He has no other contract with Vancouver Canucks - no commitment whatsoever and can be asked to leave camp at any point during camp up until camp breaks or they choose to sign him. You're right I used the wrong word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves gaunce goldobin Burmistrov dahlen virtanen megna Chaput Molino Dorsett rodin boucher and now white all going after 4 spots. 12 guys. 4 spots. Add labate Maybe macewen More to come? Lol. There's a point at which competition becomes mass confusion. Are the coaching staff gonna see enough of each guy to make the right call? Guess we'll see. Boeser is a long way from being guaranteed a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFerguson Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 2 hours ago, Beary Sweet said: Nice PTO to sign. No risk at all with high reward. He's a grinder who is physical, chips in with the odd point and can provide some energy to a arena with a fight, hit. Excited to see how he fits in I'm fine with bringing White in as a PTO but I think calling this a potential "high reward" is a bit optimistic. Will happily eat my words later though!

dank.sinatra Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Meh not a bad guy to have down in Utica. Could add some grit when called up. Whatever, he probably won't get signed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Not a bad PTO signing at all. Could see him pulling a Jack Skille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I really like Ryan White. Tough as nails, fearless, and versatile. Can play wing and centre, has been good in the faceoffs draws, fights, plays important minutes on the PK (which could free up guys like Bo to play more offensive roles). Ideally he would be a great 13th forward for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 signing is okay, we need extra bodies for China trip and maybe Dorsette neck injury is worse then expected.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeser will be a 25 goal guy this year?? I don't think you have watched much hockey..This kid has so much talent and only 20 yrs old.. Top 6 forward from game 1 of the season... He knows how to score we have lacked this for years.. Natural talent.. Might even win Rookie of the year in NHL...1.line Boser - Bo -- Bart 2.line sedin - sedin - Grandlund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Nice find. Provides some sandpaper for the fourth line. I'd rather bring in guys like this who can at least fill a role over useless plugs like Megna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It's a PTO, there is no risk. If he earns a spot, he didn't "take" it from anybody, he earned it. Lots of competition this year for the bottom 6, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't have 2 of them though, that'd be redundant. after reading the other comments maybe I'm wrong, maybe he might be a good gamble.... but you're right, where does that leave Dorsett?

Excited to see how he fits in I agree with all these statements. As has been much-discussed, the Canucks are an extremely soft team. And with Burrows and Hansen gone, and Dorsett a question mark, what little grit they had in the forwards last year is largely gone. The odds are against him making the team but the Canucks could certainly use his toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 If he proves he can play and has the hunger to win why not? Guys like him and Dorsett are great to have around young guys. In a magical world where dreams do come true White, Dorsett and Virtanen heck lets throw even a 15 goal Labate in there lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 6 hours ago, Western Red said: Fair enough. Philly may have a steal in Gostisbehere, but Voracek makes 10m this year! Sorry geeking out on nhlnumbers.com Back on topic, White might get a 2 way for Utica, no problem there. Veteran spots are limited in the AHL. Only 6 veterans can play per game (260 pro-games) and no more than 5 can have more than 320 pro-games. They already have 4 veterans of over 320 games signed to AHL deals. Many have Megna and Chaput in the AHL and both have 320 games - a vet will be healthy scratched each game. It becomes crowded in Utica if they also add White and who knows who else gets sent down. Biega, Burmistrov, Rodin and Wiercioch are at 320 games. Boucher and maybe Holm (not sure how they count Allsvenskan) are at 260 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
