70seven Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger·6h Over a dozen calls on 25 yr old Jordan Weal. He's on tour this week and is expected to visit the Canucks. North Van kid. Could be a good fit I think this kid is definitely worth a look. He'd certainly have the opportunity to prove himself in Vancouver and add some solid depth scoring. I remember watching him extensively when Manchester took out Utica a couple years ago on route to the Calder cup and being very impressed. Perfect signing for Canucks this year.

-AJ- Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'd love to sign this kid. He's an AHL superstar and has had some decent numbers in the NHL too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Limited NHL experience but had decent stats with the Flyers. What worries me is his career path and production thus far is very similar to Linden Vey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Weal could centre the fourth line to start sedin-sedin-granlund baertschi-horvat-boeser eriksson-sutter-goldobin virtanen-weal-dorsett gaunce/dahlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 It never hurts to bring him to camp and if he can't make this team, then I imagine he would be the first line centre in Utica that we've been dreaming of. Just image a line like: Dahlen Weal Virtanen Green will be choked that he never had players that good to work with in the AHL lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2014-15, Weal was 3rd in the entire AHL in points. He scored 47 points in 43 games this past year, a points-per-game higher than all but three of the top 20 AHL scorers. He's consistently been one of the AHL's elite forwards except in recent years due to the NHL time he's gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly not great, but if there's a one in a million chance that he can regain what he's lost since being destroyed by the Oilers, I'd take it. And if he sucks, he sucks. Who cares? We're not in a position to compete anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Take the chance, it doesn't hurt. Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser Daniel - Henrik - Goldobin Ericksson - Sutter - Yakapov Granlund - Gaunce/ Weal - _____ That right wing can rotate.

He is hard on the forecheck and creates turnovers in the offensive zone. A consistent scorer both at the junior level and in the AHL, he competes in all three zones. His size is a concern as he could be overmatched against the bigger, faster defenders and opposing forwards in the NHL. Weal's productivity and combativeness suggest he can contribute given the opportunity. More grit I suppose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Fine for Utica, but I'd rather give ice-time to our own prospects/players. Kinda of redundant with Boucher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 But anyway Sedin - Sedin - Granlund Yakupov - Horvat - Boeser Baertschi - Sutter - Eriksson Gaunce - Weal - Goldobin/Virtanen That's not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
