GB5 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Seems like Dano gets waived every year. week Josh Brown is certainly a monster of a man and a RHD. with no NHL experience. Likely nothing to see here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCanuck Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 We could use some of this on our back end. Bring this lumbering giant in and waive pooliot I mean our defence cant get any worse, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Brown kind of screams like a guy the Canucks may pick up. With Utica decimated by injuries, I could see a world where the Canucks claim Brown and send Biega down. That said, I have no idea how mobile Josh Brown is nor do I know much about him -- so that probably means he passes through waivers but for a team that is looking for size, Brown could be a temporary option to help one of the worst defenses in the league. Also, Benning does have a history of using the waiver wire to plug holes in the lineup. He used waivers to claim Reid Boucher, Brandon McMillian, and Joseph Cramarossa in the years that he has been in charge. So anything is possible. Dano has always been overrated. He needs AHL time (much like Curtis Lazar). Don't see the upside anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If VANwanted a super tough big defender, could've gotten MacDermid from the Kings a month ago when he was on waivers. Much tougher, bigger and has some actual NHL experience.

Honestly, if it meant never having to see Archibald called up again to “bring this element”, I would do it just for that. I mean, I think we have seen the movie enough times to know that Archie will come up, play a good couple of physical games to show he belongs... and then revert back to being completely invisible in that department until he gets sent down again.d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, LA was last place a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 considering how many injuries, wouldn't be surprised if JB goes waiver dipping. Gaudette could stand to have some more mins in Utica and play in more key situations, he seems quite raw in terms of his skillset. Let him gain some confidence offensively.

Dazzle Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Having looked at Dano's numbers, particularly FO numbers, he is very clearly not an upgrade in the center position, particularly Granlund. Don't let the first round pick fool you. This guy's AHL calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with this completely pussified "new" NHL, there is officially zero hope for my wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very hard to obtain if he pans out the way the Canucks envisioned him to be. So far, he's been a treat to watch. Jett Wu will also be someone you'll love. Regarded as a "throwback" to the old style hockey. I wouldn't give up on your wishes just yet. It's a fact that the one dimensional tough guys are no longer capable of playing effectively in the NHL. Gudbranson, as good of a skater is he is, is having issues being too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hasn't Dano always been a bit of a one-trick pony, known for having a shot? If he'll be another Boucher it might not be the worst band-aid idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City-in-state-of-emergency Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Dano got trapped in the need now department in his draft year. CBJ needed to fill the bottom 6 with scrappy guys with grit. He worked well under Todds system but then crapped the bed under Joel. To be 23 and not have that drive like in 2014... gonna be hard for him to be a regular bottom 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
