JM_ Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I started reading this and thought, hey, what do you know, a not-negative piece on the Canucks out of the East.... until i got to the part about our top prospect "Juolev" and Darren Archibald making the lineup still A for effort in it not being a slag piece. http://thehockeywriters.com/vancouver-canucks-young-talent-may-spur-turnaround/ Link to comment
Wilbur Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Odd selection of players to highlight when talking about Canuck youth (except for Juolevi). Link to comment
Quantum Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 My two favorite parts of the article: Juolevi's name is spelled "Juolev" And Darren Archibald made the list over players like Goldobin, Dahlen, Virtanen, Valk, Stecher, Labate and/or Carcone. That said, I'm curious if Archibald has played his way back into getting a two way contract with the Canucks as a Utica mainstay. I'd be curious if a team like Vegas signs him to solidify there AHL roster. Having him under contract with the big club may actually be an improvement over having guys like Rendulic or Zalewski under contract. Link to comment
Art Vandelay Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 It may be positive, but it seems just super odd to choose Archibald and Boucher. One is a waiver pick-up and the other isn't even Canucks property. If if I were to highlight 4 players for an article; I'd choose Juolevi, Boeser, Dahlen, and Demko. Stecher, Goldobin, Virtanen, Gaudette, Brisbois, Subban all better choices than archibald and Boucher. Link to comment
Bur14Kes17 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Funny how theres absolutely no mention of Brock Boeser Link to comment
Coconuts Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I mean, it's nice that it's not really a slag piece but it's a pretty weak article as far as player selection goes. Link to comment
Down by the River Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Juolev = singular, Juolevi = plural... maybe? Link to comment

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Archibald would be just fine on the fourth line. At least he hits, and does the things a 4th liner is supposed to do, and even has a bit of offence. Link to comment
Derp... Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Nem Jó. It's not a good article in my opinion, just boring. Link to comment

I think the writer just googled "Utica stats" and picked the guy with the most points to talk about but who knows, maybe and eastern GM will think he's trade bait. Link to comment

ynwa Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Looks to me like Mr. Regan was commissioned to write something about the Canucks future, so he quickly Googled them, cobbled together this piece, then grabbed his hat and hightailed it to meet his buddies at the pub. Link to comment
MJDDawg Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 That had to be one of the worst written blogs I can remember. Archibald? Incorrect spelling. Incorrect facts. No Virtanen, Boeser, Dahlen, or Goldy...etc. But Archibald? It's funny it's so bad. But yeah, at least it's positive. Link to comment
