I would have loved if you embedded a few of their posts :P it's crazy how many Canuck fans don't have faith in Jimmy to me he is our rockstar.

I don't entirely blame them. We've a history of being bridesmaids.

Yes, he's free, but is he a prospect at 25?  Would he not be more of a guy who will be what he is, and not expected to make big improvements like a prospect would?

Considering he's totally unproven in the NHL? Yeah, I consider him a prospect.

Everything's coming together to gift-wrap opportunity for Pedan.  Hopefully this is the year he finally turns the corner and brings his game consistently.  If he did so, he'd easily replace Sbisa as he brings more to the table.

He has all the tools to develop into a really solid 3rd pairing D.

Nice signing! I think the key is "NHL ready." Like someone else mentioned earlier, looks like it evens out the loss of Tryamkin. 

It doesn't, not at all. 

Unless this signing ends up being a major "Holm run". :lol:

With the coach gone I doubt he gets another chance.

I believe Biega is signed for another year.  He's a good #7 depth signing and you know how injury prone our team is.  Alex can play D or F, so there's a bargain right there.

Something's gotta give?

 

Edler

Hutton

Sbisa

Pedan

Holm

Juolevi

Brisebois

McEneny

Sautner

Billins

Cederholm

Candella

 

That's a lot of LDs

 

What are you up to JB?

 

Most of those guys will have left the team or will never make the team in the upcoming years.

Although we'd want/need to replace the loss of physicality.

Pedan.

Is he elite?  He needs to be elite.  We need elite.  Can only win with elite.  How can we get more elite?

This sounds like a job for apollo.

Yes, I agree. JB did say it, Holm is a depth D, so may spend next year in Utica. Edler will either be trade or leave in 2018/19. Tanev could also be traded at some point while his value is high. Guys like Sautner, Billins, Cederholm and Candealla may never play for the Canucks. Sbisa may get picked up by Vegas.

 

I think the re-signing of Pedan is to replace Tryamkin.

 

In 2 years? (if JB doesn't draft another D first this year)

 

Hutton - Gudbranson

Juolevi - Stecher

Pedan - Subban

Holm

Brisebois

Argh.... I don't know what to do.  Thumbs up for first sentence, and thumbs down for the horrible pun!

how about this one: if the fans end up liking him will they be accused of being Holm-ers?
