Not dumb just done already. It is not foam but a combination of flexible plastic and air spaces that allows the system to move. elbow and shoulder pads not made out of hard plastic is where I'd start. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gameburn Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 4 hours ago, cyoung said: That's the worst lineup iv ever seen lol. If gadj is in our top 6 in the future, and palmu on the roster...we will be a lottery team no doubt. Yes, no imagination or realism either. In five years, there will be 4 more draft picks at least who could be in the mix. Guys like Gadjovich and MacEwen are not likely to be in the starting lineup; Madden? Who knows. Discounts the possibility of more signings/trades, draft picks or re-signings of a guy like Ferland. Not a good projection on their part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Seems to me that if a prospect doesn't make the team within 3 years of being drafted (D could be the exception), then that player will most likely never be a good NHL player, if they make the NHL at all. Then there are those that were drafted low, and playing in Europe, and players who could become bottom 6 players (dime a dozen). I have high doubts any of these guys make the NHL: Zhukenov Jasek Lockwood Gadjovich DiPietro Palmu Manukyan Thiessen Plasek Malone MacDonough Costmar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) It looks like the lines are shaping up to be Ferland Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Miller Eriksson Sutter Leivo Schaller Beagle Motte A few days ago when they were practicing the PP, Drance said that Baertschi was just placeholding and not foreseen on it when it's one of his strength. Batchelor answering a question on twitter says that Green has all but admitted the bottom-6. Benning has talked of Pearson-Horvat as a unit all summer and that one of Ferland/Miller would be with Pettersson and the other with Horvat.

Most of them will probably never make it past the AHL. Some will never get that far. Let's hope one or two of them surprise us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) More from the Hockey News...now they claim we have 4 waiver exempt players who are locks to make the team... I assume they mean Hughes and Demko and maybe Gaudette could be considered a lock, without looking at the big picture, but who is the 4th? ....must be Gadj.,....(goofy happy face emoji).... Here is an excerpt; VANCOUVER CANUCKS The salary cap isn’t the issue in Vancouver. No, it’s the size of the roster. At present, the Canucks have 22 players who would need to clear waivers if they were demoted, but the issue is they have four who are waiver exempt but are absolute locks to take up spots in the lineup. That Antoine Roussel has potential to start the season on long-term injured reserve clears up one spot and gets the Canucks down to 25 players, but there’s still two more who will need to be trimmed in order to get down to a 23-man squad.

I think Jasek has an opportunity to play NHL games this season. Lockwood will also play NHL games this season too. DiPetrio has played an NHL game and goalies take more time... he has a good chance of becoming an NHLer in the next 2-4 years. Probably becomes Demko's backup in a few years. Too early to tell with Malone, MacDonaugh, Costmar, Plasek, and Manukyan. (Especially since the first 4 were just drafted this past June). I have my doubts with Gadjovich I don't believe Palmu and Zhukenov will ever play in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible they're wrong, but if the article sourced Capfriendly then that's where the 4th player is coming from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
