Zhukini Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I hope they don’t assume he has to be a checker. Put him with Horvat and Leivo and give him a chance, we need good wingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 i doubt he gets any game time he is depth in case someone else cannot play a reward for his good showing in utica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Shirokov Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Perhaps they are going to sit Goldy to give him a look? Can't wait to see him. Recently came off a 3 point night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 He deserves to be called up, his play in Utica dictated that! I hope the other players on both the Comets and the Canucks take note The 6’4″ and 210 lbs forward has posted seventeen goals and twenty-five assists in forty-nine games this season. He has surpassed his goal, assist, and point totals from last season and has done so by being an effective player in all three zones. MacEwen has really shown all the things this year that the Canucks targetted him for as a free agent prospect. His development has been a really encouraging story, going from an undrafted player to earning this call-up. https://canucksarmy.com/2019/02/10/canucks-recall-f-zack-macewen-from-the-utica-comets/?

Pears Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Leivo - Pettersson - Boeser Goldy - Horvat - MacEwen Roussel - Sutter - Virtanen Motte - Beagle - Eriksson That would make me very happy. Excited to see MacEwen regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissCanucks Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I hope he will show more than Alexandre Grenier did back in 2015-2016 and 2017-2018. Both player have a bit the same profile, but Zack seems to have slightly better numbers in AHL level and is also younger. I really hope it will work for him in the NHL =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead80 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Pretty excited to see this kid. Haven't seen him play, but from what I've read and heard if he does get in, brings elements this team definitely could use going forward. Hope he shows well in whatever time he may get.

Baertschi placed on IR https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/canucks And this kid could actually play games. I don't see how he couldn't replace Schaller or Granlund.
