He has the tools, and hopefully Green can show him how to make them work together. For his size, he's very fast, and has a howitzer of a shot, hardest on the team presently. As well, he's a willing combatant, something Tryamkin wasn't totally comfortable with. If he can put it all together and work on his defense, who knows. No need for Desjardins to show Pronger videos to Andrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a #3 or #4 at worst on this team. Canucks have Tanev and Stecher on the right side. I think it would better to ease Gudbranson up the lineup.

combover Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Good, I like pedan, big strong and uses his size stands up for his team mates and Green knows him, hopefully with willie gone some of the guys stuck in the minors will get a fair chance.

Gurn Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 3 hours ago, Sugar baby watermelon said: Please Green let him play, you are familiar with him and he does bring much needed toughness with Tryamkin gone. Pedan can go toe to toe with anyone, and will come to the aid of someone trying to intimidate our players. I'd rather Pedan come to the aid of our players, and not the player trying to intimidate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Tryamkin having similar feelings when Willie showed him Pronger vids. There's no way of knowing for sure but my money is on that very moment being the one where Nik checked out on us.

elvis15 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 44 minutes ago, SILLY GOOSE said: Hate to break it to you but Tanev could play better defense with a broken arm and two broken legs than Pedan........but here's hoping his D play gets better next season. I feel like you're exaggerating... But sarcasm aside, he did have some issues to finish the year. His defence is normally ok (still behind Tanev's but not as far behind as mentioned above) but his play all around suffered while the Comets were fighting for a playoff spot. He's still pretty mobile and that mean streak helps when he uses it, so positive play and effort even if the results aren't quite there yet will go a long way.

elvis15 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 2 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: The immediate response is a welcome sign. This team needs way more of that element to help protect the skill coming down through the prospect pipeline. People are overhyping this aspect of his game while forgetting he's also had a few concussions the last couple years. While he does still fight, he's scaled back on the number of fights he takes and when (which is actually a positive if he wants to be an effective defenceman on the ice more often).

Dazzle Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 2 hours ago, GarthButcher5 said: Too bad he can't learn to take a regular fourth line winger role. The Canucks need some toughness up front, it shouldn't all have to come from the back end whereby a fight would cause the defense lines to have to be juggled for 5 minutes or more. Yeah, too bad Tanev can't play with the Sedins. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 22 years, Nik is a better defenceman than Chara, Pronger, Robinson, and other 6'4"+ defence men were at that SAME AGE.. there is no height set for the ceiling of his game, but his potential is huge,. something we, fans of the NHL game may not have seen yet. His game will be a style of his own, and the points, hits, takeaways.. of his own design. Really hope the Canucks stay close to him,.. and for F'ks sake, somebody from Vancouver send him a bucket that fits !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, Not sure how insisting on letting Larsen continue to dress despite playing like garbage was a better option than giving Pedan a look. It's not like Pedan would have been a bigger liability in his own end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Larsen, Tanev and Edler were all injured at the same time last year at one point, Pedan traveled with the team for about a dozen games and got no ice time. Have to say Biegga IS a fantastic utility player, we could use him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
