yogolol Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I liked what I saw offensively from him in the games that he played but not so much defensively. I want him to become a regular on the Canucks roster but I'm not sure where he fits, especially if he we get a defenceman in the offseason. Discuss.

Hafizzle Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Probably will be spending a lot of time in the press box but will come in when there are injuries. It will be interesting to see how he comes to camp in September with a full off season of training and now that he knows our systems. Still doubt he'll be a lock for top 6 though.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 We brought him here for depth. If Salo decides to re-sign he can replace Salo on maintenance days or if there's an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Gragnani needed more time to get accustomed to playing for AV - he was a little too risk-taking at first, but with some more time could become a good offensive generator - I think it's too early to say, but right now I'd have to say he is in about the 7th or 8th spot behind Alberts.

Line Juggler Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hopefully he's #7 or #8 on the depth chart until he proves otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 He should be an injury call-up, get some games in the AHL for a while,, and just be called up in case of injury. Then maybe be a full-time 7th dman like Alberts was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_fo_life Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 This guy will blossom into a solid NHL'r, give him a year. He's almost there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Doughty Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Raymond has a spot on the team, why shouldn't MAG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kack Zassian Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 With Gragnani its likely he either plays next to Edler, or next to Tanev. I don't want to see him relied on heavily defensively, and I don't want him paired with Ballard. If he has a reliable partner he should be fine.

Silfverberg Snipes Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Nope. He's a defensive liability, which is the LAST thing this team needs after the crash course against LA which saw Edler make poor decisions and Hamhuis slip for the series clinching goal.

Rounoush Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I just wasn't really impressed by him. For me, defenceman always have to do one thing: defend. If they have offensive capabilities, that is a nice bonus. Gragnani is the opposite of this and that really bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underachieving Hero of CDC Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I don't see it happening next year. I think Ballard is going to have a much better year and the #6 slot will be fought out between Rome/Alberts/Tanev. Give Grags time though, he's got that spark that you look for in a prospect.

Grapefruits Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 It's not fair to pass judgement on him since the trade at the deadline. Coming into a big market team and into a new system isn't easy. I'll wait until after training camp to pass judgement, it's only fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
