point to try to contradict what you're saying - just one of the few rare players who stepped in and were physical forces from the get-go.

ccc44 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The only reason any of these guys get any attention is because every team has a shot at them , These guys at the best would be a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick in the draft . Guys like Lain and this 6'8 dman have very little chance at ever being more then a role player in the NHL at best but chances are never take a shift in a regular season game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Another one is about to win the Calder if he keeps it up. I think teams are putting more into scouting college players now so I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see more of them. Seems to be growing trend to try and find gems outside of the draft.
