Provost Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have said in the past, this guy could be the Patrick Maroon type player for us who works well on a top line with a skilled duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is just them rewarding his play in the OHL, he gets a nice signing bonus. Positive reinforcement. It could also be a reminder to fans that we're rebuilding and our future is bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Him and Petrus Palmu are best friends, apparently. That duo may be the new "Twins" line for us in the future. (You know, like that Danny DeVito/Arnold Schwarzenegger movie)... I'll go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a bit of Tomas Holmstrom in him as well. In a few years from now, we will be praising Jim Benning for the 2017 Draft - Elias Pettersson, Kole Lind, Jonah Gadjovich, Michael DiPietro, Jack Rathbone, Kristoffer Gunnarsson, Petrus Palmu, Matt Brassard. That is likely five NHL players that we drafted that will be really valuable for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Excellent. With the Sedins looking like they're on their retirement tour, and the likes of Burmistrov and Vanek on one-year deals (TDL bait), we could see Dahlen, Gaudette, Lind, and Gadjovich in some Canuck games before the year is out. More likely, maybe one or two will come in and the others may get PTOs in Utica, depending on when their seasons finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs to dump vets at both the NHL and AHL level. Boucher and Goldobin are ripping it up down there leading the team... and oh, those "defensive issues"? Boucher is even and Goldy is +1 Butttttt..... they have to call up a vet to make room for Rodin, who is wasting away eating tubs of popcorn in the bleeds hoping one day he might get a chance to (gasp) PLAY HOCKEY, instead of, you know, calling up someone who can actually HELP US SCORE SOME ^%$ GOALS! empty seats at Rogers are well deserved Sedins need to be benched and/or sheltered. (yes it's come to that) and not be put on the power play. at.all. Yes, they're still solid "possession" players. Awesome, put them on the penalty kill then, where wasting %$#ing time is actually helpful. /rant lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC2 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I like the fact that he plays and nhl game already and seems to be very mature for his age. It's way too early to tell how effective he can be at the nhl level but in my opinion he's the safest of this year's picks to make the nhl soon.

coastal.view Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 On 10/16/2017 at 2:53 PM, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: Signing him now also buys two years of possible entry level slide (extending a 3-year ELC to potentially 5 years). He just turned 19 (Oct 12) but contract-wise, his "ELC signing age" (age on Sept 15 of contact year) is 18. His contract can slide for his age 18 (2017-18) and age 19 (2018-19) years. Signing him next year, he falls under the exception rule (turns 20 between Sept 16 and Dec 31) and would not be slide eligible. good call thanks for that insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Very happy to see this... have a lot of expectations for this kid, I think he is a 3rd line prospect. who could be 2nd line if all the stars align. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that is what he will want either as he might want a serious CUP shot. The Canucks are years away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd like to see Kane in a Canucks jersey, local boy who can score and plays with sandpaper would be great. Thats entirely contingent on if he's truly grown up or not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially would want him given what Virtanen has gone through from a party guy to serious athlete. Could be someone who could get Kane off that track. Add that to the fact he's a BC boy with a ton of skill and it's a nobrainer to sign him (depending of course on cap and if he wants to come here, which I think he does).

Add that to the fact he's a BC boy with a ton of skill and it's a nobrainer to sign him (depending of course on cap and if he wants to come here, which I think he does). Kane's social life/media presence has been virtually (no pun intended) non-existent this season. He's focused solely on hockey and it shows. I think that Kane will be going to free agency, and by all accounts, at least as far as I've heard, he is interested in being a Canuck. It'll cost the team, but there will be a massive amount of cap space ($14M) available to sign him, should he come here. Getting a player of his capabilities in the forward corps, would be a huge boost to the rebuild, as his playing style looks to mesh pretty seamlessly with the likes of Horvat, Virtanen, and Boeser. Fast, physical, and likes to shoot. I could see Green being a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
