L'Orange Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Why did Gillis sign Joslin and Mullen? Is this purely for the Wolves? If so, is this because an AHler will be brought out of the minors? I understand signing Garrison, who is clearly a top 4 defenseman. However neither Joslin or Mullen bring anything the Canucks lineup currently need to the table. Are they part of a larger move during the summer? I need answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigs Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Depth for the Wolves. That was post 911... call the Wambulance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOB for MVP Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Joslin will likely be the Canucks 8th dman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsasaki Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Joslin could probably stay with the big club (not the lineup, press box with Alberts) for most of the time, Mullen is for the ahl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gran Turismo Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 For trade fodder, obviously. If Ballard, Raymond, 1st wasn't enticing enough, there's no way anyone could refuse that package + Mullen, Joslin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krease Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 We gave up Rome and needed to replace that depth. Joslin is inexpensive and has NHL experience, and could rotate into the bottom-two pairing along with Ballard (you know he's going to be there) Alberts, and Tanev, depending on AV's whims and what he wants in a particular game, or to cover for the inevitable injuries to our defensive corps.

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I think one of them was a Baumer replacement, the other better not be a Rome replacement. These guys are both pretty brutal so hopefully we never see them play a playoff game. I hope MG picks up a decent #5 defenceman at the deadline in case of injuries, otherwise if we lose say Hamhuis to a concussion and Bieksa to a leg injury, look at our defence: Edler - Garrison Ballard - Tanev Alberts - Joslin Jesus.

Kassian Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Joslin will likely be our 8th defenseman. Probably get a few NHL games. doubt he'll play for the wolves though. Mullen will spend the season either with Wolves or the Wings but I expect Wolves as a depth defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
