RRypien37 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 He has toughness, so an automatic no from the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 At this point he has better NHL pedigree then a few of our own journeymen. Considering we lost Dorsett for probably the rest of the season, wouldn't hurt to bring in his grit and toughness. That fourth line needs some dependable players,I wouldnn't mind adding him considering he is only 900K and on his final year of his contract. Benning wants depth, well here is another chance to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Can't be worse than megna or skille. Could use some punch back with dorsett gone. I'd be hoping we give Labate that spot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateless Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 We're at the point where its probably just better to give Dorsetts spot to an AHLer to give him some experience and see if they can make the transition (like Labate, etc). Garbutt isn't going to make a difference on this team so there is no reason to waste a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin' That was my first thought, looks like it was actually Jeff Pyle according to HockeyDB. Willie came in a year later. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0054192012.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodycanuckleheads Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Jesus, it sure makes you miss the days when the guys on waivers were actually worse than what we already have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rattler Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think Garbut is a guy we could use. Pesky, hard hitting, a little dirty. We could have used him in the first TO game and he would have been useful in the Jersey game. He's always noticeable when the Canucks play Anaheim. The TO game actually made me miss Matt Cooke a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Only logical fit for him at this point would have to be Montreal. It makes too much sense for them to claim Garbutt. Lost arguably their top 2 centres. But here with the Canucks, no thanks. Doesn't have the scoring touch we have been looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think he's more suitable than anything that Skille has shown so far, with Dorsett out for the year, time to go gritty on the fourth line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Canucks will in all likelihood pick him up. Perfect Dorsett replacement for the remainder of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he doesn't really help them in that regard. And actually they lost their top centre. Desharnais has been the 3C for most of the season with Plekanec filling the 2C spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless. Filling the 3C spot isn't going to be an issue. They have lots of guys internally that can do the job. It's finding a 2C to fill in that will be the challenge. Garbutt doesn't really fill a need for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they would fit the same jersey too, extra/extra small;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
