*Buzzsaw* Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 It looks like we're going to get Tanev and Edler back soon... and Bieksa is also on the mend. The AHL callups have performed extremely well, considering how depleted the D corps was. Which of the 3 AHL callups should be kept in the lineup, or should any of them stay? ----- From my perspective, Adam Clendening is the class of the bunch. He has good puck handling skills, can play on the PP, and doesn't make many mistakes. He has the best +/- of the group. I like Alex Biega, he is good physically, but doesn't have the offensive upside. Frankie Corrado, with his injury, just hasn't played enough for me to see him being kept up... have to believe his level of fitness is not going to be good enough. He should be sent down for a conditioning spell before he is given another shot. I would almost be willing to see Clendening play in place of Weber... Weber gambles too much and gets caught.

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Clendening stays, I think he's not waiver wire exempt. I like Biega's work ethic, and I'd love to see both Corrado and Bobby S get a shot. Hopefully we can trade Weber maybe for a 3rd rounder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Edler - Tanev Hamhuis - Clendening Sbisa - Bieksa (Should be Corrado but leadership, physically etc etc overrated bull$&!#) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Edler - Tanev Hamhuis - Clendening Sbisa - Bieksa (Should be Corrado but leadership, physically etc etc overrated bull) ROFL at your bieksa brackets hahahha hahahha omfg lol. Is clenny eligible to be sent down too? Honestly biega has been so steady. Clenny probably has the best overall game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkayloomeh Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I like all of our callups alot. Im wondering though if they are ready to continue to play like this for long periods of time. If so it opens the door to trading a few players who are redundant. Like rotten ron for example could replace hansen. Would not be opposed to trading tanev either if it could bring us a first plus.

Peaches Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Clendening's not really a call up, and I'd be shocked to see him in the minors any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Biega, Clendening's a full time NHLer now, he's not going anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Clendening. Corrado is close but still has few things to improve on. Biega is going to be a good 7th defenceman, much like Rome and Alberts were maybe next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Specter Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Definitely keep Clendening on the main roster and see Corrado or Biega as our 1st option call ups. It somewhat sucks that we haven't see what Bobby Sanguinetti can provide for the Canucks even though he has been called up a couple times in the last two months, but from what we've heard from Utica and Travis Green, he would be in the mix for the next available call up spot as well.

beni Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 pretty sure Clendening would not clear waivers to go down. Can send back Biega and Corrado when everyone gets healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren5556 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Biega has been good while he's been here but I don't think he'll be a full time nhler ever. He's a decent 7/8th guy and I am glad we got him there. Clendening is the best of our defensive prospects, Corrado is close but not quite there yet.

bigbadcanucks Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Fully healthy, I see the d-pairings as the following: Edler -- Tanev Hamhuis -- Bieksa Sbisa -- Clendening Stanton -- Weber Biega -- Corrado So to answer OP, that would mean Biega and Corrado goes back to Utica to help with the Comets' run for the Calder. I'd love to see Benning put in a claim and get Erixon on the waiver wires. If that happens, then I would send Weber down as well or try to get a sixth or seventh round pick from someone/anyone for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Clendening stays, I think he's not waiver wire exempt. I like Biega's work ethic, and I'd love to see both Corrado and Bobby S get a shot. Hopefully we can trade Weber maybe for a 3rd rounder? Clendenning is waiver exempt for the rest of this year but not next year. But he stays anyway. I don't think is a hard decision. However, I would also like to see Bobby S. get a shot. Looks like the Canucks will not be making trades. I would be delighted if Weber could be traded for a 3rd rounder but I don't see anyone wanting to pick him up for that price even in this year's crazy rental market.

Crabcakes Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Do waiver rules change after the trade deadline? After the playoffs start, teams can have as many players up as they want. Clendining will have to clear waivers so he will stay up. [Edit: oops, not till next year] Biega is 26, does he have to clear waivers as well? He might not clear. Corrado can go down so he will.

Crackers Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 So clendening > beiga yet beiga has a goal They're defencemen. Judging their play on how many goals they have is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'd like to see us try this when everyone's healthy: Edler - Tanev Hamhus - Clendening Sbisa - Bieksa Corrado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 lol won't it be funny once Bieksa returns and he continues to pile on the minuses. I hope Bieksa comes a new player, rejuvenated and ready to play the right way, if not, he will make sure we get swept in the first round because Bieksa was below average before his injury.

How many goals has Clendening got and in how many games. Now how does Biega compare. I think you are being a bit unfair. Also I like the fact Biega sees his first role as defence because when Bieksa and Edler come back we will have a D that always wants to pinch and go forward. We need more than Tanev and Hamhuis "guarding the store" in the playoffs. Biega has played some huge minutes, sometimes more than Clendening whih tells me Willie trusts him a lot.
