Bure_Pavel Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) The Canucks have lots of forward and LD depth for next year, but are you satisfied with the RD depth going into this season: Myers Tanev Stetcher Beiga Rafferty After the top 3 we have Beiga and Rafferty on the right side. Are you conformable with Beiga playing 30 games in a bottom pairing role? There is a high chance at least one of our RD goes down with injury at some point this season. There is even a chance Tanev is traded, although I can see him walking in free agency. Cap space is very limited and we might have to wait until the Boeser signing but would you like to see the Canucks add another bottom pairing RD via trade, waivers, or signing? Any chance we can acquire another Luke Schenn type player? Some players like Benn can play their offside as well do we just go that route and keep status quo? ***For reference over 10 Dmen last year played at least 15 games for the Canucks.

Nucker 67 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'm hoping we don't have to rely on Beiga this year. Benn and Hughes can also play the right side, so they have some options. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kloubek Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'm not really concerned. I thought Biega showed well enough to be a solid 7th. Benn can play the right side if needed (I believe) and Tryamkin next year can play both sides as well. I still don't believe we have enough scoring talent from the blueline, but I don't think depth is a problem. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when Juolevi arrives scoring from the back end might not be a huge issues as we will have 4 dmen who can provide solid offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 There’s a possibility that Tryamkin comes back after his KHL season ends. It’s not set in stone, but that would mean another LHD who can play either side is here to stay. That means Stetcher can be our #7 guy come playoffs.

I'd say that chance is in the 99 percentile. I do agree with what I believe to be the gist of your thread. Biega being the 7th defenseman will be called upon at some point in the season for duty. While he's filled in admirably in the past, I do hope that other options are available. Edited July 19, 2019 by PhillipBlunt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree he is best as depth, I felt he did very well in his stints - especially this past season. I wouldn't be completely upset to see him play 20-30 games as Tanev goes down. As for OJ, it remains to be seen. I have never seem him as a big time scorer, but who knows. Thing is, even if he ends up getting some points I would still prefer two bonifide scorers in our blueline - particularly for the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aardvark Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2019 I like Biega and feel that only him, Horvat and perhaps Petey give full effort every game. I don't see a need to rush him out the door anytime soon - he's an acceptable player on a reasonable (relative to others) contract. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For OJ if he is able to make quick outlet passes to Petey he will probably rack up some points. His passing is still his biggest strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby James Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I think we have a decent RD right now. Yeah our depth on the right isn't amazing I would agree, but Benn can play both sides and we have a lot of prospects that can hopefully start making an impact over the next 1-3 years. Biega is a solid #7 to fill in and while I don't wanna dump as many games on him as last year, his work ethic and hustle is excellent. If we trade Tanev though (or a big injury to him) that is a big hole that would need to be addressed if we are trying to stay competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Jalen Chatfield missed most of last season with injury but has looked good in his NHL camps to date. He is probably next on the depth chart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Oh and Benn will probably be playing right side. Not sure about Fantenberg, I believe he has played both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benn is as comfortable on the right side as the left. You also forgot Chatfield and Woo with Chatfield being easily as likely to play meaningful minutes soon than Beiga. Canucks are actually as deep on the right side as they have been in a long time and decent in compare to many teams across the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Chatfield or Woo are not ready yet for the NHL, both need at least another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
