Hairy Kneel Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Liked how he went to the net strong last game, caused a tussle and Jake skated in and grabbed a head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Leivo trade has been so good for the team. What a steal by JB. 4g 1a in 9 games. Canucks are 7-2-2 since the trade.. Injured players came back but leivo has added so much to this team. Big body north south player goes to front of net and works the boards. Exactly what this team needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would be a good 4th liner at the very and we are paying him as such (almost 2 million). Bruins fans were raving about him and he scored 12 goals in his second pro season. To be fair, Leivo had 14 goals in 84 games and Schaller had 12 in 82 the year before so in terms of production they were quite similar. A lot of the sports talk guys also said he was the best signing out of the 3 - mostly because of risk, but I think everyone had higher expectations. I don't see Leivo carrying this pace but if he could be a Physical 15 (15 goals with grit) that would be a great addition. This is around what I was hoping Schaller could become for us which is realistic given where he was at last year. I'd much rather see Gaunce in his spot. So short answer - Leivo has more offensive upside but I was hoping Schaller would be a fan favorite who could chip in 10-15 goals while playing physical in the bottom 6.

I too thought Schaller was a good bet. He was great for Boston last year. I remember someone on Team 1040 mention they were talking with Louie Debrusk recently (broadcaster). He works some Bruins games, and watches many of the other ones because his son Jake plays for them. The guy brought up how Schaller was doing this year, and Debrusk was shocked.

It's like he changed his game because he got that new contract. Not saying that's what he did, but his effectiveness from before was nowhere near what it is now.

Well the thing is, as you've kind of mentioned, it's a bet. Any signing is a risk, especially when a new team is in play. I don't think it's a bad signing as on paper it made sense and it's easy to forget that hindsight doesn't really help in determining is a signing was good or bad. He could also turn it around. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a player's had a slow start on a new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy enough to look at Boston and think if JB sign's someone from there, he'll flop; however, it's not really associated with a particular team in my opinion. He's just had bad luck with players from Boston so far.... and I stress "so far". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Josh Leivo was a fantastic grab for us. His, Beagle’s and Rousell’s tenacity is wearing off on the young men of the Canucks. Zip on every line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
