FaninMex Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 2 hours ago, Boudrias said: Perhaps I am too fixated on 2-3 years out. I am not overly worried about playoffs next year and think player development supersedes that concern. Bottom 2 lines with one vet per line with perhaps another on the taxi squad is worth trying. Highmore is not in my vet category. Mott, Rous, Sutter and Beagle. I would go with Mott and Rous. Oh I understand you. I am one of those that think last year was a blip and we will be much better this year. However, look how so many reacted this year with the banners and and and... This fanbase would go bonkers.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Who is going to supply the team with Maple Syrup now? Love all the reactions, probably thinking...uh thanks Roose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Of all the departures this summer, this one is the one im more sad about from a sentimental standpoint. wish Rousse all the best in ARZ! Who knows, wouldn't mind him back at a far more reasonable price in the future. We will miss his pesky side in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 No thanks to a return. While we may have fond memories of Game 3 against Minnesota and Game 6 against St. Louis, we have a lot of other memories of him in the penalty box or on the IR. He made more than enough money from us in the three years he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked, nay, loved year 1 Roussel, but he really fell off in a huge way after that and took a lot more bad penalties than he drew. Maybe if he gets some game back, for league minimum or something he might be a decent 13th forward or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Nice Province article interviewing Roussel: https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/antoine-roussel-heads-to-arizona-with-his-head-held-high Save for his first year, he wasn't effective here. But I always liked him as a person, and always gave his all for the team. Wishing him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd bring leadership, experience, some scoring likely, and a back-up warm body if we ever get that far into the organization for call-ups.

Canucks Curse Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 he was spectacular for his role until his knee injury then he lost a stepped, pulled it together in the bubble which was the last hoorah for super, beagle and rooster, all great leaders and their leadership was missed but they got too old too soon, part of the reason the team is where it is now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His leadership could be great. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Always liked Rouss, he was absolute money that first season. He gets dumped on too often but the folks dumping on him tend to underestimate the impact a knee injury can have on a hockey career. He was never the same after that but that wasn't his fault. Had the injury never occurred I reckon it's unlikely we'd have traded him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Bring him in on an PTO and see what he can do. Abbotsford sorta lacks that bite in the forward group beyond Arseneau and Wouters. Always had a soft spot for Roussel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually played above his pay grade his first season as a Canuck (easily full value for the money that year). His body just broke down (accumulated injuries).
