Spoderman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Don't see the point in this, since we have Lack/Eriksson and Cannata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks fan in chicago Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He had solid stats in the Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostViking Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 They want players to compete for their spots, so there has to be one extra goaltender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22sedins33 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He seemed like he had a lot of potential at one point in his career. Still may with that huge frame of his. A decent player to keep in the system, especially without the loss of an NHL contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklax Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Seems to me its insurance in case lack isn't ready to go health wise, and in case cannata isn't up to the task of being an AHL number 1 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Former 4th round pick by CBJ, decent playoff run in the Q... 6'6. Not uncommon for an AHL team to carry 3 goalies. Corbeil is an interesting/low-end looking pick up to me, but all I am reading into is his stats. Pretty neutral on this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He attended the prospects camp. Looked quite good during the scrimmage so I'm not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keslerific Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm guessing this is in case one of the goalies gets injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Cousteau Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's always good to negotiate from a position of strength. For the Canucks, it's goaltending. Just one more way to stock pile our future, some will be used, flipped for other positions ( Schneider for Horvat is a recent example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Heyman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 We had him in the organization with the Wolves last season, they loaned him to a CHL team I believe. Similar deal this year, insurance in case of injuries/call-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 lol @ people asking "why" after the guy in the 3rd post already explained it pretty clearly. ---- Kind of off-topic but somebody told me that Utica is a temporary (1 year) home for the farm team. Is this true? ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 In before smurf Riviera or noheart or some other lui hater says "Omg he's technically superior to luongo even though he has as many panic attacks as playoff wins" ( he has 0 and 0 ... Cory had 1 and 1 ) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
