If no one is willing to trade for him we would be stuck with another contract, but yeah he was a 5th round pick and is 20, but had a strong season so theoretically we should be able to get a return on him.

48MPHSlapShot Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Any reason why? PPG Dman and 200 lbs. Seems like someone worthy of a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Seemed to show some promise, but there are quite a few D-men ahead of him on the depth chart, it would be hard for him to ever get a look. I'd rather save the contracts for some college and CHL free agent signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Maybe it's to allow Utica to offer him a contract instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Considering how shallow our prospect pool is, this puzzles me. Over a point per game Dman in junior despite being an overager. Benning said last year's prospects tourney that Carl needed to work on skating and his own zone work. Must've not liked what they saw this past season.

If he gets passed over in the draft then we could sign him to an AHL-only contract, but we have a fair number of defencemen slated for Utica so no guarantee he gets in there even.

Yeah but Tryamkin and probably Sbisa out of picture gives Juolevi a legit shot at making Canucks roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda hoping this Neill decision signals a move toward inking Raddysh. If it came down to one or the other, I'd definitely take Raddysh over Neill. That said, I'd prefer Neill to a few of the guys we have given contracts to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the possibility we take a D-man in the first round, which would make it even harder for Neill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Aren't Tryamkin and Larsen still on the roster until 30 June? I noticed that CapFriendly have removed both of them. If they are then there is only one more contract spot available re the 50 contract limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeBrew Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I haven't watched him play, but he seemed to improve points wise every year and put up a solid playoff performance with 11 points in 13 games, so there must be more to this story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an overager those are actually pretty average point totals. D-men with over a point per game can be signed quite easily through free agency. My guess is his skating has still not reached the level they were hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 This one is a 50/50 to me. I'm okay with the choice, but I'd wouldn't mind signing him either. As DeNiro has pointed out, we have a pretty deep core on defense; Neill would be very hard pressed to make an NHL career here unless he dramatically surprised.
