Got sent back to the juniors because he had a bad attitude in training camp. Sent down by Garth Snow when they were desperate for forwards and still sent him down. Please oh please not even with a ten foot pole. The same Garth Snow who let Tavares walk for nothing. Let's not crown him the king of good decisions.

Nucker 67 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser Goldobin - Pettersson - Ho-Sang I'd like to see if he's as good as he thinks he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 He's cocky. Canucks could use a little personality. I wonder if a Goldobin for Ho-Sang deal would make sense. Just a straight swap. Ho-Sang doesn't need waivers so he can be sent up and down this season while Goldobin can't without the risk of waivers. The Sharks have had a lot of success "rehabbing" "troubled" players in the past (just look at there bets with Evander Kane, Ryan Merkley recently). What says the Canucks can't do the same?

Alflives Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Maybe Chia Pet in Edmonton will give up is 2020 first for Ho Sang? Didn't he do that for another bustaroo already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason he fell so far in the draft. He had no motivation to go pro once his junior career was over. It wasn't made public but a lot of GMs knew this after the combine interviews.

xereau Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 He is very offensively gifted and he clearly has a personality conflict in that terrible organization. Worth the risk if the cost is low enough. Crap prospect and a same round pick swap? The I Slanders have a long running history of treating prospects poorly both privately and publicly.

mpass1 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 He actually doesn't have terrible nhl numbers, but from what I've heard his defensive prowess is definitely suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 For a fringe prospect and a lower pick, I'd take a chance on him. He was picked way to high, but could still pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'd trade 1/2 our forwards 1 for 1 for this kid. Eriksson, Gagner, Gaunce, Granlund, etc., etc. Rather see an arrogant douche than those slugs playing another year here. #Sadbuttrue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 He's only been a pro for two years, he can still break out and become an NHL regular. Kids get expedited to the NHL so fast these days we're extremely quick to label players as busts. Not sure if we need another tweener in our system but I wouldn't write him off as a prospect at all.
