Discussion What players would you want the Canucks to offer a tryout contract?

[LoganBattleaxe]

I'd give bud Holloway a chance. Kid has played well overseas.

[LeanBeef]

Yes, they drafted him in the 2nd round a couple years ago.

I'd also pick Aliu.

[VegasCanuck]

What's Howie Meeker doing these days?

I mean...there's been some suggestions who are almost as old as him and I miss that old "Jiminy Cricket...just shoot the puck at the net! How many times do I have to tell these kids??"

[nhartvig]

What about Mason Raymond ?

[ridehard1212]

boyes morrow.. only 2 i am interested in, and no they would not be on PTO..

[Karlsson`s Flo]

Morrow, Latendresse, and Colten Gillies.

[Monty]

Alexandre Daigle

[Brad Marschnoz]

Akim most definitely. Young with size.

[Chicken Souvlaki]

Im still hoping we sign Latendresse. I dont know why he isnt signed yet by anyone..

6'2'' 230lb and only 26 years old. Not afraid to use his size either.

Surely you guys remember how good he was on Minny of few years ago (25goals in 55games).

Top 10 goals with the Wild:

Dangles and scores vs Canucks:

Allen York, Marco Cousineau, Jamal Mayers, Stefan Della Rovere, Chet Pickard, Colton Gillies, Alex Hutchings. So most of these guys are under 25 years old other than Mayers. They still have room to improve and haven't reached their potential, I'm a fan of signing young guys as Gillis does.

[SCisnotadream]

Kyle Wellwood his hands and playoff grit might work well with say Richards . I know he's not a popular choice but he's mine .

[Bananas]

I also vote for Latendresse.

[Canucksfan3322]

Didn't the Flames resign Aliu?

It's hard to say because we don't know which players would interested in a tryout but if these players are still unsigned, I would give em a tryout

Hainsey - to push Alberts for 3rd pair spot with tanev and insurance if corrado isn't ready full time duties

Lombardi - not the player he was 3-4 years ago but in a controlled environment I think he can still be an effective bottom six checker

Steckel - doubt he will be unsigned but I'd throw him in the mix with Schroeder, gaunce, horvat, lain, Richardson and santorelli for the 3rd or 4th line center positions because the worse possible thing for the Canucks would be too rush one of our prospects

Smithson - competition for Schroeder for the 13th forward spot

Garon (just in case lack isn't ready)

NOTE: remember in recent years the Canucks give out too many tryouts and don't get to see their own players enough on the ice so I would cap it 1-2 players overall (besides a goalie)

[aqua59]

Would love to see Morrison get another shot. He played great during his last tryout, but of course MG decided to sign Schaefer over him

His best days are behind him, but he could play a good veteran depth role. Playing back in Vancouver could re-ignite his fire. Plus, Torts could possibly make him play with more intensity.

We've got nothing to lose by giving him a tryout.

[Ghostsof1915]

Ryan O'Byrne just signed in the KHL. Latrendresse would be a nice replacement for Lapierre.

[Joel Heyman]

It was the Hawks that drafted him, but he was Flames property for the last few years.

I wouldn't pick Aliu; somone I know personally played with him before and said he was a huge prick.

[Smashian Kassian]

Gagne, Eminger, Hainsey, Mueller, Connolly
