komodo0921 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Sounds like a Tanev type player and that's not a bad thing. If he comes as advertised, he would be a good defensive player to offset our young dmen who are still developing at the NHL level, namely, Hutton and Stetcher. All in all, a good signing.

I really wouldn't be opposed to him sitting as a plug and play wherever in the line up. Agreed, I actually thought he was a very effective fwd.

Reminds me of Lumme I kinda have a good feeling about Jim's latest pick up signing . I also think the smaller rink may also enhance his corsi stats. His first pass or shoot nuances are clever an subtle to almost deceptive. He appears to be well grounded, This is gonna make a down the road trade of Hutton or whomever they may move all more possible if he pans out for team. I have a feeling he will be perfect stop gap interim measure until the newer revamped D is upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that JB will be trying very hard to make some moves near the end of camp, especially if some of the kids look like they belong in the NHL.

I guess there still could be a FLA trade involving Guddy, maybe for Pysyk and FLAs 2018 1st rounder? can't see it being for less than that. Tanev to TO makes sense but its really complicated by TOs cap situation. But if Holm looks stellar during camp, that makes Hutton the most expendable... but how much is he really worth?

I have a tough time seeing Guddy going anywhere, Tanev almost the same, best choice would be Edler, IF he's willing, which is a very big if. I think both forward and defense are likely to need either some trades or some waivers, depending on how the kids look in camp. JB's going to have some difficult choices this fall, but I like this kind of tough choice over last year's Skille or Chaput or Megna or Cramarossa type choices.

Either that or there is the ol' trick of waiving people early at camp when none of the other teams have settled their priorities and aren't looking to add anyone. It has worked before. In any case I love the idea of having more bodies than jobs. That way every position will have a competition, and a hearty one, before the roster is finalized. That's always a good thing. There's always injuries too. We can figure out what to do with the extra bodies once we see what we have. GCG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Ward Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 It seems like Philip Larsen has soured everybody on this type of acquisition on defense. This guy was the top +/- in the SHL and the highest scoring defensemen on the top team in the league. He also played a strong role for Sweden at the World Championships, where he won a gold medal. I am excited about this signing. I think our defense is actually looking pretty good. Del Zotto Tanev Edler Stecher Hutton Gudbranson Holm Wiercoch Holm and Wiercoch and Biega or possibly Juolevi allows us to trade Edler or Tanev and still field an decent defense. And again, just like the forward ranks, Benning has created a competitive environment. You have to earn your spot, there is clear cut top 4 or top 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 This year's top 9-10 D. are a clear step above last year's....Holm is way more of a sure thing than Larsen and Del Zotto is better than Sbisa...Wiercoch is better than Biega and we will have Guddy for more games then last year ...one would assume. A trade is the only way I see Joulevi making the team but Holm could be the guy visibly keeping him off the team by being almost as good but more consistent.

DrJockitch Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Has been on PK and PP as well, same as Chattfield. Feel like the Pouliot addition has probably sealed Holm's fate for the year as AHL D-man with occasional callup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a matter of how well and how fast he can adapt to the North American game and Canucks systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really doesn't impress me and he'll past the whole year in the AHL if it's not exchanged before!! Too much ice time for me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give him a bit of time to see if he can improve his other areas with practice and coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
