He just became waiver eligible this season and came to Colorado for Stefan Eliott. i think it was last season as he played both in arizona and in portland their ahl affiliate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac604 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Lots of potential. Got stuck playing on terrible teams (col, az) I'd take a swing at him. Biega is good but can he keep it up? He might do better as simply an injury call-up this year. Pedan was ok but not quite ready. I don't have much confidence in Weber this season. Barty has been ok (oddly enough beside Biega) but when Hammer and Sbisa return, that partnership will be broken up because those guys should never be paired together again.

Gstank29 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 From what Avs fans are saying about him, he is worth a claim I would claim him, but I'm sure one of the 10 teams ahead of us will place a claim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I agree, but reiterating what some av fans have said they have stated he has been decent for them, for a guy like runblad was under a different voice. I think he could get a claim, I dont think Benning will as our D will be coming back in the next month but who knows another team might still see potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't want Pedan scratched they want to make sure Weber never wears a Canucks jersey again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 ^^Sure, if Weber ever played the left side. He's a right handed defenceman and has been paired on the right side of Hutton of late. Bartkowski has been used on both I think. 2 hours ago, Wild Sean Monahan said: I haven't watched many of Gormley's games so I can't really say I know much but I'm glad we passed on Rundblad. Lost defensively and skates like he's got cinderblocks for feet. What's the major issue(s) with Gormley? Quote Brandon Gormley is an interesting situation, because i still can't tell exactly what his ceiling is. Whether for attitude or just a clash of styles, Gormley found himself the extra man for the Coyotes before getting dealt for Stefan Elliott. He's got a better two-way defensive game than Elliott, but would go hot and cold- and when he's cold, it seems to build up on him. I think he's got a well rounded game and he's a decent skater, but nothing about his game really stands out- which is good because nothing is terrible, but bad because he has no one asset that makes him indispensable over his colleagues. I think waiving him is a mistake on Colorado's part, but I also think he's nothing more than a potentially solid fifth or sixth defenseman. http://canucksarmy.com/2016/1/7/should-the-vancouver-canucks-claim-brandon-gormley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I don't think that's a worry to have to slide him over with Biega doing well and Sbisa nearly back, but it doesn't explain your conclusion that some people don't want Pedan scratched yet still want to claim Gormley.

Tiger Gino Brash Ryp Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'd take a stab at him. Sit bartowski or weber for a few games to see what you got. Worst case Ontario you place him back on waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'd put in a waiver claim on Gormley. He's worth a shot. What do we have to lose? I would waive Biega, Weber, or Bartowski. Any one of those guys can go. If we waive Biega, though, he's most likely to go through down to Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 He should get picked up, I dont think its smart to give up on a promising d prospects thats play well in JR AHL and playoffs and is still figuring it out at the NHL, until there 25. Hes got a couple years I think to prove/learn to bring his game at the NHL level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 He looks like a late bloomer according to his stats. He's had success at every level except the NHL, and has played limited minutes in the big league. I'd rather give this experiment a chance than ice Weber. My bet is either Toronto or Edmonton will claim first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
