The Vancouver Giants have signed Dominik Volek, 19, from the Red Deer Rebels Thursday in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2015 WHL bantam draft and a third rounder in 2016. Volek ® is shown here playing for the Regina Pats. .....

can't believe they have come back this quickly ... last place last season and they are gonna make a run in the playoffs this year ,, good for you g men !!! crazy good !!

TradedAnthony Ast to Medicine Hat for a third round pick...thats one reason he was stock piling picks..Volek.

great move ... Ast seemed to be missing something ... Talented kid ,who just seemed to fall short .. maybe he will find greater success over in the hat ..

Big line brawl last night with thrower killing shinkaruk near the end of the game and the score was 3-2 giants.

I actually met Thrower the day after this, apparently the whole team just hates Hunter and everyone wanted to smack him round, he must be annoying to play against lol

Wish we drafted some of these kids,, only one we draft is K Conn and we give him away. Its a shame, I am sure a lot of these kids have dreamt of playing for the nux and staying in the city

Connauton joined the Giants after he was drafted (we drafted him out of Western Michigan).

Outside of Gallagher, Kane, and Lucic, the Giants haven't really produced many decent NHLers over the past decade. Franson and Fistric were almost out of the NHL altogether not too long ago.

2004:

Fistric - 3rd pair dman

Grant - Nothing

2005:

Brule - Bust

Franson - 3rd pair dman

2006:

Lucic - Top 6 forward

2007:

Blum - Nothing

Repik - Nothing

Machacek - Nothing

Sexsmith - Nothing

2008:

Bouma - Nothing

Wright - Nothing

Regner - Nothing

2009:

Kane - Top 6 forward

2010:

Cunningham - Nothing yet

Gallagher - 3rd line forward

2011:

Musil - Nothing yet

Tvrdon - Nothing yet

2012:

Martinook - Nothing yet

Kulak - Nothing yet

2013:

Geertsen - Nothing yet

Houck - Nothing yet

Fistric was routinely a healthy scratch in Dallas and Edmonton, is currently averaging 15 minutes/game in Anaheim while playing half the games (34/67). He missed 6 games to injury, was a healthy scratch in the other 27 games. Am I undervaluing him by calling him a 3rd pair dman? If anything, that's overvalued.

Franson is #4 in ES TOI/G in Toronto by a slim margin, gets the most PP time of any dman. He was #7 in ES TOI/G last year. Toronto almost let him go to Sweden because they didn't feel he was good enough defensively. So he's a #4/#5 and PP specialist on a team with a mediocre backend.

Gallagher has basically spent all of his time on the 2nd or 3rd line in Montreal and is averaging 16 minutes/game alongside a couple others (which is upper-level 3rd line, lower-level 2nd line minutes). He's on pace for 44 points in 82 games, which is upper-level 3rd line, lower-level 2nd line production. My bad, he's a 2nd/3rd line tweener.

So please elaborate on who I'm undervaluing. Brule who retired in his 20s? Bouma or Wright who are spare parts on non-playoff teams? Blum, who couldn't even crack the Wild's blueline and has cleared waivers several times this season? Machacek who hasn't played in the NHL for the last 2 years? The guys who've never played a game in the NHL?

No surprise that you couldn't make even the slightest attempt at presenting an argument. Congrats on your lazy attack post.
