Coming in and out of games allows him to play that "bulldog" style when inserted into the lineup. Bring in some work ethic right now would not be a bad idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 2 hours ago, bree2 said: just my opinion, but I think Jim Benning got rid of the wrong d man. Pouliot has lost several games for us , because of his dumb mistakes. he makes any pairing he is with look bad. To be honest, I think both could go anyway. Give someone like Sautner or Chatfield a chance. We need new blood rather than just having "more of the same". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if true, I'd rather get 20 solid games out of a guy instead of playing a perpetual screw-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By eyeballing the dates of games, it looks like Biega played pretty much all 51 of his games consecutively in 2015-16. It doesn't usually take long for his game to drop off. Even after about 4 or 5 games I've noticed it. That said, there could still be a case that even a fallen-off Biega might still be better than Pouliot sometimes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Biega needs to tone it down a notch to be effective long term He comes in to make an impression, but it is not sustainable for him to maintain that for very long He needs to figure out what he can do to be effective and consistent and stay longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he played any other way, i don't think he makes it out of Utica... EVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the perfect spare D but there's no 'undiscovered ceiling' to be uncovered there. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I do not understand how green can keep giving Pouliot chances to play regular..I was a fan that was so excited to have Pouliot with Vancouver.. He was a amazing D man with Portland but he is not a top 7 NHL D man. So many mistakes every game...Its been over 2 years now.. Really think its time to move away from Pouliot... We have Sautner and Briesbois that should be given the #6 D spot a good long look.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I'm all for giving McEneny or some other guy a shot over Pouliot, but now isn't the time. With Edler out, I say we wait until our d-core is stable again before subbing Pouliot out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickTheGreek Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 He's actually completely useless. He serves absolutely no function on this team. I just don't get it What's with this team and hanging on to players that even us dumb fans realize are going absolutely nowhere. The consensus on here is that Pouliot is a bum yet Green still plays him, and in the end, he'll be out of the league. This guy should give the European game a go and maybe he'll find success there but he's truly one of the most frustrating players I've seen in all my years of being a Canucks fan. Good riddance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Rome was not a 1st round pick. A 4th Round pick who played great hockey when needed in the '11 Playoffs. The 0.4 second late hit on Horton finished his playoffs and Vancouver's playoffs. This guy never made any pretense of being more than he was. Show a little respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAY worse. In fact, they should not be mentioned in the same sentence... Aaron Rome tried every game he played and he stepped up when the crunch came. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang Durst Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It's getting interesting On the Pittsburgh Penguins Jason Mackey: “Watching the @Sportsnet trade deadline feed. They’re saying the Canucks could be testing the market on Derrick Pouliot. Can’t imagine it actually happens, but it’s interesting to think about if you’re missing Letang & Dumoulin for any significant stretch.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cap space is like a trade anyway, because we can use it to sign a younger UFA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
