  1. The new NHL has some harsh reality... not long ago, Janmark and Martinook were pretty decent players.... and Andreas Johnsson too!!!! But now we got pretty good offensive depth so we won't have to make random claims like before!!
  2. I think Bruce wanna play it safe... in case Dickie becomes a real solid 4C while Aman is still a bit raw... and he's betting on Poolman offering more than Burroughs/Wolanin!
  3. So... Safe to say QH experiment on the right is over?? Seems like Poolman is gonna be our #4 D to start!
  4. So... Who's gonna claim that last spot in D? Wolanin? Rathbone? Does Di Giuseppe still have a chance to stick around? I always find him noticeable every shift!!
  5. Well... I don't blame him.. poor guy had a major back surgery... probably won't land another NHL gig... the league is getting more and more demanding so there's simply no more room for guys like Jake V as well.... hope DeKeyser at least got to enjoy the fine scenary and sushi here!!!
  6. It simply makes too much sense!!! But I have a feeling management is not gonna cut both Dickinson and Poolman... I don't know what it is.. but just out of optics I suppose?? But in reality, these 2 guys are from the previous regime... so why would they care how the media thinks??? However, one thing does work in Dickie's favour... and that's his versatility covering C and wing.... so he got that ahead of Di Giuseppe and Hogz.....
  7. We shall see if JR and PA got balls to just send Poolman down on waivers... The guy is so far behind and really needs time in AHL to work on basics again. No team will wanna claim him (sucks for us)!!
  8. Say what?? LMAO.. the club's admin is gonna hate putting through paperwork week in, week out for all these up and down transactions!!!!!
  9. Not really watching as I'm more interested in Jays and Mariners tonight... Safe to say Wolanin is close to winning a job over DeKeyser??
  10. Not sure why we had to throw this game away with an AHL line-up. I thought Karlsson and Kuzmenko can use some ice time before regular season starts!
  11. Can he hit and block shots?? I wonder why we didn't pick him up on waivers on two occasions
  12. Well... if not Juolevi... go for Hickey?? it's desperation time for Canucks nation!!! we need any D-man that can sort of skate and pass the puck cleanly out of our own zone!!!
  13. So... just to be clear, should we go for him or no?? He was on same line as Boeser back with Univ of ND?
  14. Might as well waive Dickinson too!! He shows no desire, zero passion to make things happen!!
  15. But do you really think JR is really gonna waive both guys?? Any salary cap implications other than minimal cap relief? But it is a real crappy situation... Dickinson or Di Giuseppe, Poolman or DeKeyser/Wolanin
  16. We just don't have the talent pool in D to pick and choose now... Skill wise, Boner is only behind Hughes, OEL and Myers... You really don't wanna round out last 3 starting D-men with likes of Poolman and DeKeyser.
  17. OK done trashing Poolman tonight... Dickinson still stinks... Hope he gets waived!! Even Aman showed more tonight!!
  18. I don't think most of us are criticizing Poolman for fun... The optics are just real bad!! Schenn doesn't have much speed but he makes up for it by doing all the simple things cleanly!!
  19. Hoglander was a bit disappointing tonight... Didn't go all out to show he's hungry to stick in NHL... He'll only be a placeholder for Mikheyev if he doesn't step up ASAP... Pearson finally showed up tonight!
