He will get a chance in the NHL at some point this year or next I'm sure. I would really doubt that he will get a chance with the Canucks because Hughes and Juolevi are cleary ahead of him.

Yes but injuries happen. He could be a call up this year as well when DelZotto/Pouliot are traded at the deadline. Rotate McEneny Sautner Brisebois and Juolevi into the NHL after the trade deadline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on how Juolevi’s defensive game develops. If Hughes is number one on the left side, that relegates Juolevi to at best the second spot on the left side, which means he is going to have to have a strong defensive game. The way Hutton is developing, he may keep that job for a while yet, or that job might be available for a strong defensive guy... like Brisebois. Time and team needs will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, also depending on the development of juolevi and Brisebois, it could open doors to moving some pieces. Is juolevi and Brisebois pan out to be solid NHL defensemen, it gives us the option to move Hutton for other assets (or move someone juolevi or Brisebois even). The more guys who can step in the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ryan Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 With Juolevi out for the year, I wonder if this will open the door just a little for Brisebois. If anything should happen to one, or both, of MDZ and Poulliot, I would hope Brisebois gets a call up to actually play (instead of a practice or two, then down again). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true, but with the way Juolevi currently plays defence, you could hardly put him out there with Hughes. So, if Hughes is first line, Juolevi would be at best second line.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Would venture a guess we see Brisebois some point this season. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we'd see McEneny but can't go wrong with Brisebois I'd actually love to see him get in and play with Gudbranson. He has exactly the skill set I think that would mesh well with him. Hutton, Tanev Brisebois, Gudbranson Pouliot, Stecher Here's a tweet BTW: Edited February 5, 2019 by aGENT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realize your kidding... but while Guddy is certainly no Hughes-esque water bug out there, he actually moves pretty impressively for a man that size. Schenn isn't even in the same ballpark (arena?)

You’d think that a 29 year old NHL player who had awesome success early on but slipped because of a slow stride would seek professional help to get those legs aligned.

Nancouver Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Good luck to breezer tonight in his nhl debut! Hopefully he can grow into a tanev replacement with that calm collected style of play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
