Theguy Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I know there is a lot of negative questions to be asked about Canucks organization. One I don't understand is why Jordan Subban hasn't been given opportunity to play at this level yet? He has 11 points in 9 games with the comets so far good for 1st among defensemen. He's a very passionate player who's done nothing wrong or undeserving of an opportunity to play with the big club. And its not like he will be in a winning environment with either team. What is everyone else's thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Can't play defense. Better to be playing in the AHL major minutes to improve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 His point production is extremely promising. From what I gather his defensive game still needs work; his size is working against him. I'm not worried about him though, he's made noticeable strides each year since we drafted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeekz37 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 He will get his time one day. Just not this season and probably not next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Glensky Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hes probably best off staying down in Utica this year. Do you really think he would thrive under Willie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Burrows Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Only if we get rid of Larsen. We dont need 2 tiny Dmen. And honestly at this point I think its a good idea. I hate Larsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we continue on this slide, we're eventually gonna run out of options. And I don't just mean personnel-wise, I mean fan-wise. He has a style of play, and let's face it, also the name, to attract some sort of excitement to the team when there isn't a lot for the average fan to cling onto right now. Will it be better for his development continuing to play big minutes in Utica? For sure. But putting the interest of a player's development first hasn't exactly been the team's MO this season. I say he gets a sniff later this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 He should be put on the wing, since this team clearly lacks speed and skill down the wings. Alas, he is not part of this regimes plans, thats why he gets sent down so early. Once again, another shining example of how this organization FAILS to develop offence.

Tre Mac Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I reckon he's head and shoulders above Larsen in almost every facet of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Someone needs to lead the line for our Comets and put some playoff hopes for the fans who watch in the Aud and he's that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 11 points in 9 games for Subban. Very good for a D. There is quite a logjam on D, and I'm not sure he'll get his chance for some time. RDs ahead of him: Tanev, Gudbranson, Larsen, Stecher, Biega But why not let him play forward? Canucks got a bit lucky with Hutton and Stecher, and then drafted Juolevi. Canucks could use scoring up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 At this point, might as well trade Subban for a 2nd, I wudnt be surprise if a team pays a 1st for him. We gave the kid 1 pre-season game and sent him down. Freaking pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any more injuries to the back end though, you gotta call him up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
