billabong Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 In 21 games with Florida, no goals and 5 helpers maybe with Rodin essentially done for the year we may need to bring in a player to replace him But it wouldn't be that much of a head scratcher if we pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 He'd be a fine addition to an AHL team, but not an NHL one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sygvard Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Its a shame, cause he has a cool name. And yes, I low key judge prospects on how cool their names are. Just watch, its gonna be the new analytics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 From 1st line to waivers? You'd think if they'd demote him to the 3rd or 4th line first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 he would be a great add to the lineup but I imagine Benning passing again since we have Boucher already and if he passed first time around he was on waivers by JB, only seems logical that he'd pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecoldstevebernier Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think this is a pretty obvious pass. Boucher deserves more chances to show what he's got and as much as I'd love to send Megna to the minors to make room for someone new, we all know that won't happen.

Actually so far in this thread most are wanting to pass and that's a good thing for a change. Speak of waivers, Pavalec with the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wrong on some players (Nick Jensen sounds like an NHLer, but he busted), and I'd have Puljujarvi as a bust based on his name. Jake Virtanen would be an NHLer according to my name analysis, so we'll see how that pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most embarrassing is when I spend a couple months doing prospect research, but all of it is done on the computer over text and written stats. So I never get the chance to hear the names said out-loud. Suddenly they come up at the draft and the name it is pronounced drastically differently than I thought/have been pronouncing it when discussing the prospect. Puljujarvi was definitely in that club. I am the most clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 This is tough... Boucher deserves more of a chance. However, with Rodin injured (and likely not returning until the tail end of the season... if at all)... we are sort of weak in our forward depth. In all honesty, I think he's worth the waiver claim. Have him sit in the press box for a bit and then waive Megna and Skille once Hansen (and possibly Rodin) return. Griffith, like Boucher, fits in that "20-24" year old range that the Canucks are missing in their prospect pool. Griffith is also a proven goal scorer (at the AHL level, at least) and is probably worth taking a flier on... especially with our injuries. He'll likely get claimed by Colorado, though...

No, those names don't seem to have much success. Additionally, names like Fedor Fedorov and Denis Denisov are ones to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
