But in the worst case scenario, he has bought into some fringe anti-vaxxer theory that tells him he would be putting his daughter more at risk if he got vaccinated (yes, there are people out there who believe that kind of thing!). In this case, his response would undoubtedly be that he is putting his daughter's health above everything, including his pay cheque and his NHL career, and some people would call him a hero.
-
And the Canucks also wouldn't want him to report to Abbotsford if he is not vaccinated, so he doesn't even have to worry about going there either. As you say, he can just stay home and collect his full salary. The best the Canucks can get out of this situation is a bit of cap relief by burying his contract in the minors, if I understand this right.

Yes, but looks like they'll all have to beat out Burroughs (at least in Green's mind). I would have preferred to see Bowey given that opportunity at this point, but maybe Green sees something in Burroughs I don't see!
-
I think this is more of a question of whether Green just likes having Miller play C, so that he can potentially have 3 scoring lines. If so, maybe he just stays there, Dickenson centres the fourth line (until Sutter returns) and Lammikko plays wing. If not, then probably Dickenson moves to third line C and Lammikko gets to play centre until Sutter returns (that is, unless Green likes Dowling there better than Lammikko).
-
Actually, considering how highly regarded he was coming out of Juniors, the fact that he has bounced around to several NHL teams now, his combination of size and skill, and even his RHD status, I think his closest comparable is Madison Bowey. It will be interesting to see which of those two, if either, comes closest to playing to their potential with the Canucks.
-
Reading this, it sounds like Lammikko is exactly the type of player the Canucks most wanted and needed to add to their forward group. It's hard to imagine him not sticking with the big team. The only caveat relates to his poor face off percentage. Makes me wonder if they will play him as a winger instead of a centre.

Now this guy knows how to evaluate talent! -
For who?

Do you mean if he isn't named to the starting roster today and doesn't go through waivers today, that he would have to clear waivers to join the team at a later time?

[Waivers] 14 players - Oct. 09, 2021
Captain Canuck #12 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
The only possible reason to be interested in Brown is that he's 6'6". But if he doesn't kill penalties and/or can't skate very well, there's absolutely no chance Green would be interested. A few posters have mentioned Gambrell. Does he kill penalties and skate well? -
Is it too late to add MacEwen vs Kassian??
-
I'm thinking that Gadjovich being lost on waivers is what will ensure that Juolevi at least starts the season in Vancouver. I doubt that JB will risk losing two high draft picks on waivers within such a short period of time -- and as much for the bad PR this would bring as anything else!

Burroughs? Do we really need him?
Captain Canuck #12 replied to WEVEGOTMOTTE's topic in Canucks Talk
A memorable bow by Burrows. But have to say that I'm a bit surprised how much more of an opportunity the current Burroughs has been given over Bowey. Has he really looked that much better? I don't think so and I think Bowey might still have some untapped potential that Burroughs likely doesn't have. -
As long as Miller stays at centre, we already have that quality 4C in Dickenson.
-
Okay. Good to know. At least he's not getting too sweet n' huggy. That's not what I want to see from one of our prospects!

Any idea which one he is??

Actually, signing Demers to replace Hamonic shouldn't be that tough. Or is that doesn't work, waiting for all the upcoming waiver assignments and scooping up another RHD from there.
-
Today Canucks.com has a Truth and Reconciliation feature front and centre on their website. If they announced the new contracts today, they would have to push that feature to the background. That wouldn't go over well, to say the least. The new contracts will have to wait until tomorrow to be announced.

Sounds like yet another case of an American feeling entitled to do whatever they want to do on an airline since they've been allowed to start flying again!
-
This is the same Craig Button who didn't include Podkolzin in his list of the top 50 NHL prospects just a few months ago.
-
Judging by the look of today's practice, that seems to be exactly what they are going to do. Maybe figuring (hoping) Gadjovich is still enough of an unknown commodity that no one will take him.
-
We're going back to having to listen for any Canucks news when the sports comes on, just twice every hour.
-
But if he won't report to Vancouver, it's pretty certain he also won't report to Abbotsford. Then the Canucks can terminate his contract, if they want to use that money for Hughes and Pettersson, as well as finding a cheaper right hand D (e.g., Demers). Assigning him to Abbotsford seems like the ideal solution if he won't play for us this year.

According to capfriendly.com he does .

[GDT/PGT] Pre-season Game 1: Canucks @ Kraken 6:00 PM
Captain Canuck #12 replied to -DLC-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Didn't catch the game, but all I read in this thread prior to your post was criticism of Schenn. How did he really play??
