We've been rumored to be interested in Sprong, but the chance to reunite Gaudette and Aston-Reese might be tempting. Source, sir? Not sure why the Pens would move a guy who was PPG in his first pro season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 to me we have to many so,so D men and Zel Zotta tops the list, he could help in utica make younger D men better and to me that is where he belongs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have a coach who won't hesitate to hold him accountable if he does screw up. Half of CDC wants Tanev and Edler moved anyway and we need a warm boy to take up some minutes while OJ marinades on the farm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember the Vrbatas and Prusts of the hockey world? Players that look and act like they would rather be somewhere else? MDZ has his warts but his last game was his first in awhile. Lets cut him some slack. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And half of them want Edler moved because he 'sucks', not because of his trade value. They're also likely the same people who bitch about how bad our 6th and 7th D's looked with Edler and Tanev out the other night 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Fivehole0 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Most under rated player on the Canucks. I don't know why he's become such a whipping boy lately, but MDZ plays hard every game. He doesn't have a high ceiling by any means, but for his contract, MDZ is well worth it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Del Zotto's no look pass to Petterson was impressive on Elias' first goal of the game against Minnesota. I like seeing how almost every Canuck defenseman is jumping up in the play. Edited October 31, 2018 by PhillipBlunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theguy445 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Look at the Jordan Greenway goal, Del Zotto completely failed at physically containing him and by the end of the goal it looked like he was barely trying to challenge him. When you watch Canucks games pay attention to the breakouts, Del Zotto rarely makes a great pass that causes a scoring chance the other way, he seems simply content with making low risk low reward plays just to get it out of the blue line. He's not terrible, but he's not much more than a 6/7 Dman on a cup contending team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going out of your way to hit a rookie in the last 3 mins of a tied game way after the puck's moved on is inexcusable for a veteran D. Show's poor judgement, low intelligence, low compete level (focusing on the wrong things and not about winning)... Thought Del Zotto had a decent game otherwise but I just lost it when he made that hit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I am sure that MDZ realizes he is a place holder for a prospect playing in Utica right now. He tries to be effective each shift to improve his status. He is generally a reliable 5 or 6 dman on a rebuilding team. His time is limited but he battles on. I like his physicality which is consistent. His late hit wa something a vet should not do. I was more concerned about the chances he was taking up ice. A lot of risky plays. Nice skater. I suggest Pouliot gets more byes from Green than MDZ gets. Understandable as MDZ is a vet and Green is trying to get Pouliot's career established. Both are on the bubble and would be fools not to realize that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Every game Delzotto has a great glimmer of offensive talent when he rushes the puck. I wonder if he’s ever played left wing , he might make a better forward than a defenceman. Hell even Biega played forward a couple times and wasn’t terrible.

Nucker 67 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I wonder if TOR would have any interest. Could they use a veteran mobile Dman for their playoff run? I would love to get Sean Durzi in a trade. TOR has some good D prospects, but I doubt they would want to trade Liljegren or Sandin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I think it’s going to be MDZ for the next 3-4 games , beyond that I can’t possibly predict he can stay out of the press box in favour of Pouliot. We are almost better to dress 5 defenceman and an extra forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
