Type R Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Boeser signs is ELC with Van in the next couple of days, and will debut on a line with Horvat and Baertschi.. The REAL kid line will be complete, and until substantial moves are made, that will be our top line very soon. PS. have you all been noticing the Sedin line since Horvat has been pegged as the #1 threat by opposing teams? Henrik is suddenly putting up goals!

I guess you all can figure out what I think. I'm curious if he can get 2 birds stoned at once by playing the requirement to blow the year off his ELC then go to Utica??????

If he can the could he get 2 birds stoned at once by playing the requirement to blow the year off his ELC then go to Utica?????? Unfortunately it would have to be either a pro tryout with Utica for their playoff push or ELC with the Canucks. Can't have both. +1 for the Trailer Park Boys reference though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Just checked out Brock's Twitter account,. Within the last month or so are are congratulatory postings to a couple of College Hockey Pals who have recently jumped to the NHL,. and another posting with a pic , what seems to be of his Dad in.. a Canucks Hat... just sayin... if that's not a sign that he is leaning on the dasher to play soon,. then Punxsutawney Phil is going to predict six more weeks of winter.

Why couldn't we do what Pittsburg did with Aston-Reese? Brock burns a year off of his contract and we get him playing with the Comets and hopefully The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed college free agent forward Zach Aston-Reese to a two-year, entry-level contract, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford. The contract will begin with the 2017-18 season and run through the 2018-19 campaign. Aston-Reese will report to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this weekend on an amateur tryout contract this year.

N4ZZY Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 can't see brock playing against minny tmr. that'd be a fast turnaround. if he plays, most likely next week sometime, it'll take a few days for him to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 They don't need to sign him. Megna is healthy and supposed to be back in a couple games. He is already skating and plays Willie and his "system" to a tee. Boeser wouldn't get to play much anyways. Not without a few practices for Willie to say he's got a good shot but like he doesn't know our systems yet and has to understand the process game is a 2 way game. Also he can't play on the power play obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 2 hours ago, CRAZY_4_NAZZY said: Knowing WD, he wouldn't play right away either, "has to get in a couple of practices first". Thats if WD is going to be consistent about his message across all young players. But in all seriousness, I agree, starting in utica to acclimatize his mind and body to the pro game will do him more good than play a few throw away games when this team is hardly trying anymore. We have a lot of guys playing for jobs, young guys looking to improve. I don't think "hardly anyone is trying" is accurate. Handling of Jake goes to show no matter who you are you better be prepared to work and be consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract will begin with the 2017-18 season and run through the 2018-19 campaign. Aston-Reese will report to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this weekend on an amateur tryout contract this year. At Boeser's age, he is required to sign a 3 year ELC. I don't believe the length ELC's are negotiable, as the CBA gives a direct chart for them: 18-21 years of age: 3 years 22-23 years of age: 2 years 24 years of age: 1 year Basically the CBA just says this is the contract, but doesn't expand or have provisions. I believe a story came out that Benning tried to sign tryamkin to 3 year deal, but the league denied the contract. EDIT: Boeser won't want to "sacrifice" an entire year of the ELC just to play in the AHL. And once he signs an NHL contract for this year he can't play in the AHL playoffs. Needed to be a roster player before the March 1st trade deadline. If he signed an ATO he would be available, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
