SaintPatrick33 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hey like I have said before, I liked Etem when he was with the Ducks, and wanted him in the Kesler deal, but hey thanks to Trader Jim we ended up with him anyway! This kid can skate with the puck and he has 6 playoff goals in 23 games. I am hoping him and shinkaruk can really light it up, who knows maybe he will turn Vey into a more offensive player. They have been making some nice plays in their time together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlinkas wrister Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I don't know who the power skating coach is in the Hat but both Etem and Dorsett look like they bought in hard- their skating strides are so similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Can I see Sedin-Sedin-Etem just for one game please I mean for crying out loud Dorsett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to know Willie's logic behind that. He did say the other day, he would consider putting Burr back with the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yesterday's game against the Capitals was messed up. Dorsett should NEVER. be on the 1st line. EVER. ...and Elder... Burrows has dried up as much as Higgins has, Vrbata isn't working out and Hansen is injured. Hansen probably gets the call to play with the Sedins when he's back. Burrows, Vrbata, Higgins, Hamhuis and Edler should all be dispensed of at the deadline. Edler doesn't want to move in so many ways I don't even know what to say. Put him on waivers and be done with it? I know that sounds ridiculous as Edler to another team is worth a pot of gold. But damn his brain farts and his seemingly lethargic demeanor. Yesterday was one seriously bad Edler performance. Hopefully Etem does get a tryout with the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 17 hours ago, Crabcakes said: To add to the discussion, I think that the addition of Etem, and his age (23) definitely gives the Canucks rebuild a push in the right direction and will speed things up particularly since Kassian (24) was a bust for the Canucks. I really think that Etem really is replacing Kassian and not Higgins. Very much agreed. I think Etem plays the power game that they wanted but didn't get from Kassian. Whether he has the pure skill that we saw in flashes from Zack is another question. No doubt we'll have plenty of chances to watch how these two players evolve over the next couple of years. I like Etem a lot, and was a die-hard Kassian supporter so I'm planning to enjoy this comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorrcoq Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Or he could turn out to be an underachiever like he was elsewhere. Too soon to tell. Most guys look good their frist couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ends up fitting in the lineup I'll throw his name up on my old Samuelsson jersey. A little early to throw around the word 'great'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nave Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Vey and Etem have good chemistry. Etem is a surprisingly good passer, and it's good he can play off a playmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 1 hour ago, coastal1 said: A little early to throw around the word 'great'! That depends on how you view things. "Great" does not necessarily mean Etem will pan out. It could merely mean is makes great sense for us to do that deal regardless of the outcome. Therefore, I don't see how it's a little early to use a term like "great" on a trade that's already technically happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Another strong showing tonight. Solid play is going to earn trust from Willy and more icetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He was quick to the puck, he was aggressive. Played an overall strong game. He will get his first goal with the Canucks in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stand by 'great' Etem is solidly on the 3rd line and Jensen was how far down on the depth charts in Utica? Who knows what the future holds but looks good so far. He's showing nice chemistry with Vey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I've said it before and I'll say it again, Etem has potential to be a legit 2nd line PWF. If Jake has the potential for 30 goals, so does Etem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
