Smashian Kassian 12,548 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Considering the setbacks this is a bigger deal than it would be normally. Not to mention stepping into an intense 'playoff' game. At the very least he'll be able to build off this & be in the NHL mix next season. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post bbllpp 138 Posted August 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2020 Low minutes but made smart plays and didn’t look nervous at all, bodes well for the Canucks, too many Pundits/Fans gave up on this kid 3 3 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil_314 2,761 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Low-event/ low danger, mid-level ceiling for a start wouldn't be bad. Rather a guy like that than a Derrick Pouliot. Given time I feel like he could easily become another big-minute safe all-around guy, hopefully ultimately in the mold of a (poor man's) Josi/ Chabot or a Heiskanen/ Slavin type smooth operator, to replace Edler's role and complement Hughes (though having a left D-man with some edge would be great given how neither Rathbone or Hughes are the biggest guys nor are any of the 3 the most physical). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are in need of an upgrade on Fanta/Benn and maybe he can be that. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J-23 17,320 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 He had a really good shift in the second that really stood out to me. Smart dman, makes the right play. Looking forward to watching him next season. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's part of where Green said he played a heavier game than expected. I was glad to see that too and once he gets the timing down, I think he would be knocking some guys on their bums. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Coconuts 13,198 Posted August 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Trial by fire, he didn't play much but he played well in a very important game. Love it. Fully expect him to make the team as a 5-7 guy and from there it's up to him how far he goes. Edited August 8, 2020 by Coconuts 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Olli has earned a real chance at making the next years roster with how well he's done in the bubble training camp and now an actual game. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Olli has decent size, that seems to have been forgotten in all the "bust" yap over the last couple of years. 1 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I.Am.Ironman 2,878 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I like Fanta's game as a 7th Dman but after seeing Olli last night I'd be willing to give him game 1 to see how he does, regardless of Fanta's status. He would have to get more than 6 minutes and I think he would after playing a solid game last night. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
