Captain Canuck #12

Did he tell you why specifically? Would be interesting to know.

And Anaheim. And LA.

@ChrisFaber39 Canucks centre prospect Dmitri Zlodeyev tells me that he has joined Dynamo Moscow’s training camp. He will battle for a KHL roster spot as a 19-year-old.

That's for sure. Everybody knows Tanev is the Flames' Poolman!

Must be why the Coyotes wanted him.

Almost in Vancouver..... I knew the Schenn signing would bring us the Cup!!

You know you've run out of good Poolman thread content when......

Officially 100!! Oops!

Haha! Looking back through these old Schenn posts, this is the one that caught my eye! Where did that Teves (Bieksa/Keith) kid go anyway--Green better have him in the top 6 next year for sure!!

Uhhhhh..........sure!

Double post

I was thinking/hoping along those lines too. My only concern would be with his skating. I'm not familiar enough with him to know if his skating would be up to Green's standards for a 4th line energy player. Being listed at 230 lbs. makes me wonder if he has a bit of a weight problem, and if so, how slow he is?

Anyone who thinks that OEL suddenly just deteriorated and lost all his skill at age 28-29 needs to seriously rethink their position. For a player of his ability, there's just no way. I can say with 99.9 accuracy that he got burned-out from being the heart and soul leader of a perennial doormat in Arizona, and that the thing he needed the most was a change of scenery. Being here in Vancouver, with all the skilled youngish players surrounding him and the Sedins in his corner, I have no doubt that he will resurrect his career. Mark my words!

I may be the only poster who actually remembers this, but Ferland's signing reminds me of when Pat Quinn claimed Behn Wilson off waivers in 1988. Having Wilson on the Canucks roster would have been awesome. He was a physically dominant, nuclear warhead of a defenceman, who would have filled all of his teammates with the courage they never had before. Unfortunately, he was damaged goods and ended up retiring at age 30, without ever playing a game for the Canucks. An equally sad and very similar story.

I'm sure he has no idea how Eriksson is viewed by Canucks fans. His thinking was most likely: 'Here's another Swede who plays (played) on the Canucks. If I say that I'm a fan of his, their fans will love me too!' It's likely just as random and as innocent as that.

So he had the most goals, least assists and highest minus in the top 10 on his team. Sounds like he may be a bit of a one-dimensional player at this point, who is probably going to have to focus on developing more of a well-rounded, team-oriented approach before making the jump to NA pro hockey.

I agree! How is it every year we manage to get all the guys who should have been drafted waaaaay earlier?? We're awesome!!

Whose name is....... I think you forgot part of your post!

Rough & Tumble!

If they get to the point of considering Michael Stone, they might consider Alex Petrovic as well.

What'd you do with Highmore??
