@Ossi Vaananen Not really. Have you even looked at their stats? Hudon would be very redundant on our team - probably we'd end up waiving him because we have our own roster issues.

Lindgren is a goalie. We have zero space for him.

Greer looks good in the AHL, but doesn't look ready for the NHL. No one can claim him for the AHL. Everyone has to make the claim for their NHL roster. Greer does not belong in the big leagues yet.

Connauton may be the more prominent one on this list, but this is like his 4th team lol. He's a defensive liability.

Seriously, Goldobin shines compared to everyone on this list, at least in terms of NHL calibre. I think AJ Greer will end up having a better career overall though.

I was shocked when I saw Connauton has over 300 NHL games on his resume.  Sure makes that Gillis Derek Roy trade look awful (we also gave up a bottom 10 2nd round pick in the deal).

@NewbieCanuckFan Derek Roy was actually ok for a little while, then he disappeared in the playoffs. More of a miscast guy, more than anything.

Connauton is a depth defenceman. He's been on four teams. He might get claimed and it would be his fifth.The Canucks could've re-claimed/traded for him all these years. They can even do it today/tomorrow. He'll probably get claimed - and it would be his fifth team. He's an okay depth piece, but by no means does he make a team become playoff contenders.
