As for Gudbranson, I think it was wise to keep him, he wasn't worth much at the deadline especially with the shoulder injury. Was kind of shocked we didnt shut him down earlier though so he could have had a better off season for recovery now it is going to go right to camp for a full recovery. even if we sign Brassard he will need at least 1 maybe 2 or more full years in the A before he could be ready. But as a late bloomer he could suprise also, it is such a crab shoot to know how a player will pan out after they are drafted. I think we have the space in the contract dept to give this guy a chance tho He was on TSN blabbing about how JB and Linden knew this team had no shot at the playoffs and if they thought that how does JB get an extension? Yet he never mentions all the good things JB has done. If you go onto the thread by Guardian he posted a link. Or you can just go on TSN and look for the article about teams and if they are tanking on purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Can sign players like Gudbranson for $800K, according to Ferraro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 That’s some nice recognition in the OHL coaches poll (Brassard named 2nd best offensive D in Eastern Conference). Great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Good point re: Brassard and the shootout: Kid’s been money on shootouts and penalty shots. And no flukes but scoring on some really nice moves (see highlights a few pages back in this thread). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hold Brassard's rights until June 2019. So, in reality, the Canucks could do the following: Sign Stukel right now (occupying an immediate contract spot), sign Brassard to a PTO to join Utica with an entry level deal that kicks in July 1st 2018 that'll start in the 2018-2019 season. This way Canucks can keep both players and get them both to Utica. This is a likely course of action for either Candella or Stukel (but probably not both) and probably for Brassard too. It's what they're doing with Kole Lind too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Definitely one of those "ah-ha" moment understandings that offensive-minded defencemen (and forwards) need to realize, to become truly effective and well-rounded two-way players. I remember when Petri Skriko first came into the NHL, "It's a strange league -- you work hard and the puck comes." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RetroCanuck Posted March 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2018 Brassard with at least one more goal tonight bring his point totals up to 50 points! That is very good for a 7th round pick! My guess is that he gets an ELC this offseason and helps Utica in a small role next year 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) 1G 1A so far so he’s at 51 points. 7 SOG so far tonight.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Generals are resting Brassard for their final game. So he’ll finish the regular season with 51 points. Here’s a YouTube shift highlights video from his last game: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say that it shows were not rebuilding. Yet He is still young, And we don't have A bunch of young kids in the pipeline better than him ATM. Really hope this kid turns out to be another Genious pick by JB. More so after hearing Ferraro's rant about JB Gudbranson’s injury record makes him look like Tanev2, without the redeeming factor of being a sound defensive D. The value of players who are injured all the time is subject to the law of diminishing returns. Move these guys while they still have value. We are rebuilding, get draft picks and/or high level prospects. In addition, not bringing back the Sedins creates cap room for free agents - if there is a time for Evander, it’s now. If there is a quality free agent D under 28 capable of being a 1 or 2 available, sign him - that would decrease the time of a rebuild tremendously. We should have tons of cap room with no Sedins, no Tanev, and no Gudbranson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oshawa will face Niagara (4th) in the first round. Owen Sound (Gadjovich and McKenzie) wrapped up 4th in the West and will face London (5th) and Evan Bouchard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vannuck59 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 If we don't draft in the top 4 I want Evan Bouchard. Period. Brassard looks good but could use some work on his skating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he is healthy next year, he will be sorely needed. Even if we could attract some D in July besides JC pretty slim pickings. I am all on board and expecting JB to have Kane inked at 1201 July 1st. With or without Tanev we have tons of cap room to play with. I hope if we trade him we get back A young NHL ready D and A 1st. Even if we have to add A bit. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
