Curmudgeon Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Speaking of McCann, does anyone recall him stating early in the summer that he'd gained 30 pounds since leaving Vancouver? I see he's listed now at 187. So I guess he then lost about 20 pounds after gaining 30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann won't become an NHL player. Florida sucks, and will not make the playoffs this season. They are stupid. We laugh at them. Oh, and the Coilers suck too. Mccann won't become an NHL player?!!! Not sure about this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like Guddy in preseason but I liked him in the first game for the most part. My biggest concern is that he's slow. I still believe we'll miss McCann and he'll have a decent hockey career but I'm of the mind that Guddy will be Gud enough for us to not hang our heads......hopefully.

For his size, I'd say he moves very well and I'm sure the Calgary forward who he swept the puck away from on the partial breakaway would agree.

cripplereh Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 for now seems we got the better deal but wait a couple years to see what the Panther actually have. I think this deal helped us more and with other deals we are on the verge of having some really nice talent for years. Boeser may take a couple years which we do not know but with him we will only get better! The NHL experts will finally have to put us as contenders sooner then later!

Or it's an easy way to make up a criticism without any basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where some of you guys get this stuff. Anyway... hopefully it's becoming more apparent why some of us were SO stoked when this trade went down.

I think his downside is that he is not as good a passer and is not able to make a quick pass out of the zone or be able to make plays in the offensive zone to prolong the possession. But speed is not his weakness. He has all the physical tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
