Schallwr honestly wasn’t bad for us tho. and u are right it’s not enough it’s just the start and we are one of the only teams that actually added a valuable piece using the crunch of the expansion so we should all be happy This 1000%. According to Dallas fans, we just need to keep pucks away from his face and we'll be all set 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give you this CJ, you’re holding on to your opinion in spite of a whole bunch of armchair GMs pontificating, including myself, and arguing against you. I applaud you for that. Dick may end up being great for the Nux. He may also not find his rhythm here and flounder. No one knows that yet but expectations are high amongst us all because of the lack of news and recent successes on ice. Probably a good idea on everyone’s part to temper expectations of him a lil bit. We’ve seen a lot of guys come and go for the 3/4 line roles. It’s a grand exception when we get a Motte out of all that trial and error. Anyway, don’t mean to be a downer at all. I like the deal myself. Even happier to at least be trying new blood that hopefully doesn’t end up disappointing like Boyd or Jimmy Feces did. Yeah, Feces. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I was saying before, I saw a lot of this guy on the local TV and have even watched him play live. There isn’t a-lot to talk about here. Is he a warrior? Absolutely, but how useful is a warrior to an army when he doesn’t know how to kill people. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he can't move any salary out and we have to wait til next year for the big splash, I'm really happy he went with someone young, with lots of upside, and got it done below market value. There's some merit to waiting til next year too for the big move - whomever we draft this year might be ready to step in on an ELC next year. Podz and Hogs will be a year older and ready to play bigger roles. Podz could bump Pearson off the 2nd line by then. Imagine having all that cap room to put into our Defense. We'd go from one of the worst to the absolute best D corps overnight lol. Precisely. This is the season to lay in the weeds, & sharpen them fangs! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fairly recent 3rd Round picks by the Canucks: Jurmo Madden DiPietro Lockwood Tryamkin If Dickinson has more upside than these players, then I guess it's worth it.

It's funny. The last 3rd rd pick to actually make an impact for the Canucks was Edler. Hopefully that changes soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, but how useful is a warrior to an army when he doesn’t know how to kill people. As per your analogy, he’s not meant to be or counted to act as the killer. He does a little damage, provides support to the platoon, ammunition resupply and medic. Defensive jack of all trades. You do need guys like that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, seeing as he was a 1st round pick, I guess he started off with more upside than those players. With 221 games in the NHL, he's still ahead. I guess we'll have to wait and see if those younger players actually make the NHL. Only 30% of 3rd round picks ever make it to the NHL. 70% never get past the AHL or Euro.

He's a proven NHL player that fits a need on the team - all for the price of a 3rd round pick. What are you talking about with regards to killing people? If you watched him, you'd know exactly what his role is. He kills penalties. Stupid post by you, Convincing John. Bottom of the barrel tier.

I feel I have a better grasp on the player than you do. Like I said before, he is ok I guess but definitely nothing to be pumped up about and too little for a 3rd. Jim is good at drafting so that 3rd could end up being useful player when our real window opens and the new GM is making things happen to put us over the top. We spent a 3rd on a very 1 dimensional player under contract for a season. Why are you so excited? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
