ItsMillerTime Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Sorry for all the Gubransson and McCann threads! But this is interesting to look at. McCann A Center/Winger was traded to a strong Center core so people thought just put him at left wing. Smith,Huberdeu and Jokinen are all ahead of him on the left wing. McCann sounds like he will play in the AHL this year or on the 4th line. If he did play in the AHL he is playing on a Portland team what was 4th in their division. Or playing limited minutes in the NHL probably not getting any special teams. For the next 2 years this is what it seems like on the left wing LW: Line 1 Huberdeu line 2 smith line 3 Jokinen line 4 Crouse AHL McCann? So he won't have much chances of being a left winger on the Panthers. Barkov Bjugstad and Trochek aren't going anywhere. They got Grimaldi and some other guys but I guess he has the 4th line? Now look at Gubrannson behind Ekblad Kulikov Matheson he will be able to be a main guy. Probably will play 20 minutes now on the Canucks maybe on the 1st unit for D with Edler or something like what Ottawa does 1 defensive d man and 1 offensive. But any way he will for sure get penalty kill time and get to have more opportunity on a young Canuck team. I guess McCann wins the place he will be living at but Vancouver he amazing in the summer time. Well thanks for reading it and think about poor McCann playing in San Antonio or being a healthy scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted Zebra Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Line breaks help a lot. Jokinen is good but not a mainstay on that line. It should take some time, but the kid should be fine, at least a 2nd/3rd line tweener. If not then we move on and it's not worth discussing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Florida only wins the trade if McCann goes legit, McCann only wins if he can crack a spot, palm trees be damned, the kid will want to play in the NHL. He was rushed in this year, shoulda been sent back to Jr, but we needed C and he filled a gap, which he didn't so a great job at in retrospect. Also @ItsMillerTime , please put more white space in your post, I didn't read it because it's a big fricken wall of no time to think, and I only responded to your title. I'm not the only one who hates walls of words, and prob won't be the only one to complain. Gimme space, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida thinks they are stacked on D, we traded our depth for their depth, but keep in mind, You can't just throw someone into the Left wing position and expect him to thrive. McCann's never played the wing before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Out of all our prospects McCann has shown he has the It factor, he made slick plays with the puck, he was learning at a great pace. He could turn out to be a real first line stud. His shot alone and he has something Virtanen lacks which is hockey iq. Could be a future Drouin, we will see in 3 years.
