Sbisa and hutton are my guess. No reason at all to trade Hutton unless the return is very significant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And good for him....seriously. He came here in drafted by Gillis regime right? This gives hope to guys like Olsen, Neill, Brisbois etc..... If this kids takes the next step to Canucks then it's another one of those "found money" pick-ups that are so valuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 My gut says that Evan McEney cracks the Canucks roster out of training camp this Fall. He became Travis Green's go to guy in Utica this past season and he was pretty solid during his 1 NHL game last year. It's looking more and more like Sbisa will be the guy we lose in the expansion and with Tryamkin having bolted back to the KHL and Biega not needing to be stashed on the NHL roster to make sure he didn't get claimed on waivers/guarantee his expansion eligibility... I feel like there's real opportunity this fall for a guy like McEneny to make the Canucks roster. Worst case scenario, he becomes to the go to call up for Travis next season. Still, he had a pretty remarkable rise last season and I hope he continues that trajectory next season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I hope he does because it will mean he earned it. Once he gets comfortable in preseason it should show that either him or Pedan are making this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 He really had to work to earn Green's confidence too. Got cut by Green early in 15-16 and sent to the ECHL, then was in and out of the lineup to start 16-17... eventually it became obvious he was outperforming a lot of his peers and by the end of the year he was on first unit PP, getting regular PK shifts, logging a ton of ice time. He reminds me of Stecher the way he can hold the line in the offensive zone, he's so composed with the puck. I think having Green as the coach in Vancouver definitely gives him a leg up because Green already knows what McEneny can do and knows that he's the type of player who'll work his tail off to improve. He'll be a fight with Pedan and Juolevi to make the roster for sure; each brings an interesting skill set to the table so it'll be fun to see that play out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that Green has never developed any AHL/NHL talent. Actually hoping McEneny and Subban get some NHL games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL body and solid positional play. A decent point shot. He caught my eye more than Joulevi did and I am not being negative towards Joulevi in the comment. He could have been a bit more physical.

dpn1 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Didn't he have a bad injury in junior and as a result didn't get drafted. He then just worked his butt off to get to where he is now. I think he was thought of quite highly before his injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 17yo, he'd been talked about as a future top-60 pick. Then he went undrafted because the injury scared teams off. Gillis regime development camp invite and signing and the rest is history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeneedLumme Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 McEneny looks pretty promising, but there doesn't seem to be room for both him and OJ on the Canucks blue line. Because I don't think the NHL allows 2 defensemen on the same team to wear the same number. Makes it too difficult for the play by play guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theguy445 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Shame with all our new shiny toys, this guy gets overlooked, he's definitely my dark horse for making the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
