darkpoet Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Finally. I've been waiting for this team to sign Daniel Carcillo for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrissex95 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 39 minutes ago, Where's Wellwood said: QMJHL generally has more scoring than the WHL so Lucic's numbers are more impressive in that comparison. They're pretty similar numbers though, which is good sign. I doubt MacEwen is as good of a player but still. Hopefully he can start next season in Utica.

Derp... Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Good signing could be the next Archibald for Utica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Good signing. Hopefully he will become a serviceable NHL player. If not he can help Utica out next year as they'll be a much deeper team next year than this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 There's a lot of details lacking here. What type of contract is he signed to? How much was he signed for etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdaddy Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'd rather sign a miss than miss a signing. Good job GMJB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo fan Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 good signing - see where he goes - doesn't hurt to stockpile the cupboards I think a few of the above posters are correct with the need to get some grit on the forward lines. We can't afford our D to be taking penalties and leaving the D group playing 5 deep for 2 to - however many minutes at a time I believe Benning knows we need to be tougher on the front end and I think slowly it is coming together - gonna be interesting to see where we end up draft day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 1 hour ago, J-23 said: Canucks recently picked up two physical players. No more softness from this team anymore. We got Tram, Guddy, Virtanen, Dorsett, Labate, Pedan, Cramarossa and now the newest addition to the team Zack MacEwen. Almost everyone but Dorsett are young and have lots of pontential to be great players for this team! 1 hour ago, PhillipBlunt said: And aside from Virtanen, Dorsett, and Cramarossa, these boys are huge! Starting to realize who was the "real" architect of those Bruins Teams.. Definitely not Sweeney. Like that JB is stacking some bigger bodies,. Too bad Willie doesn't know how to play them.

But if I'm guessing, it's probably in the 675-750K range with a 60-70K AHL salary. Maybe a 10% signing bonus. And minimal performance bonuses attached.

canucklehead44 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 As long as we are alright for contracts fine, but I think he will have trouble sticking in the AHL nevermind play in the NHL. Mallet, Laplante, Anthony etc all similar or better numbers and couldn't stay up in the AHL. PC Labrie didn't have a tonne of fights in the Q and similar numbers to ZackMac and he carved out a solid AHL career with 44 NHL games under his belt. Labrie became a fighter which helped him stick around. Heck he even scored 20 goals in the AHL last year, but has 0 in 44 this year. So I guess if ZackMac turns into a PC Labrie that would be considered a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I was just hoping we could get a bit of a younger guy like LaBate and Cramarossa to eventually replace Dorsett. I like this. Big boy who can bang and has a little offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenhodgejr Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Nice hope his development continues and he can one day play in the NHL. These are the kind of guys we need on the team in a deep playoff run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much was he signed for etc etc etc. It's a standard 3 year ELC, which obviously won't kick in until he plays a pro game. NHL Minimum salary is $525,000 AHL salary will be between $35,000 - $70,000 There's not much else to it with a fringe player. Highly regarded players get bonus clauses etc. but that's not going to apply here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
