SAnuck Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Sheltered minutes? what exactly does that mean? He was 13th in ice time for coyotes forwards and still produced some numbers in the reg season and playoffs When was the last time Ebbett or schroeder played a full season? Oh right, schroeder never, and ebbett never. If youre going to bash a player for something make sure the guys youre praising dont have the same downfall Schroeder is also tiny, we dont need a tiny, non-phyiscal forward as our 2nd/3rd line centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiDeN Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I watched him when he was on the Oilers, and holy crap was he no good. I didn't pay attention last season to him in Phoenix, but I dunno... Am I the only one that doesn't want him? I'd take Malholtra back ANYDAY before him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Wow! Can't believe 85% of posters here would love to land Brule... ... a small, soft player and... a mega bust! An AHL player at best. Oh yes,,, he is a Canadian boy and that is enough to sign him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 It' probably doubtful that the Canucks sign Brule. With Gaunce and Mallet already (most likely) going to the Wolves and the possibility of a third young center coming this way in a Luongo deal, in addition to Schroeder who may or may not start the season with the Canucks, and Ebbett who is signed two-way, who knows if there is realistically much room for Brule on the Wolves, or if the Canucks are better off giving their young prospects the minutes? In addition, it's likely that the Canucks wait to acquire a guy they are relatively certain they want to play the third line center role, or wait to see how Schroeder fares, with Lapierre and Malhotra on the roster to reasonably handle any contingencies. If Brule were to be signed, both sides would probably not be in much of a rush to make it happen, unless he agreed to two-way low cap hit terms, and a short term - he'll probably wait to see if he could do better or play somewhere where he'll realistically have more opportunity.

:D Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'd love to see Brule here as a sentimental pick from watching him as a Giant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc44 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'd definately take a shot at him. He was looking good in Phoenix last season. Maybe it will sway Doan more too,knowing that a team-mate has signed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kage0612 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Schroeder played 76 games last year - full enough - and had a better season than Hodgson did in Manitoba the previous year... For all the whining about Hodgson's departure, you'd think there'd be more fanfare and enthusiasm about Schroeder's potential - he is also Brule's size, but the two of them are faster and grittier than Hodgson...

bobopan Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I wouldn't mind if we gave him a shot, not gonna cost much. Under a million for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Brule is six years into his career, He is still an AHL call up at this point, sucked in Edmonton, he sucked in Columbus, 3NHL teams in 6 years...hello journeyman???? Also, we need size on the third line, not a drop out from snow white and the seven dwarfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thad Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 If i took a dump, and that dump took a dump, ate its own dump and then took another dump, that dump would still know more than Eklund. Well not exactly a good first post but hey, what can you do. Love to get Brule for cheap though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxLapierreAwesomeFace Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 News1130 Sports @News1130Sports Brule has plenty of game left - just needs the right fit. Won't be in VAN. Really liked the kid in junior..best of luck to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCammer Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I would think a tryout invite at camp might be the best approach as opposed to opening the cheque book. You can say all you want about Columbus being the wrong place for him to break in but he just hasn't done it consistently enough in his other two chances either.

oldnews Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Dont get me wrong, I dont question Schroeders durability or skill, I meant to point out that he hasnt played in the NHL, where everyone is bigger and faster. And nobody knows if he can handle it yet. He and Ebbett havent played a full season so choosing them over Brule based on the fact Brule hasnt played a full season either is a silly argument If Brule were to be signed it would mean more competition for that roster spot. I would be happy as hell if Schroeder started the year on the Canucks, he would be proving everyone wrong, even me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We have to stop going after plugs and try to get a player that can improve the team significantly. We should try to trade for perron or Oshie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
