Chris_P Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'd have no issues claiming him. Could be pretty good if he figures it out, if he doesn't nothing is lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A troll comment regarding Rendulic don't change that. I don't know any fancy stats... all I know is 99% of the board here would have wanted to see JB get active and pick up Parenteau and Pirri for such low costs.... it's got nothing to do with Megna and Chaput who are very good AHLers.... my super simple point was JB had multiple opportunities to pick up NHLers to help out offense without giving much and you are defending his option of sticking to AHLers who can't score..

You're right about it not being about Megna and Chaput - it was about your claim that Benning will recall Rendulic and why . In any event, waivers come at a specific time - when this team had a healthy Hansen, healthy Dorsett, etc it made less sense to claim a player that was unlikely to earn a spot. Right now - is it's own context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't translated yet at the NHL level, but skates well, can shoot the puck, good possession player - and LW. Claiming him might light a fire under Baertschi.... On the other hand, our depth callups have played well - hard to argue with the promote from within approach thus far. You also forgot to Add that he doesn't score goals which Jim Benning loves. As long as he can skate from 1 end of the ice to the other really fast he is a lock for the 2nd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 5 hours ago, DeNiro said: We got Megna and Chaput, why would we wanna take a chance on a young former 1st round pick with promise? Both appear to be nearing the end of their waivers exemptions. Megna in 3 days (recall was October 24) and Chaput in 3 games (has dressed for 7 already). Might be worth making a waivers claim for depth and sending someone down before their exemption ends. Not necessarily saying Puempel is "the guy" worth claiming but the timing might be right to start seriously considering the guys that cross the waivers wire. Can always recall somebody if the waivers claim doesn't work out. Chaput is definitely looking like a guy who might get claimed if he uses up his 10/30 exemption and he's exposed to waivers again. So we might be best served sending him down while he's still exempt, unless he's staying with Vancouver for the remainder of the season. Megna probably clears again easily but given Utica's limited depth, it still might be worth avoiding any risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB wouldn't take a chance on Pulkkinen, Griffith, Parenteau, Paajarvi.... what makes you think Puempel is a better fit? JB would rather call up Rendulic to tease your guys! I would love too see Rendulic he looked good in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may not be popular around here but I also wouldn't be opposed to sending Gaunce back down, claiming a guy like Puempel and keeping say Chaput up. Sedin, Sedin, Sutter Burr, Horvat, Hansen Baer, Granlund, Eriksson (heavily ozone starts) Puempel, Chaput, Dorsett Skille as extra again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdaddy Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I still think the Canucks are too easy to play against. Id like to see GMJB take a few chances on guys like Puempel. Despite what I believe to be solid drafting, the forward depth is still the teams achilles heal. I like what the team has in goalie depth and in the d-core. GMJB needs to scour the market for guys who might be able to score or at least fit the 'big, physical, fast' category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the classic case of putting a skilled player on the 4th line with unskilled linemates, and being surprised when he doesn't score enough. Guys like this need top 9 minutes with players that can pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd send him back down so he can get back to scoring in Utica, maybe build chemistry with Virtanen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 He clears in like half an hour or so right? Someone should make a thread about the uber cheap UFA's this team could have looked at as well as the Waiver eligible players also passed on by the team this year Call it: Did we miss out or CDC's hindsight madness version 3.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluralsight Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 And people rag on the Canucks for not developing any of their first rounders. With Puempel being claimed by the Rangers, the Senators no longer have any of the three players that they drafted, in the first round of the 2011 draft, in their system.
