Green won't be as hestitant to play him when he does get called up. If Sbisa is picked up, which appears likely if Vegas scouted well, a roster spot opens up and when the inevitable injuries occur Subban will get his chances, and if he works on the PP he should become a regular.

Gaudette Celly Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I watched Bobby Orr play, then Gretzky, then Lemieux, now Crosby. Hasn't helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pending seeing him at this level, Brisebois might not be much behind Subban either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 That said ^^^, an injury/illness to Stecher probably gets Subban a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Jordan Subbans gonna make it just watch too much drive and pedigree plus league is trending towards guys like him smaller but better skaters than big D and he'll start your attack and power play. Why draft Makar or Lilegreen or whoever when Subban should be NHL ready very shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how his game translates in Utica. Must be frustrating for Subban, if he was 6' 3" and could play the same he wouldnt have to watch guys like Stetcher and the year before Hutton come in and earn a roster spot, and I agree quite possibly Brisbois will be next to pass him on the depth chart. I don't see Pedan making it...love his size and willingness to use it...but time is ticking. Biega reminds me a bit of a young Steve Staois, borderline player who's fiestiness and hitting kept us interested, but then of course we traded a future captain before he put it all together, and plays bigger than he is.

Why draft Makar or Lilegreen or whoever when Subban should be NHL ready very shortly. We still need a true top pairing, and we won't get that from a trade. Draft the best defenseman available this year, unless Valardi is still on the board. Next year Dahlen if we can, if not pick a center, defenseman take longer anyways so it wouldnt hurt to pass on this year's forwards. Hughes is the next generational player McDavid/Crosbyesque if we get him (and Dahlen, let's be greedy) we'll have our star power...now of course we need Demko to work out but we'd finally have our core pieces. If Subban works out, all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Maybe he'll also scout Yannik Weber I kind of like that idea, IBatch, that if Vilardi's available, you take him. If he's gone, take Liljegren or Maker. Canucks need RHD, especially if they trade Tanev at some point. Future pairings? Juolevi - Liljegren/Makar Hutton - Gudbranson Brisebois - Stecher McEneny - Subban Not an old, slow guy in the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdubuya Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 5 hours ago, oldnews said: He has undeniable talent. I always remember PK's comments regarding Jordan being the smarter player. If that proves to be true, there's no reason he can't emerge as an NHL defenseman, particularly if his work ethic is as suggested - being smaller isn't going to be the determining factor. thats a pretty bold statement about a 5'9 defenseman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
