DeNiro Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Reminds me of Jeff Tambellini. Good versatile player who played a role for us but we likely got his best year. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was OK on the boards but he isn't better than anyone on our top 6 and he's not a bottom 6 grinder. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense... But I wanna see Hoglander first before Lind!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve long noticed there were too many middle 6 types on the roster... with Leivo’s injury it seems like they just aren’t willing to commit. I would have been fine gambling on him at that price but more opportunity for Jake in the top 6 or Hoglander/Lind etc. Not like we don’t have options. This is a good point. Leivo may not have wanted to compete with those guys for a spot in the line up. I mean he's in his late 20's and likely only has 1 maybe 2 more chances to sign a big contract in the NHL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I am surprised he is NOT back with Vancouver...NOPE!! We already have too MANY F signed, then add 2 way deal we just gave out to someone else PLUS Hogz among other prospects will be at camp fighting to show well. Need to let the prospects have a CHANCE to make the team. Best of luck to Josh, he had a brutal injury so good to see him get a contract and not just receive a PTO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Calgary is bad....better than Edmonton. I'd take a job in Calgary for $800k that pretty much guaranteed I'd be on holidays from May to October.

I also wouldn't want to downgrade from playing on an actual NHL team to an AHL team with serious character issues. You couldn't pay me enough to live in that dump or have those gutless pieces of trash for teammates. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 It may be cheaper if Tree-Living asks his dad to buy the Canucks instead of a acquiring them piecemeal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F off LE . Holy crap. I woke up from a nap, after a suds lunch, wrote this, and still not quite sure what I meant to say, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton is a depressing hole, but Calgary’s alright. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamonic would be nice for the blueline too and I would imagine staying in Canada is still a high priority for him given his family situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
