orcasgonewild Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hello cdc... We've all witnessed the college free agent dynamo Troy Stecher. But today listening to tsn Craig button mentioned another college free agent stand out... Zach Aston-Reese This guys got talent, he's a 22 year old centre/Right wing forward playing for North eastern university. Hes 6 ft 205 pounds. He's got 21 goals and 18 assists in 22 games. Button seems to gush about him and he also mentions that he's a teammate of Adam Gaudette. Don't think they play on the same line. Seems like their teams 1-2 punch down the middle. So what do u think? With the addition, potential new roster additions next season could be Boeser Aston-Reese gaudette virtanen and juolevi. Wow we are getting younger and better!!! P.s. Button also mentioned that gaudette seems like a solid b prospect and that lockwood also looks outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked this kid up a couple times to follow his stat line this season and it sounds like he'd be a dynamo signing for us. Hopefully college free agents take note of the success that Hutton and Stetcher have had signing with the Canucks straight out of college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Stammer- Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Benning is damn good at finding college players, I didn't even know who Lockwood was before the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adarsh Sant Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Benning will find him if he's a good fit for the Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I would love to sign Aston-Reese. The guy is a great shooter and could produce even when Gaudette was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I've been banging the drum on signing Aston-Reese for a couple years now. Hopefully summer 2017 it finally happens. Although I'd expect there'll be a few teams interested but maybe the Gaudette connection, our other NCAA prospects, potential opportunities on a rebuilding team, and the example of the successful transition a guy like Stecher made as a rookie pro signee will all work in our favour. Hopefully Benning has been saving contract slots to be very active in "free prospects" type free agency moves this summer (in addition to signing some of our drafted properties to their ELCs). Aston-Reese would be a great addition to the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
