Agreed.  Very young core that puts up a lot of goals.  Goals equal points.  Points equal more money on contracts.  Guys are definitely going to be wanting to sign here, so they can cash in on their following contracts. 

As you said there will be room on the defense for young players. Sizable American cohort on the Canuck roster. Boeser and Hughes can take him and Madden out for dinner.

Aside from the obvious penis jokes, Rath of Khan, Rathbo: First Blood, Bonecrusher would all work but hockey players have no creativity so he will be Rather or Bonesy. :picard:

Whatever happened to the days when the nickname replaced the player's legal name? Chico Resch...Butch Goring...Rocket Richard...miss the days of nicknames like Jethro (Clarke Gillies), Hammer (Dave Schultz), Bulldog (Bob Kelly), Pocket Rocket (Henri Richard), the Roadrunner (Yvan Cournoyer)...Battlin' (Billy Smith)...The Axe (Gary Smith)...Elmo (Alex Mogilny)...The Great One...The Kid (oh wait, that's current)...the Bird (Larry Robinson)...Chief (Johnny Bucyk and George Armstrong)

I think Gaudette may be very key in this regard as well! Especially, because of him Hobby Baker win! Boeser, Hughes and Gaudette, hard to say no to them...…….

Does not seem like a guy we need to worry about signing, when the time comes.

Seems like a solid character kid...love those Harvard unis...Canucks colors (maybe more emphasis on the kelly green), CANUCKS where HARVARD is, with numbers on the front.  Those would be epic third jerseys.  IMHO.

Benning expects this guy to make the Canucks in the next couple years!

I think a year of running the powerplay in Utica, and he will start getting games on injury relief in Vancouver.

 

I think he's actually fairly close as he comes out of College. I would expect him to sign as soon as the season in College is over.
