I feel like this year could be a now or never for him. The situation is very preferable for Pedan this year. With the high probability of loosing Sbisa in the expansion draft and Tryamkin to his family, we are loosing a physical presence in the back end. Pedan can hopefully step up and fill out the back end. We don't have alot of grit on the backend past Guddy. This guy seems to have all the tools, the question is whether or not he can put them together and crack the NHL roster. I have a good feeling about him this year playing some games for the canucks. One would have to think that he is a early injury call up if our D core stays intact and we aren't filling gaps in the starting roster. In my mind he's a guaranteed #7 D for us next season. My guess is Juolevi and Pedan both make it. Edler-Stetcher Juolevi-Tanev Hutton-Guddy Pedan-Biega Assuming no trades but if there is a trade Id like to see another UFA signing like Kulikov or Del Zotto.

Also my guess is at least one of our D are traded this offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I have no real stats to back this up but I think this maybe Pedan's year. His size and toughness would be exactly what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Will he have to clear waivers again this year? Really hoping he makes the big squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got Hutton, Wiercioch, 200 lb Juolevi, McEneny and Holm all fighting for 1 or 2 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea... just had a look at who we have locked up. Assuming Biega gets waived... which I don't think is a guarantee... since he's a major gamer and will be coming into camp strong... there's really no way we don't see Andrey on waivers. The below doesn't even include OJ, McEneny and Holm which you mentioned. Hope we don't lose him on waivers. Edler, Alexander NTC LD NHL 31 $5,000,000 $5,000,000 UFA Tanev, Christopher M-NTC RD NHL 27 $4,450,000 $4,450,000 $4,450,000 UFA Gudbranson, Erik RD NHL 25 $3,500,000 UFA Del Zotto, Michael LD NHL 27 $3,000,000 $3,000,000 UFA Hutton, Ben LD NHL 24 $2,800,000 $2,800,000 RFA Stecher, Troy ELC RD NHL 23 $925,000 RFA Biega, Alex RD NHL 29 $750,000 UFA Wiercioch, Patrick LD NHL 26 $650,000 UFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiercioch is #7/8D left side to lose. Juolevi will be gunning for Hutton's spot in the top 6 or back to London/Europe. Holm in Utica because he can without waivers. I don't see where Pedan leap frogs many (any?) of those guys. Waivers, hopefully to Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember to claim someone, you yourself have to likely waive someone so it isn't the worry in the CAP world it once was. Think back to Corrado, once claimed how much did he play for Leafs and ultimately what happened to him? Teams are not making as many claims anymore it seems for that very reason. If there is a bottom 7/8 swap then isn't it a bit of "so what"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 @J.R. so i don't get the "meh" for Pedan? decent speed, tough, hits, etc. and defensively really in the 7/8 spot he's adequate no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between McEneny and Pedan, which has more upside? I think that's McEneny. Pedan will be a fringe NHLer, so no big loss if he's claimed on waivers. McEneny would be a big loss for our future core.

Every team has at least one #8D prospect who is *ahem* 'adequate'. Would I prefer he clears? Yes. Am I going to lose sleep if he doesn't? No. And IMO, he clears.

Biega had more NHL experience, is a natural righty (needed), can pinch in at forward and generally fits the 8d role FAR better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't think Pedan's size is as much an edge as you're thinking. Biega makes a lot of hits and even if he doesn't have the same level of fighting ability, that's offset by his dependability. By no means is Pedan a lock if he can't provide more than size.
