Master Mind Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Feels like he has more to give. At only 700k, he might be one of the few players to get claimed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Less interesting to me. There are "project" players who have been with a single organization that you can convince yourself just need a fresh start with a new coach and systems. Once a guy has had a few stops and doesn't work out, then you have to think the remaining variable is the player himself. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as we all love Brock if you give a guy a choice between playing with Boeser or McDavid I have to think 9.5/10 are going to pick Connor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Considering what it might be like, trying to put together a team that we can ice to finish the season, it couldn't hurt to pick him up and welcome him to the house of plague!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Haven't watched Drake in ARZ this season but he reminds me of Nils H a bit-undersized player that can score and has some tenacity to his game. I guess he's in that Gaudette/Virtanen territory where no one's knows if they'll take off or not. I wouldn't be against aquiring him if he can get it going. Maybe just needs to find some chemistry with good ol BB again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's thankfully not a fit on the top 6. I just don't see a place for another small winger project who doesn't bring the size+skill element out bottom 6 really lacks right now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry AG, I meant to quote Roger. Edited April 8, 2021 by 4petesake Sp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't everyone complain about the Canucks not having enough value contracts? If Drake can get it going he can be a 15-20 goal scorer which is what the Canucks wanted in Gaudette or Virtanen. If he can't get it going, it's a manageable contract to waive. He's not a 4th liner. He's a third liner that can MAYBE fill in the top 6 or play PP mins. Again, all dependent if he can find chemistry and get it going. Not even a Canuck yet so all smooth point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if he had actually impressed elsewhere, but I think we'd be hoping he's that hotshot kid coming out of college, which he's never been. Dunno, hard pass for me but otoh its not like is a huge commitment. Just don't see the fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Specter Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I can see us taking a flyer on Drake Caggiula. There is the North Dakota - BB connection, and perhaps this is a good time to see how well he gels with the team on a tweener 3rd line (maybe 2nd line) assignment. His unearthed value could help with the decision on who to expose at the Expansion Draft. Not to mention, a healthy body to get into our line-up if the league wants us to continue the season.
