coolboarder Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 If the Canucks win this game tonight with Pedan or Biega on the D and their defensive game looks better with them throughout the game. I would like to think that Weber has played his final game as a D once injured players come back. I would waive Weber so I would keep either one of Pedan or Biega stay on the team when the team is fully healthy and go from there to rebuild our D and turn around from that point on.

aGENT Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 As cool as it is to hate on Weber right now... Weber as a 6th/7th D is not a problem. Weber in your top 4 is a BIG problem. That's not Weber's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on one game huh? It's going to be hilarious on CDC tomorrow if there is another loss tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I have always liked Biega when he has played for us, yes he is smaller but he competes, I thought he had an effective game last night. Wouldnt be opposed to seeing him play a stretch of games. Pedan on the back end would bring the size element we need, using him as a forward last night he saw very limited ice in a role he was not accustomed too. We have Hamhuis, Weber, Bartkowski as pending ufa on the regular d core. I still think we should try to retain hamhuis if he signs for a reasonable cap hit, help mentor Hutton and any young d men over the next couple years. But we should look at moving 1 or both of the other guys by the deadline. If we continue to play similar to this we wont be near a playoff spot come trade deadline I dont think. Just cant expect teams to falter all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherG Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Really hope to see more of Biega this season. He competes hard and has potential to be a solid NHL Dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 If you watch Biega can any identify what he does wrong ? I've seen no sign. Frankly he's an improvement on a number of players who play on a regular basis. Still we can only wonder what Corrado would look like today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlinkas wrister Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I remember thinking Biega was the player who impressed me the most after watching him play live here in Edmonton in the preseason. Not the flashiest player, but always making the smart play, always competing hard, always getting his shots in on guys in our end and getting in their kitchen. Now he's showing that he can do it when it counts. Kids a player, and playing at Harvard you'd have to think he's got a pretty good head on his shoulders too. I for one hope he sticks, we need what he brings to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Well, with Hamhuis's injury, this could be Biega's time to really make a mark on the lineup. Personally, I'd rather have him over Weber. I think having Weber as the 7/8 guy is fine, but anything more gets a little risky -- especially if he shows up in your top 4. With Hamhuis down for the count, it would be nice to see Pedan get a real shot on the Canucks blueline in the interm. Hell, from what I've heard, Ashton Saunter is getting steadily better. Maybe give him a shot? More of a longshot but could be worth it in the long haul (give Saunter, like Pedan, a little NHL experience now... could pay off later).

DeNiro Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 We just need a D-man who makes smart plays and can move the puck out of the zone. Nothing flashy. So far he's been able to keep it simple and provide that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Losing hammer is big, and I would expect Fedun gets the call, he's been the best D in Utica. Anyone but Weber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what the Leafs are doing. They get him off waivers then never play him. Basically I think Toronto took him off waivers not to grab a player but to tick off our team.

Anyone but Weber. I posted this in another thread: . . . Right now like most rookies Subban thinks he is Bobby Orr and can do it all. Occasionally he looks like it and skates through three guys. More often he looks like a cone. Subban is right where he belongs. Getting good minutes and coaching. If he gets his D together, you are right on that he would be a good PP QB. The guy who could surprise on D is Pedan. He is 10-15 pounds and another year away from the NHL probably, but he has range, size, can skate and is creative. But he needs to stay healthy (concussions). If pressed into service in Van he will do OK this year, but ideally he would be in Utica another full year playing big minutes, running PP, playing PK and controlling the crease. Cant quite figure out Fedun. Is his skating good enough? Is he physical enough? He had a couple of games where I thought, OK I see why he has a contract, then a couple games where I think he is career AHLer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I read an article from a year or two ago, and they used Fedun as a comparison for a "high quality AHL defenseman". Haven't really seen him play much. I might catch Utica on Sunday as I live in Toronto. I would like to see Pedan get some games in. On paper he is golden - 9 points, +7, 43PIM in 18 games. But Fedun has a slightly even more impressive stat line. Pedan is 22. I would hope he gets at least 5 or 6 games in this year. Plays 20-40 games next year, and is a full-time NHLer at 24.I would like to see the numbers on it, but just from following hockey closely over the past 16 years I've noticed that if a player doesn't make it by 24 (at least for most of the season) it is hard for them to crack the league as a 25 year old. I would make exceptions for college players, and add a year to that since they might be 25 with only two years of AHL experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Biega Bieksa? Coincidence? Clones? Is there a time warp continuum at stake?Or is Biega that good? We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
