Bo fan Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I would like to see Pedan actually play defense - as dressing him as the 7th defenseman sounds like a good idea. We know he isn't afraid to drop the gloves if needed. No idea how he plays really - have only seen him on the 4th line playing forward. So he may be tough but is he skilled?

It also completely dismisses the fact that despite what CDC thinks, Canuck coaching and managements jobs are to win games, not 'test out' players. I assure you, they already have a VERY good idea of what they have in Subban and where he's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only games he has sat are because of injury..he has played 18 of Uticas 22 games...he has been back around 3-4 games and been first star and playing well...granted he didnt hit the score sheet early on and wasnt playing to his top level...also hasnt had a fight this year which leads me to think he might have been fighting some sort of injury early on.

The irony is if they converted Subban to a winger, he'd probably be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaguez Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Pedan probably won't see a game. Called up, practice, sent down when Larsen returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 56 minutes ago, mll said: That's actually what Cooper has done last year for about 30 games - even at times in the playoffs. They dress 7Ds and play them as Ds - freshness but also in case of in-game injuries or penalties. It also allowed to increase the minutes of some of their younger more offensive Fs instead of dressing a 4th liner, by giving them additional shifts on that 4th line. May as well give this a try. It's not like WD's new strategy of shortening his bench is giving the 4th line any meaningful minutes anyways. Heck, may as well dress 9 defencemen so we can better defend with "structure"...it's all about "structure". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything. But concussions are COMPLETELY unpredictable. He could be back in 2 weeks, he could be out for the season, he could be wrecked for life. No way to say.

EdgarM Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 He should have been in before Larsen in the first place. Too bad for Larsen someone made that decision. Our players have been getting beaten up for awhile now and Pedan should have played long ago. Better late then never I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't explain the reasoning at the time he was scratched. No injury report. So people were speculating that he was healthy scratched. At the time he was also coming off a stretch of inconsistent play, so there were reasons behind the speculation. We later learned Pedan was injured. Since coming back, he's been fairly solid. And has been showing signs of being the type of impact player he can be (arguably their best D a couple of the more recent games). My only concern is that Pedan ends up sitting in the press box. He seems to be rounding into form nicely right now and I'd rather see him play, whether in Utica or Vancouver, than sit and possibly lose the spark he's been showing lately.

I would expect at least 2 weeks even if he has no symptoms just to go through a thorough concussion protocol after a hit like that. As you say, it could be much longer. I hope he fully recovers whether or not he plays here again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Willie: Hey Andrey. Welcome to Tampa. How's it going? Real good? Pedan: Yeah. Great to be here, Willie. Where's Nikita? Willie: Here's your stuff. Pedan: What? Willie: And here's a ticket back to Utica. Thanks for coming oot, buddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 He is considered an emergency call-up? Meaning he could be sent down before 10games/30 days (I think) without going through waivers or it's a simple call-up and will have to go through waivers once everyone is healthy?
