gforce31 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I haven't seen Pedan play but from what I've heard he is a big physical D-man which is what the Canucks need for sure. Sbisa is the only one on that D-core who actually makes players pay around the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm hoping we get a good look at Pedan and that he isn't just scratched. It's one thing to see a player in the AHL. It's another thing to see that player play in the NHL, as evidenced by other players countless times. Here's to wishing him the best of luck (or hoping that he doesn't even need luck to impress).

Why does he keep calling guys up to sit in the press box and then send them back down to call someone else up. Each player gets the opportunity to be up and train with the team (and collect an NHL salary). It's no guarantee to get into a game, but if they might be sitting for some time it's a good idea to rotate them somewhat and allow them to stay fresh by still playing in Utica vs being a press box pro for an extended length of time. I'd like to see if Pedan can get in and cope with the speed of the NHL. I don't think that was as much of a question with Fedun, although for both it is a question how much of an impact they can make beyond just being a safe player.

Maniwaki Canuck Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Seriously hoping they give this guy a game or two but not holding my breath. If his puck handling is still suspect he'll be under a lot of pressure and won't have much backup with our current D corps. Tire fire or not though, I really want to see him in action at this level.

canuktravella Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 im excited at least if you play well on farm your rewarded with a shot at bigs not like in past yrs when youd never see the light of day with the canucks. Stupud av wasted shirokov who was a bure lite with his hustle gave him one game which he scored then never played again which was absolutely mind boggling at the time. pedan is that big aggressive dman that clears crease that we gave missed since willie mitchell, i really hope he pulls a hutton and forces nucks to keep him up. I smell a waive ir a trade or both. Higgins and hamhuis need to be gomzo asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he looked pretty poised with the puck this past preseason, but that was, well, preseason. I dearly hope this kid has what it takes to make it, this team is just screaming out for some size on the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Not sure why all the hate for Bartkowski, I like him. I like his speed, that he has the kahunas to rush up ice with it and once in a while even drives the net. Weber is okay, has a good shot, but he lacks grit (and size). Sbisa drives me crazy with his giveaways and inability to clear the zone, but he is gritty and the Canucks need him. He's still not as bad as Bieksa over the last couple of years though. Hutton is the future on D for this team, and I can see him as a "poor man's" Green or Campbell one day. Hamhuis, although once very reliable, looks like he's aged 5 years since last season. Probably won't see anymore of those deadly hip checks. Tanev is our best D, period. Edler, in my opinion, is overrated. He's known as "Meatball" in my household - because he's Swedish and he plays like a meathead most of the time. Really hoping we get to see Pedan in NHL action.

Kinda wasting our number ofcall ups here Benning There's no limit on the amount of callups we can make during the season. The exception is what I think you're thinking of, when after the trade deadline teams become restricted to a limited number of callups (I think 4) so as to let the AHL lineups settle in during their playoff push. Now though, they can do this to get as many young guys as they want the experience of being with the NHL team. Even if they don't play it's a nod to the fact they're doing well with Utica.

Coconuts Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Nice to see Pedan get rewarded, here's hoping he gets in for a game or two so we can see where he's at. At the very least I hope it pumps him up and gets him training and playing even harder, if he can keep developing he could really be something for us in a few years. He brings a nice toolbox to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to see some big hits from our d-men - as well as making the opposition pay for standing in front of the net. Hopefully Pedan brings that to the table.

With our D-core so ineffective, I don't see the harm in giving these kids a game of two and sitting Weber or Bart. really surprised Fedun didnt "get a look" myself.

I think this is the most glaring issue this season so far. So many crap goals on us because we cannot police the crease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
