-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Quote Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed right wing Justin Bailey to a one-year, two-way contract. Bailey, 24, split the 2018.19 season between Rochester (9-11-20 in 37 games), Lehigh Valley (6-2-8 in 17 games) and Philadelphia (0-1-1 in 11 games). He was acquired by Philadelphia on January 18, 2019 from Buffalo in exchange for Taylor Leier. The Buffalo, New York native has played in 63 NHL games, accumulating nine points (5-4-9) and 10 penalty minutes with the Buffalo Sabres and Philadelphia Flyers. The 6'4", 214-pound forward was originally drafted 52nd overall by Buffalo in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-justin-bailey/c-308182886 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post aGENT Posted July 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2019 Nice! Hasn't put it together at this level yet but the guy has all sorts of good physical tools. And if nothing else will make Utica a lot better. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Probably AHL/injury depth but solid frame and likely very physical. His father was an NFL player who was 6'3 and 242 lbs (10 career sacks). Edited July 4, 2019 by Bure_Pavel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Would Bailey count against the veteran limit for Utica? I'm assuming that's where Bailey would ideally end up. He'll need to clear waivers to be assigned which isn't really a loss for the Canucks if that happens but is curious. Adding Bailey should be good for overall depth but perhaps the Canucks are looking at shipping out a younger player or a prospect. Perhaps the Canucks are looking at including Leivo in a trade? Virtanen is a possibility too but I don't think this management group is ready to give up on him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motte, Beagle, Bailey likely wouldn't be an awful 4th line either if we end up clearing out some bodies. But yes, likely Utica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Justin Bailey is a good AHL depth signing. Young enough that he could put it together but, if not, he probably replaces Justin Bailey/Tanner Kero as the type of player to help anchor Utica's top 6. I like this signing. Good low risk/high reward type thing. I don't expect much from him at this point but it's nice to see Jimbo go bargain hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Zack MacEwan is better IMO and is likely just an AHL signing due to logjam of bottom six forwards Edited July 4, 2019 by Bure_Pavel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's some coach talking about a BC Lion, Dean Valli perhaps? I don't have access to youtube but it's somewhere on there and totally worth checking out. It might be this, I can't go on youtube to confirm: https://www.youtube.com/notify-YouTubeFacebookCoaching?aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g/dj1lUTc4czlodW5CTQ==;YUvWcWm8XIdQVaQM3iyayI2YS07gsYlXwLc80g5x/1Q= Edited July 4, 2019 by Tre Mac 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
