IMO, he either earns a top 9 spot or he's on waivers. Locked? No. But I think he's written pretty firmly in pencil. One of those really dark, soft graphite ones that's hard to erase I would say the chances of the canucks not having other players get hurt in the first 2 months of the season before roussel is ready is virtually nil. by the time he's ready, there will be other players hurt, making the roster issue moot.

Did he play tonight? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Jake played last night and got an assist and played well from what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him steal the puck from a guy at our Blueline or neutral zone from behind the guy. That was kinda fun to see lol. This isn't a full Nhl club we faced tho. Last two games should be better representations. Hopefully Ottawa's NHL team isn't like an AHL squad lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Loui deal or something something else that ships out some unwanted Salary. Wishful thinking on my part probably.

Even include some salary retention on LE. Sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Ottawa's NHL team isn't like an AHL squad lol It must be really hard for guys to play within their team’s defensive structure when the goalie plays as poorly as last night. I think all our players struggled, because they had no confidence in their goalies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boedker makes actual $3M this year. Eriksson has $1M left this year and $4M each year over the 2 remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically deferring payment. I'd be pretty surprised if Eriksson didn't retire after that (or before) but if not, here's a Goldobin for your trouble.

Alflives Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 There are some who think we should have drafted Ehlers instead of Jake. Is Ehlers @ 6 million worse than Nylander @ 7 million? So glad we didn’t take one of those two cap suckers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be right, he might be the kind of guy that needs to be traded away from whats familiar to finally get motivated to be consistent in his effort.

Just speculating, maybe he still hangs around his school pals, instead of athletes and needs to be removed from them to grow? It's too bad if he does get traded and grows into what everyone hoped, and his opportunity to play at home is lost for him as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be some on CDC that know more about him that could maybe answer that one. Edited September 24, 2019 by Jimmy McGill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung1 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 long time jake supporter. no longer after tonight's game. seeing Jake make the same mistakes over and over. too many giveaways on lazy, boneheaded plays. too much holding onto the puck when he has an open teammate. I dont think hes gonna get it. at least not in vancouver. maybe he is distracted playing in his home city. a trade might be best for both parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) I agree with the idea he's become complacent. It's too bad b/c he's got incredible physical ability. Its not like he's new here, its been 5 years since he was drafted. But Josh Leivo came in as a free pickup last year & out-played him. This feels like Jake's biggest year. Brock, Petey, Hughes (& Demko too probably) have all surpassed him as younger or lower picks. Those guys commitment was never questioned. I do really want Jake to succeed, he's so unique, but how much longer does he have to prove himself here?
