diesel_3 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Some more literature on him. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=59968 Even as a freshman had some nice numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Looks like he was Harvard's captain this year. I'm interested in any college/university free agents the Canucks pick up due to our success in those kind of pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a crowded blueline at that time and he saw more opportunity for minutes in Edmonton. Right now there is lots of opporunity for any young forward up front on our current roster, as exhibited by Megna getting first unit powerplay time.

Warhippy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 How about him AND Aston-Reese? Allow us to go off the board with high risk forwards? Have to admit, would be nice if the draft/free agency gods would smile on us for a few seasons. As well, the moment he leaves the NJ organization and comes to us...as always, the league will close that loophole and Boeser/Gaudette will have no choice to sign with us. After all, cannot have the Canucsk benefitting from things like "the luongo rule" "coaches for picks" etc meaning things the league found a way to penalize us for or stop anyone from benefiting after we had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Not the biggest guy, but for the sake of the team's future I would not be opposed at all to them stockpiling young centers with offensive potential. Bring him home, J.B.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 He's been a PPG in everywhere he's been. Wouldn't mind a playmaker center. We have lots of two-way forwards (not that it's bad or anything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Does anyone know when NCAA players are free to sign? Just wondering if thats before or after the NHL draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just now, S'all Good Man said: Does anyone know when NCAA players are free to sign? Just wondering if thats before or after the NHL draft. August. So, after the draft and after Free Agent Frenzy but just before training camp starts. If Gaudette opts for a third year at Northeastern... Alexander Kerfoot signing here makes a lot of sense. He'd be a good fit as the 4th line centre. Definitely give us depth and can see him wanting to come home.... and there's room on the Canucks roster for him to sign here and actually have a legit chance of cracking the NHL roster.

However, it wouldn't shock me if it played out in a similar fashion. Because Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a former teammate of Boeser's for a short period of time. Sign me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
