Dynamic Innovator Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: This is the equivalent to a player interview that goes like this: "They have a good team over there, you have to give them a lot of credit. We just have to take it one shift at a time, get pucks in deep, pucks on net, work hard and trust the process." What is Keefe going to say? "Vesey was pretty average and we have a lot of guys on the roster that can achieve what he did which is basically nothing. He started on the 2nd line, worked his way on to the waiver wire and then right off the team." Vesey will not move the needle and unfortunately the Canucks have way too many dudes that don't add anything. Bringing in another "dude" will not change team results. At least he is cheap and is not signed long term This team needs top players to compliment the quality of Pettersson, Boeser, Horvat, Miller, Hughes and Demko. Schmidt and Hoglander are a great start. I really hope Podkolzin and Rathbone can add to that mix.

Googlie Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 19 minutes ago, mll said: They could have tried. Pick him up and waive him the next day to see if he makes it to the taxi squad. If he doesn’t make it things stay as is. Can a team do that? I thought that if a player was claimed off waivers it had to be at least 30 days with the claiming team before he could again be waived. Or am I conflating waiver rules with the taxi squad rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayinblack Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) 8 minutes ago, lmm said: this says to me that Jimmer and Greenie both think we have a chance to make the playoffs and Greenie wants a veteran group and he doesn't want rookies (Michaelis, MacEwan, Juolevi, Lind, Gadjovich, Bailey, Graovac...) impeding his play off chances I think this also says that they will grow their offensive players first, and when they reach their prime, they will start working on defensive players that should work, huh? Or Pearson is traded, in which case this is a great move Edited March 17, 2021 by Jayinblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t piss and moan about the salary though. Welcome to Vancouver Jimmy. What do you mean? People always p!ss and moan on CDC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina claimed Forsberg from Edmonton as insurance in case they lost Nedeljkovic who they had to waive to get to their taxi squad. Once Nedeljkovic cleared they waived Forsberg the next day who was then claimed by Winnipeg (because they had just lost Comrie).

PistolPete13 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 1 hour ago, oldnews said: so "classy" they waived Spezza - who went d.i.y. with a public appeal not to be claimed by anyone....("or I'll retirez!") Ironically, Babcock earned a lot of hatred in Toronto for scratching Spezza... Spezza then gets waived = and crickets. Keefe must be better at stroking the TO media than the fiery Babcock was.

I'd assign Eriksson to Utica, and keep Michaelis on the taxi squad....for two reasons - one is cap, the other is to encourage LE to retire. Don't think LE is going to Utica. As far as I'm aware, it would mean LE would get more real $$$ as it would not be subject to Escrow. Don't think Aquilini wants to lose more $$ than necessary.

canuck2288 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 We are not going to make the playoffs given how Montreal and Calgary have picked up the pace so the only way this pickup makes sense is if we can play him and hopefully he can show he is a trade deadline asset i cant see him fitting into the long term plan given our prospect pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the transition rules 1-way players earn the same salary in both leagues. There’s a 20% reduction in salary + 10% deferral when assigned to the AHL, so same 72% as in the NHL.

We got more out of Leivo than anyone thought we would, so maybe lightning strikes twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
