How much hockey sense can he have, right? This, he had a chance once. At this point he's not someone I'd take a flyer on, I'd rather see someone like Lind, Gadjovich, Jasek, or Lockwood get an opportunity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, hard pass for me but otoh its not like is a huge commitment. Just don't see the fit. The fit is the hope he can provide depth scoring which is what this team desperately needs to succeed. He's not a bad player if you watch him. Just needs tofind the right "fit" Edited April 8, 2021 by Angry Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather give one of our kids like Lind a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather give one of our kids like Lind a look. It could very well be the guy. I'm not saying the Canucks should just run out and grab him. But if you can touch base and find out where he's at he could slot in if present canucks get traded. It's a dice roll regardless but maybe worthwhile one because he is a decent player and perhaps a better one with certain players and is on a bargain contract. I can definitely tell u right now that Drake is more NHL ready than Lind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely tell u right now that Drake is more NHL ready than Lind NHL ready at going on age 27, he should be. Kole Lind will be 23 in October, his upside at the NHL remains to be seen. What you see is likely what you get with Caggiula, and he hasn't exactly blown teams away in his six years at the NHL level. If we claimed him I'd undoubtedly support him, but I'd rather see the guys we've had stewing at the AHL level and see if they can do better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we claimed him I'd undoubtedly support him, but I'd rather see the guys we've had stewing at the AHL level and see if they can do better. What I meant by NHL ready is that pretty much all of the Canucks prospects in the AHL right now need another full season of development time. I like a lot of their progression so far but a full season against hopefully proper AHL comp. will serve them well. If they show really well and get some call ups I think that will be good for their development path but I could be wrong. I've seen Drake enough that I like his game, and wonder whether chemistry and perhaps being humbled a bit might make him a worthwhile gamble. Of course if he has personality issues/whatever I'd just as well ignore him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if he has personality issues/whatever I'd just as well ignore him. That's fair, I agree that they'd likely be well served getting significant AHL ice. The problem is that Lind is a pending rfa, and he'll likely require waivers going forward. Jasek may as well, though he's less likely to be on someone else's radar. If Lind does require waivers, and I could be wrong on that, I could see a team taking a flyer on him as developed prospect who's likely on the cusp of making it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westcoastcanucks777 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 That’s kinda cool for Buff they got an ok player but not an improvement overall ... maybe someone told them it was a great draft year? Who told them...was it you Burkie?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Glad to see him get claimed, and thought he might given his low salary. A shame it's in Buffalo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
