Popular Post Mathew Barzal Posted April 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Ridiculously happy with this signing. It's about time we had a playmaking oriented defenseman with the skillset to back it up. Courtesy of LucBourdon ala HFboards You're up next Drake.

Bissurnette Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 That made Larsen a little redundant. Good internal competition to see who get's the #6 spot and 2nd pp time. Stetcher might have to spend some time in the A first. Wonder what Subban makes of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bissurnette Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Just now, Junkyard Dog said: More competition. Will push all 3 players to bring their all next preseason and throughout the year. Exactly. Although I think the competition will be more between Larsen and Stecher. Subban might have a harder time keeping up with the 2. He could use another year in the A, but I see him making a really good run at it in 2017-2018. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderTwinPowers Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Wait so this guy could have signed anywhere! and decided to come to Vancouver!? Alf's head must not know what to make of this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 So who stays on the bug club between Biega, Larsen, and Stecher? Or are we expecting Stecher to be at Utica for a bit? Edler - Tanev Hutton - Tryamkin Sbisa - Biega? Pedan - Larsen? Stecher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) ^^ Biega and Larson both will be waiver eligible, so they'll have the head start coming into camp. Maybe one doesn't play well or Stecher really outperforms them, but expect Stecher to have a couple years in Utica. Good to see he signed, even if he'll need some development time to become a proper NHL'er. He does have talent but isn't necessarily an elite offensive option who'll make it on that alone. His work ethic will carry pretty well so if he can compete at the raised level then he'll have a chance. Edited April 13, 2016 by elvis15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my guess, if anything just to avoid losing Larsen on waivers and avoid another Frankie Corrado overreaction from the media and fans.

Have to give Benning credit. Nice signing -- good prospect and a local kid. A bit small for the NHL but high skill and is a solid prospect, especially as he is a right shot. Should definitely help Utica next year. Very pleased to see this signing. And I listened to Boeser's interview on TSN 1040 yesterday. Not much doubt he will sign after next year. Wonder if the Canucks will also sign Caggiula. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Larsen or Biega on the right. Sbisa gets traded. Tryamkin on the left side. Stecher on year one starts in Utica, unless he has an insane camp. Pedan number 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Toe Drag Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hopefully, with Stech and Boeser now Canucks a culture of UND players being farmed for Vancouver begins. We're definitely one of the franchises young players probably give a good hard long look at when it comes to signing seeing we have so much opportunity for young players to make the jump. Great Sign, plus 1 GM JB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember at the press conference Benning mentioned Larsen will help the PP unit next year which sounds like they think Larsen will make the club next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler Tanev Hutton Tryamkin Sbisa Larson Pedan Biega Not sure what they do with Hamhuis. Maybe they sign him and plan on waiving whoever of Larson, Pedan and Biega play the worst at camp.

RyIe Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Not at all surprised that Stetcher chose the Canucks over the Oilers. He was an integral part of UND's backend this season and I think he see's himself developing into a top 4 guy in the league someday. With Nurse, Reinhart and Klefbom pretty much locked to be Edmonton's future top 4, there's a lot more of an opportunity in Vancouver for him to play a bigger role. Looking forward to see what he brings to camp and pre-season. Hoping the Canucks have another Ben Hutton scenario with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stecher definitely starts in Utica though, barring an exceptional camp. Putting him in Utica makes the most sense, clearly. He will need time to adjust to the Pro game and develop his conditioning for 80+ games. He's on the small side too so just getting stronger will help him if/when he gets a call-up. I don't think the team will hesitate to waive Biega if necessary, whether we re-sign Hamhuis or not. Timed correctly, he'd likely pass through anyway and be an injury call up. Pedan and Larsen will get long looks and should be pencilled in for those spots. Edited April 14, 2016 by theminister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
