[Signing] Canucks sign 21 year old Yan-Pavel Laplante


Recommended Posts

As long as the guy is a hard worker (which seems to be the case), this can't be a bad thing. He's young, and if he's a workhorse, he'll be a great influence to the other guys in Utica. 

 

Free "prospect" (I don't think he'll ever do anything in the NHL tbh), and if he's a good influence in the room and gets the guys to work hard, then it's pretty much worth it imo.

I'd be shocked if he even made utica.

If Mackenze Stewart can make Utica, anyone can.

 

In all seriousness, he should start in the ECHL and hopefully establish himself as a player right off the bat. Maybe he turns into a decent bottom-six guy for us one day.

just watched this fight. This guy looks like a gritty player that needs to get a year trial at AHL level to see how he pans out.

I will reserve judgement til then.

Geez..he kicked that guys arse..but I dont think we will see him in Vancouver anytime soon..other than training camp of course.

Obviously this means we'll be drafting Pierre-Luc Dubois and that they'll be playing on the same line together to screw with the announcers! Now we just need to trade for Magnus Paajarvi-Svenssonn

 

Yan-Pavel Laplante - Pierre-Luc Dubois  - Magnus Paajarvi-Svenssonn  for our wtf name line.

Reminds me how cool it would be to have Ryan Kesler and Bobby Ryan on the same line.

I would prefer all our prospects do 1 year in junior, 1 year AHL and then make jump to NHL.

I wouldn't mind it if he was with AHL and took the year to grow as a person and hockey player.

Its typically not possible to do one year in junior and then 1 in the AHL because of the AHL age restriction.
