Indeed, fallacious title -- no evidence Canucks "want" him back. Pure speculation and opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's just speculation, he's doing well for himself over there though. Don't imagine he'd uproot himself again unless he were guaranteed an NHL spot and we're not in the position to do that. Not unless they wanna swap Larsen out.

Hairy Kneel Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Larsen was a waste of time so no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoasting Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Isn't this the contract we turfed so he could go back home and Canucks could sign Subban to the roster? How old is he now? i somehow don't see a player this old becoming a difference maker in NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toews Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I watched the 2+2 game he had recently. All of his points came on the PP, and despite having a 4 point night he didn't really impress. Being spoon-fed minutes on the top PP unit of the best team in the SHL seems to have contributed to his success. I doubt NHL teams are lining up to sign him.

Tearing up the Swedish league. I'm sure it's been said, but the Canucks haven't indicated anything about wanting him back. This is just a guy noting how well Tommernes is playing and thinking there's a parallel to Rodin's recent return. I've seen a couple tweets on him today, but nothing from anyone important on any kind of actual interest either from his end or an NHL team's end to bring him back.

He wasn't ready when he was here, and didn't want to stick around to wait it out. He asked to go back while still in the middle of his contract. This has nothing to do with our assessment of his abilities, although him being older and developing slower would have played a role in whether we kept him considering the 50 contract limit.

You said late blooming older players (as if 26 is old) won't become difference makers in the NHL.

Well Panarin was a great player under contract to the KHL and the other was struggling to make it in North America under a contract. You must not watch the World Juniors... Panarin was noticed a long time ago with the gold medal game he had. Maybe Tommernes turns into such a player but i just don't see it. Panarin was rookie of the year, do you see Tommernes at that level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys make great points, considering that Tommernes is back in the NHL and rockin. Oh, I mean you saw him play in Europe. I mean, you heard someone say he was playing okay.....in Europe. At 27. Still, great comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.....let's see.....one was a bum in the ECHL at 26, and one was a star in the KHL at 23. Panarin wasn't drafted because he's a small Russian. The end. Don't expect to see Tommernes any time soon. But hey, we're all just groping in the dark right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
