Ossi Vaananen Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks 4m4 minutes ago #Canucks sign forward Joseph LaBate. Release on homepage. Looks like he impressed on his PTO with Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 OK? what about Subban and Griener! Why does Benning keep signing us grinders, seriously, because I don't see Joseph Labate ever being a top 6 in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Mulder Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 OK? what about Subban and Griener! Why does Benning keep signing us grinders, seriously, because I don't see Joseph Labate ever being a top 6 in the NHL. Did you miss the interview where Benning said he was going to try and sign Subban in the summer? I feel like this has been beaten to death already.

Most likely a fourth line player (if even that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this has been beaten to death already. When did he say this? This was how long ago, Subban should of been signed by now. It is concerning that's all.

TOMapleLaughs Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 In before this becomes about how omg Subban hasn't signed. Oh. (If Tanev gets pounded into the boards every shift in the playoffs, then how do you think Subban will fare here?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 It's like you want to sleep with Subban. Relax. You do realize Subban has the most potential out of all our D-men right now. So losing Subban will be a huge loss for our defence because Subban can be easily a Krug. You can crack your witty jokes all you like but not signing Subban will be a huge loss for this franchise going forward. He is a special and unique talent.

Tiger-Hearted Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I was getting concerned about LaBate. However, hopefully, he can develop his offensive skills in Kalamazoo and in Utica. If he makes the Comets next season, that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 In the games I saw with LaBate in a comets jersey he impressed. He's a C which Utica lacks right now. He seems to bring a solid two way game, he's an excellent skater that can be relied upon. 6'4" isn't too shabby either. He'll get a chance to develop with the Comets now. I don't see him spending any time in the ECHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
