Thanks Hobart; As you mentioned both Biega and Zalewski spoke well of the coaching so it made me curious. Two players who could have moved elsewhere but did not. Says something. Vey talked about Linden spending time with him and discussing the 'process'. I think Linden is far more hands on with this team than gets mentioned.

I am still hoping that Green hangs in and moves up to the Canucks in the 2017-18 season. He will have a working knowledge of most of the Canuck youth by that time and a demonstrated ability to develop their games. I will be the end of Desjardin's contract as well. Nothing against Willie but there is something to be said for having a younger coach with young players.

  

Having Linden as a mentor to players is a huge benefit.  Especially for guys like Vey.  Sort of in between full timer and part timer, i could understand guys losing sight of the road (so to speak) at that point in their career.  glad to hear TL is offering some wisdom.

Any word on Tampa scouts at the game tonight?

Apparently Yzerman and his scouts will be scouting minor league games over the break in their continued effort to try and move Drouin. Him watching a Comets game would be a definite sign we still have interest.

WE AREN'T GETTING DROUIN, I don't get how people can't get that through their heads. TAMPA wants a Defenceman in return for Drouin and we dont have any highend defensive prospects...

It was speculated they want a defenseman.

I don't get why people can;t get it through their head the difference between speculation and actual facts.

Anyways, if Benning still has interest he would find a way to get something done. Subban is a high end defensive prospect despite peoples vertical discrimination towards him.

So Zalewski is the top line center and scoring now? This is the Canucks 4th line center next year. He evolved more in 1 year than I think I've ever seen anyone progress. Something has definitely clicked for him and he's as fast as any NHL'er. His stride and speed reminds me a lot of Hansen. I'd love to see those 2 play together.

10 points in his last 14 games after scoring only 9 in his previous 23.

Something has definitely clicked.

2014-15 stats_arrow.gif Utica Comets stats_arrow.gif AHL 55 3 912  55 games 12 points last year and even got a sniff with the Canucks. So happy we signed him. I was pleading for it a few pages back and I'm so happy they jumped on this guy. 

What would make someone improve so much in so little time? Good for him, he's playing himself right into a roster spot next year.

Confidence and finish. I predicted that Z would have a break out year before the season started. Stats don't tell the whole story. Z had NHL skating ability last year but just could never finish his chances. This year he is playing with more confidence and it shows with his stick handling and shot. He will keep getting better mark my words.
