Popular Post DeNiro Posted October 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) 24 minutes ago, CallAfterLife said: Canucks' belief in Jayce Hawryluk may be what his winding career needs That was Benning’s first draft in charge of the Canucks and, after an impressive showing by Hawryluk at the pre-draft combine, Vancouver rated him highly. But the Panthers selected him four spots before the Canucks’ second-round pick, and Benning chose goalie Thatcher Demko. Thank you Florida for Demko and Hawryluk. A small payback for the Gudbranson deal and the Luongo penalty hopefully. Edited October 20, 2020 by DeNiro 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canuck #12 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Interesting to see Hawryluk pick Leivo's pocket to set up the goal in highlight #2. Benning basically chose to sign Hawryluk over Leivo, so it will also be interesting to compare their upcoming seasons. I really wanted him to resign Leivo, but Hawryluk does look to have greater upside. Being 3 years younger is nice and having the ability to play centre makes him more versatile than Leivo as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited about this guy. Looks to be feisty and showed some strong offense during his short 11-game stint in Ottawa. If it continues, this is a huge steal, but even if it doesn't it's a low-risk deal. Great signing. No, it was another steal, bigtime, can rip a wrist shot almost like Petey and Flow, but add to that terrific passing skills and a pretty good set of wheels too, he's not just 3-4th line capable but given his trojection and finishes his development with top tier linemates for a change, he could make 2nd line on most teams and sub out of 1st line of necessary, he has the calmness,wheels, and skill, just needs the finish the fine details and some experience that he didn't get in Ottawa or Florida, which is just what the dr ordered. I'd say people don't know it yet but JV better be nervous because of he screws up his shot at 2nd line again, Hoglander will take it and if Hogs can't "yet" and needs a yr in Utica to simmer to the NA style of game. In that case it'll be Hawrlucks spot to lose unless Big Mac steps it up first.. which by the way isn't a impossibility simply because I believe Mac is still in the late stages but still has yet to hit his ceiling. Honestly as odd as this is going to sound, I hope Mac hits his stride later than sooner and Seattle don't go after him, hate to lose him but at any rate, Hawrluck and Mac's development are roughly in the same place with Hawrkuck slightly ahead in his curve but it will be fun to watch how it all plays out and we can fill spots on the top 6 and they not look out of place, I don't even remember us as a franchise this deep in depth which amazes me.. honestly I never thought I'd see it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Really hoping he flourishes into Motte 2.0, he's got the toolkit for it and is a very similar player. I think it all depends on how much energy he brings into training camp, but a winger spot on the 4th line is his to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things considered I think Benning had a really good offseason. I think we're missing one top 6 forward. Our D has improved, Goaltending is debatable (no way were giving 6 mill over 6 for Marky though), depth has stayed pretty much the same for forwards. In : Schmidt Holtby Hamonic Hawryluk Prospects expected to get spots: Juolevi & Hoglander. Out : Marky Tanev Toffoli Stecher Leivo Fantenberg Going to be an interesting season.

We have a much better defence adding Schmidt and Hamonic.....Top end defence...Markstrom will be wishing he was in Vancouver.... I think Hamonic is a little better then Tanev Schmidt ...Top D man lead a great Vegas team in ice time...Great addition Two top end D men Hughes and Schmidt...

I would say Hamonic is better than Tanev in certain areas of the game. He is definitely a lot more physical & makes us harder to play against. What the main key is were getting a comparable player for s fraction of the price & most likely a 1 year pact. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo Hamonic is replacing Stecher and Schmidt replacing Tanev. Both massive upgrades while the cost is about the same combined. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Any indications as to when Hawryluk will be healthy? It would be nice to see him in game action although that could spell the end of playing time for Gaudette. Not sure who would sit considering MacEwen has been a strong possession player whenever in the line-up, but I assume coaching would not scratch a guy like Roussel top play Hawryluk.

Canucks need more of that drive in their line up. Imagine having 2 Motte’s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette has looked blah and lazy. I saw one play where he dove for the puck in front of the net and ended in a pile but not much else. Really looking forward to seeing Jayce when he is healthy and up to speed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Virtanen is out of the lineup, the natural switch would be Gaudette for Hawryluk, which should give a nice boost to the bottom 6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 He looked good in training camp until well the incident with Motte. This team could use another spark plug player who brings a lot of energy. Gaudette, Roussel, and Virtanen will be fighting for time with him.
