    Podkolzin Buy Out

    in Canucks Talk

    Posted

    Benning said he'll be going back to play the 1-2 years required. They're figuring out if they could buy out his last year with the team. But I'd rather have him learning from Datsyuk if he's still there next year.

    Who's Cheering for Goldy & Jake?

    Expecting Jake to build on his good year from last year and figure out how to effectively use his body and speed to get a better advantage over players.

     

     

    For Goldobin, I'm hoping he steps up defensively. He still does coast around when he doesn't have the puck and I find it honestly frustrating when the play is around him and he's just standing there watching the play go by.

    Definitely love this kid, his creativity on the ice is just amazing that he's able to do SOMETHING with the puck that generates an offensive chance. His workout ethic is just crazy after taking a look at his youtube videos like his draft video said and holy cow was I amazed on how FIT this kid is. We are definitely drafting these "role" players that we hear so much about that have a huge effect when it comes to the playoffs. 

    Could definitely be a 2nd/3rd liner utility forward who can break speed, grit, and scoring ability. I understand that people are knocking him on his size, but I'm definitely thinking this kid will NOT have an issue just looking at how the NHL is trending into a more puck possession type of game style with smaller dynamic forwards making a huge difference in teams. 

     

    I wonder if Hoglander and Pettersson will do dual unicycle juggling with them just juggling things between them during practices lol

    Umberger jumped ship was because of contract reasons, not so much the loophole. The canucks (I think it was Burkie) nickel and dimed Umbergers contract and they were in a statlemate hence him ending up east

    Yup it was Burke

    China and India are also responsible for 80% of all the plastics in the ocean. Most of it comes from the crap they dump in their rivers.

    No they're not, don't spread lies when you don't know the real truth.

    Enlighten yourself, the US alone contributes most of the plastic waste from commercial to industrial use.

    We will not move Roussel and Beagle. They bring us tremendous amount of experience, agitation, PK ability, and not only that, we need a French guy on our team. Since Burrows left, we were lacking that "annoying French guy" on our team :)

    I'm going to enjoy watching Juolevi making stretch passes for breakaways all career long. He's that good with his first pass and the way he skates is very very fluid and can control the tempo for the game on the back end. Juolevi knows what it takes to win. He's done it all at the junior level to win it. Gold at WJC, Memorial cup winner. I can't wait to see him controlling the point where Edler used to be.
