Murph noted on the broadcast when they panned to Molino sitting in the press box next to Smyl that the two-year deal is in effect this year and Molino could get in the lineup as early as Friday. So not help for Utica, although we could send someone else down who's more familiar with the Comets and could help right away. Goldobin doesn't know the team but would add a lot, Gaunce when healthy again would be a big add. They'd even enjoy LaBate back. I guess we'll see how it pans out.

DownUndaCanuck Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 This will be interesting. Not very good offensive stats but he's older, more physically mature. If he has a bottom-6 sort of role and plays it well, he may stick somewhere but hopefully it's Utica next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon.Duck Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 This has probably been discussed ad nauseam- playing less than 9 games for NCAA xfers doesn't effect a year of their ELC, right? Would be the case for Boeser too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabychStache Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Must be how they are getting these guys to sign. Nothing really to lose by burning a year from a Canucks perspective. If they turn into $$$ all stars... great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backman will be with the Canucks until the seaon ends now that Markstrom has been shut down. LaBate, Goldobin and Gaunce (when healthy) should all go to Utica now! Getting Utica into the Calder playoffs should be the #1 priority for the org at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not Others have, but wasn't me - I've said that "I can understand why he was attractive as a draft pick despite his low production", then he exploded.

Gotta love it Next year maybe, not this year. He will report directly to the Canucks, burning a year of his ELC, and then perhaps (depending on performance) report to Utica after Training Camp next season (as he is ineligible to play in Utica until next season).

Nuxfanabroad Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hacks claim that you know he will play! As team languishes in disarray Won't be on crutches Seems that the hunch is Best keep distant farm guys away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People apparently don't understand that teams are only allowed to make 4 AHL callups between the trade deadline and the end of the regular season 2. People also don't understand how AHL eligibility works in terms of players who sign NHL contracts after the trade deadline Feels like much of the complaining that happens would die down a bit if certain people actually took the time to read the damn rules.

theminister Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 It will be interesting to see how the reaction to the signing might change if he steps into the line-up and becomes one of the fastest players on the team immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeak Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Just now, Oregon.Duck said: http://www.tsn.ca/coyotes-f-keller-to-debut-vs-blues-1.707310 unrelated player, but in the article on Clayton Keller, it states, at the bottom, that "Keller can spend the remaining seven games of the Coyotes season with the team without burning a year off of his ELC." Under the context that he was going to debut. TSN be confusing me. Keller is 19 years old - as per section 9.2 of the CBA - so in order to burn the first year of his ELC, he has to play in 9 games. Because Molino is 23 - he is not eligible for the ELC slide, which is only available to 18 year olds and 19 year olds. It's the same reason why Boeser is burning a year - because he is 20 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
