darkpoet Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Saw that Garrison was put on waivers today and someone had written an article about us possibly reacquiring him. I totally disagree with that. The interesting thing is they also put Griffin Reinhart on waivers (AHL/conditioning stint) and he is waiver eligible. That makes things a bit more interesting. He's right in the wheelhouse as far as age for our team (23) is a big kid at 6'4" 215 lbs, and is from West Van. Benning seems to be stockpiling former 1st round picks that haven't quite panned out elsewhere.Yup, he went 4th overall in 2012. Some interesting info here regarding the eye test vs. fancy stats, etc.https://www.knightsonice.com/2017/9/26/16363284/in-defense-of-defensemen-griffin-reinhart Would you guys pull the trigger?

EBataleon Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 If we hadn't picked up Pouliot, sure. Is he better than what we currently have? At this point, when we have Stecher and Edler back, Pouliot/Biega are our 7/8. Does Rienhart bump either of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I didn't realize that Reinhart was on waivers. I like that he's from here, he's got size and only 23. But he doesn't have stats to brag about. Is he more of a defensive Dman? I say why not? Edler and Wiercioch are gone after this year and Hutton could be trade bait.

The bigger question is, is he better than what we have on the farm right now to replace Edler and Stech for the next month? Does he bump Biega? Weirdcrotch? Hutton? It's worth a shot IMO. It costs you nothing and you can plug him in place of Biega just to see what you've got, because you never know.... at worst when the team gets healthy you send him down. If you lose him, you lose him. win/win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FijianCanuck Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Stay away from Reinharts. Any of them regulars yet? Plus we are winning a cup with this roster =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Yeah, isn't his skating a problem? We finally have a back end with mobile, offensive guys fitting for the current era. No point going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I would love the story of the Canucks picking up Griffen and him breaking through and playing well for us, after his experiment in EDM failed. Kind of like Baertschi and Granlund (former Flames). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Canucks just did the same thing with Gaunce. He can be down there for up to 14 days. At that time they either have to bring him back or put him on waivers.
