RetroCanuck Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Awesome news for Utica and the Canucks! Can see him being a good role model for Jake and some of our other prospects while being tough to play against! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Alright! He earned it, showed up on a Utica contract last season and was stellar. Very happy to have him as a call-up option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 This is the North American heart to go with the Euro skill in Utica. Solid signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Does it matter if its an AHL contract in terms of call ups? I'm 50/50 but I remember if its strictly AHL contract he can't be called up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino#29 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 good signing,he's been great for utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 What does it mean the Canucks sign him to an AHL deal? Do we indirectly own his rights so he stays in Utica? I'm a little confused by that...same as when we signed Alexis D'Aoust to the same AHL deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Amazing for Utica. Not sure what's happening with Bancks, but I really feel like Archibald should be the captain in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Specter Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Excellent news! Glad to see him back in an Utica Comets jersey. He did well on his AHL deal last year after exploring his options with other leagues and teams. Just going to casually put this here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to be signed to an NHL contract before he can be called up. The Canucks did that with Zalewski last year (or the year before) when all the injuries happened.

Ossi Vaananen Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Ah, it's an AHL deal. Here I thought they were giving him another shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Barzal Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Jesus, this dude's put his time in. I'd rather see him on our fourth line than Dorsett tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the actual signing can be something of a gray area. I believe some AHL contracts are done out of Vancouver's head office while others are done from Utica's. Same thing essentially as CSE is one big happy family, but it's possible this decision might have come from Benning instead of Conacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
