Because it's plainly obvious to most (including apparently coaching/amagement) that he's not ready yet. That's why. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. We have a solid developmental team in Utica for a reason. Hint: It's to develop players who are not NHL ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I honestly believe Jordan Subban's time with the Nucks is coming to a close...I expect this is how the Canucks viewed Hunter Shinkaruk last year too...just not their kind of player... sadly enough Subban is exactly what we need...but the management's preconceived notions about small players and even just prejudice to purely offensive players is being axed here.

I remember going to a preseason game where Subban scored. It was a nice blast from the point. He was cut the next day. I didn't expect him to make the Canucks, but I also don't think he's getting a fair shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, because after one pro season and one preseason game in the big league means his time is done here. Please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Subban will get his time. He'll be given many chances in Utica to play top 4 minutes and round out his game. Besides, defensemen take a longer time to develop and Subban just happens to be one of those defensemen that will take more than 4 or 5 years to fully develop.

canucklehead44 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Subban could lead the AHL in scoring and not get a chance. Didn't he score a goal in his one pre-season game last year while playing a very solid all around game only to get sent down right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored a goal in the Young-stars tournament though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're telling me that he played better last year in pre-season than this year? It was stated several times during the scrimmages that he was being caught out of position. Not sure that happened last night or not. It's not all some stupid conspiracy against Subban by Jim Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am resisting the temptation of trying to be funny. Lol. That would get me in big ka-ka. I wish we had a comedy canucks forums where anything could be said.

SvenBae Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Subban is still a defensive liability, that was the feeling last season with the Comets, though his defensive game had been thought to have improved over the season, he still needs more seasoning it seems.

kloubek Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'm not surprised about Subban getting cut. He's only 21, and still has a couple of years to put it together. Most defensemen enter the league at 21 or 22, but Jordan has to additionally try to find ways to overcome his lack of size, as well as work on his defense. I'm still confident he has the skills that will see him in the NHL one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but wasn't he one of the first cuts (maybe before playing a preseason game) last season as well? last season he was cut early because the Comets went overseas for preseason didnt they?
