If he's buried on the 4th line there's no way he re signs with us. Willie is destroying our franchise R u serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you put the crown jewel of your young core on the forth line with the 2 lowest scoring forwards on the team and possibly on earth?! Poke my f$&@ing eyes out I've seen it all now!!!! This made me laugh. In a good kind of way. Thanks LaBamba (though I got to say, your previous post was a little over-dramatic...it's only one practice...what's wrong with a coach taking different looks? I'm going bet that Horvat is back with Baertschi for practice long before opening game on Saturday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A PTO that turns into a one year one way deal for a 29 year old 4th line journeyman who had a good training camp showing is the "MOVE" you can get behind? LMFAO.

If Bo is on the fourth line with Burrows and Dorsett Saturday night, they will need a police escort to get Willie home alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I like this signing! Basically brings what we want from Virtanen in the short term. Without hurting Virtanens development by deploying him as a limited minute grinder. Skill will stir the pot for those limited minutes. While Virtanen developes his scoring touch in Utica.

Yes, but did not pan out with 2 other teams. Reclamation project by the canucks? may work out for them/him. who knows. But obviously showed something JB and WD liked. Guess we'll see.

Etem on waivers...Rodin most likely to be placed on LTIR...Ruutu released. Gaunce has made the team for all intents and purposes...same with Skille.

And some media idiot said Burr was getting waived today....... And according to TSN Virt was a guarantee to start in Utica this season......... Seriously.

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 With Granlund playin so well it makes sense to move Granlund up to wing with Sutter and give him every opportunity to become a top-6 scorer, and have Skille fill that 4C role. 10 minutes a night, bit of PK time, can't ask for much more than that.

Fanuck Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 He played every shift desperate and ready to stand out. Ruutu didn't - plain and simple. Canucks need some desperation in their game - that alone is worth something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
