Nuxfanabroad Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Is this the ADHD thread(?), cos' I still haven't found what we're scrambling for. Incidentally, how 'bout them quakes up in the Cdn archipelago, North Pole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton tanev tryamkin stecher Juolevi Biega pedan it looks young now but if our young guys keep progressing it could be a reality. I'd rather have tanev as a veteran staple in our backend then edler. guddy is good but tanev is better. that d is probably too green though for the org. I'm just worried if our team will be picked on again if guddy is dealt. Tryamkin is big and physical but he is focused on the play more then wearing people down. not that he doesn't. pedan in top 6 would solve that issue though.

Oh well let's hope I'm wrong, he's earned another shot (not by his play in Utica though) just by being patient. No player earns a shot on the canucks just for being patient. Pedan can bring something the canucks definately need..... Size , toughness and aggression. He brings the opposite of patience. He brings toughness and accountability to opponents that continually run Hank and Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty easy there, lots of stupidity on the CDC... On a serious note, we need size on D and Andrey helps there and he's still young which most here seem to forget.

I also watched him in the preseason. You don't often see someone look that bad. Willy saw it and pulled him immediately. The fact that he couldn't get in under the circumstances described above should tell you something. But of course, you would know way better than that garbage coach amirite?

Secret: if you hit the reset button just before the ball gets to the other player, it will suddenly bend its path and they'll miss. Resets the score, but the reaction is worth it.

Really. No fooling. Getting rid of a player like Edler in this fashion is indeed saying to the rest of the league, "Hey, we're tanking!" Personally, I find such a strategy to be despicable and I'd give up on the team at that point. The Canucks do gain cap space, and then do what with it? Acquire a UFA or two? Why do that when it takes away from potential playing time for the team's prospects? Not the optimal plan in my books, chum. And for those who want a tank, if Edler is so bad then why do you want him to leave? He plays a lot of hard minutes, often with strangers for a partner, and having him do that allows the younger talents to play a more sheltered game. Either way you get your losses, and this way the prospects get to develop and gain some confidence. regards, G. exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
