canucklehead80 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's not only a no risk chance to evaluate a player, but it at least gives these guys a chance to showcase themselves to the rest of the league. Don't really think there is much room and wouldn't want it to affect the playing time too much of some of our younger guys trying to prove themselves. Although, may get them to push themselves that much harder in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually a PTO, Probably a better scenario for us. Two way contract with a min NHL salary. He was thus committed to our system for little risk if he did not make it. Albeit would have had to pass through waivers to go to the minors. And, you know, he won a roster spot he was not expected to. Still proving you bring guys in and give them a shot.

I guess we could sign Russel (is he signed yet?) and trade Edler or - more likely - Tanev? Yes, I could see that. Do you think Russel could replace Edler's minutes? Trading Edler and a pick would be the best way of landing a top 6 forward and in turn getting Russell they'd actually be stronger defensively and overall a win win.

Im actually looking forward to a 4th line of : Etem Granlund Dorsett Really? That could be a modern version if you replaced Dorsett with a guy who has a little more skill. In terms of traditional 4th lines and having guys with size who can fore check and hit and have some speed and grit Granny does not fit any of those boxes.

I prefer Mark Parrish. Also is Matt Pettinger still playing anywhere? I want the Canucks to bring him back. Need goals call the brabarian Jeff Cowan.

Please, phone JB and explain that concept to him. Or, have a face to face sit down so you can use pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly has an objective to improve the team and will make a trade if he can achieve that (ie Guds/McCaan). Not sure why people think signing Russell is an improvement over Edler. Adding a whopping 5'10 and 170lbs player who is the same age as Edler to team defence is questionable. I suspect the reason Russell doesn't have a contract yet is because he's holding out for $$$ and term. He will certainly do ++ better than his last contract in today market. BTW, I also disagree that JB is an idiot like you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JB is neither simple nor an idiot, in fact he is a genius. The problems he's encountering with media criticism and fan impatience is that it takes genius to spot genius and there are very few of us around.

mpt Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 A big reason we need some PTOs is the World Cup is on and with so many guys from our team there we need bodies to fill out the roster especially with all the back to back games in preseason and split squad game. If a PTO comes in and shows he's better than someone else, then they'll be getting a contract. Players go on PTOs to show the league they still have it, not necessarily the team they are trying out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
