Canuck Surfer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Ryan Kuffner, LW is what we need. Pure goal scorer, Power Forward and puck winner on the boards! 148 points in 130 games for his NCAA career. Solid career, had the body to plat against men when he was a rookie suggests he will handle NHL competition as a 21 / 22 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 From the IR > Nicholas Halloran, if he's over the injury that kept him out most of this year? Last year had 45 points in 37 games as a 20 year old. 2knd in NHLe in the NCAA for his age to ONLY Henrik Borgstrom. His college results translate to almost 50 points in the NHL. Could be overlooked based on injury. Be a great boost for Utica if he does not crack our roster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Halloran > who played in Trail in the BCHL? Was ahead of Jordan Greenway for example. Comfortably. Who has played in the NHL this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Joe Duszak, Andrew Shortridge, Taro Hirose, and Jimmy Schuldt are the guys I hope the Canucks go after. Taro, Joe, and Jimmy could all challenge for NHL spots this September. Andrew would be a good AHL goalie that could split starts with Michael DiPetrio or play a chunk of time in the ECHL as the Organization's 5th string goalie. The two pressing needs in this organization are defensive depth (which could be addressed by going hard after guys like Joe Duszak, Jimmy Schuldt, or another NCAA guy who isn't listed) and offensive minded wingers. Taro Hirose could probably on a line with Gaudette and Leivo next season and do very well. I also like Josh Wilkins a lot as a guy to target as C depth who I'd make the 1C in Utica next year if Tyler Madden goes back to college for a second year. Though, when it comes to defense, the guy the Canucks need to GO AFTER is Oliwer Kaski. He's emerged as the best d-man in the Liiga this year and is the same age as a lot of these NCAA guys... in fact Kaski played in the NCAA for 2 years and was a teammate of one time Canuck Griffin Molino. Kaski would be my first choice for a UFA signing but yeah. Truth is, I'm hoping the Canucks can unearth another College UFA gem that isn't listed right now sort of like how Chris Tanev came out of nowhere the year the Canucks signed him.

DrJockitch Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Both the D sound good. Other than that anyone with size that can skate. We need as much help as can get at all positions but especially D and wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Lukas Craggs seems interesting to me going off his PIM and a brief description on TSN https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/234399/lukas-craggs TSN article: Lukas Craggs, Bowling Green Craggs has 13 goals and 24 points through 30 games in his Junior season with Bowling Green with a plus-19 rating. The 22-year-old had 10 goals and 19 points in 40 games last season. "I’m a simple player, who likes to play very physical, fast, and I like to shoot the puck," Craggs told FloHockey in January. "With that, I create turnovers from skating and putting pressure on the D, and I keep it simple, as much as I can. The six-foot, 190-pound forward led the Falcons with 108 penalty minutes this season, including a team-high four major penalties. "Playing on the edge, it’s easier said than done," Craggs added. "I continue to have to work on it each week. I got two five-minute majors, or misconducts, early in the year. I had to tone it back a little bit. I think because of that it helped my overall game play, it’s helping our team win." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Halloran announced that he’s going back to Colorado College for his senior year (2019-20) and will complete his degree. He’s going to heal up, get 100%, and hopefully put-up a huge year and draw major interest in 2020. That was the plan for this year, and even his coach started the season saying Halloran would be gone after his junior year, but the injury derailed things and he’s going to wait a year now before looking to go pro. Smart decision under the circumstances IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Biestra Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 9 hours ago, Provost said: Bobo Carpenter, Centre, Boston University, 5’11” 185 lbs, Senior The son of Bobby Carpenter has put up 10 goals and 18 points in 21 games this season. He is a straight forward North-South player. He gets his points by working hard on the cycle, getting to the front of the net, and being effective on the forecheck. Despite his size, he works hard in battling for loose pucks in all three zones. His defensive game is well-developed and he does a good job playing against other team’s top lines and on the penalty kill. Carpenter has improved his skating, but there is still work to be done. I'm not signing a player that goes by Bobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
