Is he a player that plays with edge? Would you say that he compares to a player like David Bolland who was driving us Canucks fans crazy with his agitating and aggressive style of hockey back in 2008 to 2011? Would you say he's got the makings of an Alex Burrows type player? I would. He is an agitator and he has come a long way this year. And consistent too. He will press for a position next year. I think another year in the weight room won’t hurt him and will give him a little more credibility in front of the net.

Junkyard Dog Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Forward-wise we probably don't see anybody new save for FAs and Mac. Need some legit gritty players. Defense we're gonna see Rafferty in top 6 Lind will probably be like Mac next season and be the first call-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCanuck Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Lind is definitely in that group of prospects Benning mentioned. Which is great considering last year. Podz Hoglander Lind Woo Rathbone Rafferty Juolevi are the 7 I see. Personally I think MacEwen has graduated and is just waiting for a full time spot to open up. After those seven I see McDonough, Brisebois, Jasek and DiPietro as the next group that could be slotted in as NHLer's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 At 22, I think Jasek is getting close to ready. His move to C is a big win and he's proving he can be a very solid, smart 200 ft player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Bailey having a future here or even consider a part of that 7. Big fast guy but doesn't use his size unlike Mac. He also is't a kid anymore. He's only a few months younger than Bo who's turning 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how would Bailey do if given an opportunity on an offensive line? 3 hattricks in 4 AHL games should have at least given him a chance to show what he could (or couldn't) do in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he wouldn't do much better than Boucher. We're also in a tough position, if we were like 15 points ahead in the Pacific we could give some guys extended looks. We need legit top 6 players to surround around our young players anyway and have good prospects at FWD. Hopefully Toffoli gets re-signed, it would round out our top 6 till Hog/Pod get established to the NHL game. I doubt either of them are gonna have a significant impact right away like Petey/Brock/Hughes. Only opens spots we will have is in our bottom 6 and we need grittier players down there. Bigger concern at D with a lack of serious D prospects. A lot of guys with some promise but nothing on a Pod/Hog level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I remember how excited Benning was when Lind was still available at the draft. At that time, it seemed to me Lind was a really great pick and would join the team soon. But Lind was drafted almost 3 years ago and still hasn't had any NHL time. Is he close to making this team? Or is he the offensive equivalent to Juolevi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is he the offensive equivalent to Juolevi? Most players take 3+ years to develop post draft. Lind is far more the norm than top prospects who make the leap quicker. Hell, even look at one of our better prospects of this regime in Boeser. Two years developing in college. Or Gaudette, 3 years in college and far from a dominant NHl'er still. Kids take time.

We've got guys ahead of him that are much younger. We don't need half assers in the bottom 6. Get me someone legitimately gritty, not an AHLer. We're trying to build a playoff team.

Bailey deserves a better shot than one 4th line game. As for Lind....I still see a bit of Burrows in him and it took Burrows more than awhile to find his way...! ...so no Bullcrap....

Popular Post Canucks Curse Posted February 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2020 Lind is on track, but that's how many 2nd rounders are. they take 1 more year in Jr then 1-2 yrs in AHL. Look at Demko, drafted 5 years ago as a great 2nd round pick. I love the Toffoli, trade if we can sign him. I think he is very- Miller'esque. When would Madden help us 2 yrs? 3 yrs? and as a 4th liner? Also, Madden is. great, but Jasek is 2 yrs ahead of him in development and his progress has been underrated. He is playing heavy 2 way minutes and putting up decent points. I bet he plays some 4C minutes for us next year. if we resign Toffoli, we will have excellent depth up front, possibly the most in the history of the franchise. Him, Miller, Pearson, are the exact veterans we need. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Lind getting the Mac treatment. First call up, sticks around when injuries hit and gets used to coaches and players, groomed to be a regular the following year. He has top 9 potential and a lot more than Bailey. Rather have someone that is already established than someone who isn't. He's gonna have to change his game and we would be a much better team if we acquired someone who does bring in an intimidating physical presence consistently than hope than someone who hasn't does. Martin, Reaves, there are a number of FAs i'd rather have and that would be better and for a team that lacks that sort of pushback and play we need those type of players. We want to be a playoff team right? so lets do it the right way. We need legit grit and Bailey isn't that. That's where I am getting at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
