If he can play, he'll play. If not, no big deal. Good point.....but it does still take a roster position at the start of the season when the players sign. It's a gamble that could go either way.

70seven Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Easy pickup. Makes sense to continue marketing towards the Punjab community, which is massive in the lower mainland. Also fits a role we need imo. He can battle MacEwen et all for that spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think he was in there that much? .. other thing to note is refs have a way of watching first year big boys,. It’s like the way cops tailgate kids with “L” & “N” plates. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Concussion issues have me weary, especially after seeing who we have on LTIR. I wouldn't sign him more than 1 year under 1M just as a show me deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 no reason to grab him as we have a pretty full roster and me I would rather give one of our own a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 This guy could be a great fit but he would need to sign a 1 year home town discount show me deal. 1 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can move around anywhere in the bottom 6. I think he’ll start on the 4th though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a player he doesn’t bring much to the table other than a few bumps and hits. If we are signing him to just be an a Ambassador to the community, then it’s a waste and we are in trouble. Feel the roster spot could be given to a youngling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Khaira is not that good. Nice guy by the way. But not good enough to join a Canucks team on the rise as we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) I don't think he's a good enough PK'er, whoever we sign has to be a PK1 face-off guy. We need a beagle or sutter type, without the injuries and overpayment. Edited July 26, 2021 by FlyLow_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
