[Waivers] Yannick Weber


Recommended Posts

Don't see the point of this other than losing depth. Weber was under utilized and played as a 4th line forward? Never really given a fair shot.

Canucks are scoring an average of 1 goal a game all year which doubtful will be addressed anytime this year.

2.50 GFPG you might wanna either reword or rethink your post next time Canucks have averaged a goal a game for the last 4 games not all year and Weber was given a chance at the beginning of the year he really was invisible

He never really got a fair shake. I'm more curious as to what this is indicative though. We're freeing up a roster spot for something... maybe it's just a call up, but we have 13 F and 7D for the first time all season, so I'm thinking it's likely a trade.

I seem to remember Torts saying he wanted to carry 14 forwards at the end of training camp.

Lol yup nothing to see here just another useless fourth liner coming back into the line up. Mg would never waive anyone to do something interesting like make a trade. We should all know this by now. I'm sure weise could be that missing offensive piece. He is reffered as gretzky is he not? Good move mg. Can't wait to see your next move. Hopefully the next move is you on your way out so the true reset can happen.

It's just for Weise coming back. Torts prefers 14 forwards and 7 D anyway, so this is the first time he'll get the chance to run with that.

With Weber, Corrado and Stanton all capable of playing solid 15-18 minutes a game, we really could have expended one of our top-4 guys like Hamhuis, Garrison or Edler in particular for a top-6 sniper.

Well ... but we don't know what he's capable of really. He hasn't even played on D for us in the regular season. I imagine the hope here is to get him down to Utica and find out what he looks like playing real minutes, perhaps some time on the PP.

I think he has a decent chance of making it through waivers. Hoping, anyways.
