GoldenAlien Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Regardless of how he turns out, always nice to see a guy's dream come true. Canucks will likely have a full practice before the road trip, I think we'll see Teves debut during the back-to-back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 is this "kid" going to get in the line up soon? I wouldn't mind seeing what he can do, put him in before Hughes is cleared to play later next week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck I don't care the number I just want him in a Canuck jersey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I hope the coach puts Teves in the lineup for the Ottawa game but have not heard or seen anything on him in a few days now. If anyone has an update on him please post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is once Hughes or Hutton get better we will see Brisebois sent down and Teves getting in for a game. You also never know though. He might have a slight injury as well that needs some rest.

No but they'll want to get Brisebois down there fighting for the playoffs. Sautner too once everyone up here is healthy.

GoldenAlien Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) From Princeton hockey head coach Ron Fogarty: https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-josh-teves/c-305804540 Quote "He goes into every shift working as hard as he can and doesn't take a shift off. We were always afraid he'd get injured because he competed so hard every shift. He just has an incredible drive to be the best every time he steps on the ice. There's no days and no shifts off for Josh," he explained. "Over these four years, he's gotten stronger, has better endurance and his defending is very good. His playmaking ability and his first pass is excellent. He puts it on the tape every time whether it's five feet or 30 feet away. He can now accelerate fast enough to catch up to a rush or even lead the rush. He plays a real hard-nosed style and his improved strength makes him better prepared now to win those one-on-one battles too. His attitude is also one of his best assets," Fogarty continued. "He wants to be the best defenseman out there and he works hard every day towards achieving that goal. I have no doubt he's going to do real well at the next level." Teves' junior story: https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/patrick-johnston-mechanical-whiz-teves-believes-he-has-tools-for-making-canucks-too Quote He went to an academics-focused high school in Calgary, and was playing triple-A Midget in Calgary when he was 18. He then moved on to junior B hockey in Fernie the following season. By the end of that season, he was playing junior A in the BCHL as Dale Hladun, his Fernie coach, pitched him to the Merritt Centennials’ coaching staff as a player to watch. His new BCHL coaches were so impressed by his raw talent, they dressed him for playoff games — even though he’d never really practised with the team. Quote “I had a pretty late growth spurt that definitely played into it. I think as a smaller D-man I got passed over growing up,” he said Friday after his first morning skate with the Canucks. (He’s now a solid six feet tall.) “Definitely not the most routine path. That helped build my work ethic and determination: it doesn’t matter if I’m cut from a team or looked over or undervalued or anything like that. I can prove my worth in any situation.” Quote Martin also chuckled when asked to describe what Teves looked like when he first arrived in Merritt. “He looked like a young deer,” he recalled. “His skating was a bit scrambly, his puck control was all over the place, but he had an ability to out-compete players and always be around the puck and make things happen even if it’s not always smooth. “He kept carving his way until the game really started to change at the NHL level in terms of what kind of player they wanted. “There’s more and more players who just need more time in good spots, in places where they can just hunker down and learn to play; they’re not so worried about the end game of winning a championship or making the next level, they just want to get better.” Edited March 21, 2019 by GoldenAlien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teves is a 24 year old defenseman that has yet to play a single professional hockey game. This year his ELC is at $925K in the NHL and for next year he has to be qualified at 5% above that or he becomes a UFA. Sautner is also a 24 year old defenseman who has proven that he can handle a 6/7 job in the NHL at minimum. He is signed through next season on a very cheap $675K NHL salary. He would be a great "free contract" for a team looking for a cheap 6/7 defenseman with upside for next season. Benning would be crazy to expose Sautner to waivers again this season.

If a team really was decimated or was interested in Sautner he could still get claimed Edited March 22, 2019 by CRAZY_4_NAZZY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UticaHockey Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 So Pouliot gets back into the lineup tonight while Teves continues to watch from the press box. Yet Benning was unable to talk him into an ATO with the Comets and a one year ELC starting in 2019-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning was not likely the only GM interested in signing him and sometimes you have to make a slightly better offer than other GM's to entice a player to sign. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bree2 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I don't buy having Pouliot in and not Teves. how the heck are you going to see what you have in Teves , we already know what Pouliot brings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duszak was valued higher and he agreed to an ATO with the Marlies and a two year ELC with the Leafs starting next year. Seems odd that Teves didn't get the same thing except a one year ELC for next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
