I want neither on the team. Think Mac, Bailey, Gadj, Graovac (if resigned), Highmore (if here after ED) and Lind are the unestablished players that should be rotated in and out in the bottom 6. Think we can do better in FA this year than Boyd if we want a cheap 4th line replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks have a number of prospects playing in the AHL that have more potential upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these fringe players would be good call ups if in Abbotsford. Also, JB needs to get the pipeline filled by getting some of our European prospects on ELCs, like Karlsson, Costmar and the young Finns and Russians, and get them over to the farm where we can direct their progress.

I agree that they will need to fill a lot of holes on the farm team but two things that come into play are the AHL rules and limitations for veteran players and also the financial cost to have them on the team. Players like Vesey, Michaelis, Boyd and Hawyrluk are significant hits on an AHL payroll; esp. if Eriksson is buried on the farm team as well. It is far more likely the Abby club will sign known players like Arseneau and Stevens and then dip into the AHL free agent pool for a lot of the others. IMO, Hawyrluk and Graovac are likely and Bailey will be qualified as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
