coryberg Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Boucher looking like the wayne gretzky of that list. Would be great for utica if he clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Expecting to see some quality names hit the wire in the next 48 hours as teams finalize their cuts and rosters. Will be interesting to see if benning does anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I always liked Rocco Grimaldi. Hope the little guy makes it some day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Cannata, I remember when he was one of our hopefuls before. Too bad he's not turning out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if benning does anything for sure. Most interesting waiver time in a while. I wonder if Boucher put in less of an effort hoping to go on waivers again?

I wonder if Boucher put in less of an effort hoping to go on waivers again? I'd be shocked if that was the case... my Canucks homerism aside, and all that saying "Vancouver is the best place" etc for athlete to live in... there's no way he could possibly think he should put in less effort at any NHL training camp. Especially with his career on the line. Hoping he clears and we have more depth in Utica, but not end of the world if he doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're probably right, I guess its always a surprise to me when guys are this close and just don't put in the extra effort. The son of one of my wife's friends is a similar kind of guy, has had plenty of chances and was even a C one year on his minor team but is just lazy on conditioning.

That didn't stop them from waiving Grenier. They should just re-sign Jagr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Latta would interest me. Solid 2 way guy. Brings the nasty Lets Ryan White get un jersey'd mid fight here before launching more bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he was working hard on his cardio all summer. Personally, I liked what I saw out of him last year. He has potential and isn't that far off from reaching it IMO. It's hard to draw much of a conclusion off of 2 preseasons games. I think Boucher is just a victim of the numbers game. Sure, it would have helped his cause if he potted a couple but he's still a guy I want in the organization. So I really hope he clears and goes down to Utica.

He would be phenomenal for their top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I just don't think there was room for Boeser, Rodin, and Boucher. With the way Boeser and Rodin have played, not surprised Boucher got put on waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Boucher is pretty expendable IMO not the type of depth player the Canucks need. Hope he goes to Utica but I wonder if he would even crack their top 6 this year. So Meh!.. Boeser Rodin Goldobin Virtanen OR Boucher? Pretty easy choice. Honestly I think all 4 start in Utica. Rodin on a conditioning stint if they can.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him giving up a cheesy goal in preseason a year or 2 ago. I said canata will never be an nhl goalie. Some poster reamed me out. I'm still winning lol.

Canuck Surfer Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I have not seen Curtis Valk hit the waiver wire yet in Florida? For those who deride Benning, Florida, for example, does not enjoy the depth we do at this point? (They are better, the depth.) I actually think he will make the Panthers.

With the way Boeser and Rodin have played, not surprised Boucher got put on waivers. Once Vanek was signed; this was destined unless he came in remarkably good form and fitness. And fair enough to risk losing our (then) 23rd man on the depth chart for a guy who will be 7th or 10th. And I believe Boucher will clear. Then it will be an issue of whether he gets the memo? That he has to add some pace, and compete to his skill game. He should make the Comets pretty dangerous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have 20 Fs at camp eg McCann finished the year in the AHL so he is not on the main roster on CapFriendly but he is expected to make the team - they have apparently been really impressed with him so far.
