DP can play right side if need be as well. Give the farmhands a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I feel for the guy. He has definitely gotten a raw deal. The Canucks and bringing him up just fine. Toronto comes in and gives him a press box. The whole Toronto thing killed this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Frik. I can agree with a previous post that the Canucks were handing Corr properly way back when we tried to get him to Utica. TO stumped his growth and lowered his perceived value as well. Lamarillo is a hack. If JB and TL did the things Lamarillo has done TSN would roasting them big time!

He's still part of their organisation and Bakersfield might not be any better. They also have two goalies there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion for Corrado has nothing to do with his being a former Canucks pick. It could've been another similar dman and I would make the same suggestion. As for if it's worth it, well it's a zero risk move. He's in the last year of a 650k contract, there is no pressure to bring him back next season if it doesn't pan out or if he doesn't want to be here anymore. He's only 24 and plays a defensive game and can hold his own physically. I have no expectations for him other than being an extra body and if he performed alright then that's just an added bonus. It's all moot now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with this, we are also trying to not deplete Utica's lineup. They need to succeed as well to help the development of our players. If we are deciding to sell later on, it gives the flexibility of not needing to take a player back in a trade to maximize the return without the need of getting a warm body back as well.

It's all moot now though. I see what you're saying. Just a random thought: is there really such a thing as zero risk? I mean, if you think about it, every move is going to have some consequence, whether it's monetary or using up a contract slot or whatever. Because one player's in a lineup, that means another player is not. Now, obviously, one could go mentally insane in trying to minimize such risk, but it's just a thought I had.

I guess the fortunes of having Corrado here instead of calling up Holm or whoever that was meant to be called and thus never knowing what we could've had, then sure. The monetary part is minimized by basically paying only half of a 650k contract and the contract spot risk is minimized because his current contract ends after this season is done. Perhaps I should word it as a very low risk move rather than zero risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
