Again, none of this is REMOTELY likely but if Jim could add a D of that caliber for some of our forward depth and one of our lesser, expiring D, it's certainly something worth exploring IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werenski recently broke the CBJ franchise record for goals by a defensemen with 1/3 of the season remaining and missing games earlier in the year. The previous holder of the record? Also Werenski. I seriously, seriously doubt he'd be a possibility to acquire unless you want to give up Pettersson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpn1 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Lind also had a fight and an assist in the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hobart16 Posted February 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2020 Heard a great story about Kole Lind last night at the game. Apparently, the Canucks brought in a skating coach for the Comets for the first time and he took a look at Lind at the end of the year last year and measured him for new, custom skates. Lind's were two sizes too big and were the same off the shelf skates he used in junior. Now look at him. He is a different player this year. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of surprising a professional player didn’t have custom skates provided by the team from day one. Shouldn’t the Canucks be providing custom skates for all their pro players? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Development of young players on your farm team is not a place you want to cheap out, especially a team that is doing well financially. I heard an interview with Ferraro, that the biggest advantage a team with deep pockets has is the ability to develop prospects by bringing in the best coaches for stuff like skills and skating on a regular basis. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess players wear what they think works for them. Thankfully we have somebody looking at this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the advantages of Utica is supposed to be a easier travel sched which would allow more practice and off ice training. Not fully informed but it appears that the off ice program has not been developed as much as one would expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobart16 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The skating coach is working with them throughout the year. He caught Lind’s wacky skate set up early is all. Kind of crazy that he would have skates two sizes too big. The players choose their equipment of course and he just went with what he always had. Had gotten pretty far with his choices to that point. Of course his improvement this year is due to several other factors. Experience strength training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when buying skates, leaving room for a couple pairs of thick socks because it was cold outside. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobart16 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I've heard similar stories about stick flex and blade curve changes for some players. In fact I wondered if Edler switched his flex or weight as the incidences of broken sticks for him are way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fewer broken sticks is because of a drastic decrease in the number of slapshots - he mostly uses the wrister now - which is why more of his shots are getting through.
