MeanSeanBean Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Likely just a warm body for that unruly pre season schedule. Big boy, no idea who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 To provide a "safe working environment" in Utica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Essentially an AHL PTO I guess, will likely just get cut early and sent to Utica's camp. The Comets' defense is lacking in the physical department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperlynx Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 https://www.capfriendly.com/players/ben-betker No QO from Oilers, looks like Utica-bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Big boy! We'll take him. Speaking of big boys, I love the way Gadj dropped that 6'6 punk in the young stars game 2 vs Jets prospects. I can see Gadjovich being huge for us in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 When I scrolled past the link on homepage I read "[PTO] Cam Barker with Canucks" and was like "good grief, not tthis again" #KHLALLSTAR Anyone have info on this guy? Playing style? His stats appear underwhelming at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIC_CITY Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 At first I was like...really? Who is this no name? But then I quickly realized, as the roster sits right now, I don't want any significant PTOs. I want each of these kids to have ample opportunity to prove themselves in the preseason. Hopefully this Ben kid wins a job in Utica and hopefully Benning stays away from any significant PTOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Replacement for Mackenze Stewart, without giving up an NHL contract spot. Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 He's big enough. Likely a Utica-bound player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks are definitely going to need these 2 and a few others some kick some ass when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
