Posted by Roger Neilsons Towel,

In thread warning from the mods. There have been lots of reports generated from this thread for name calling. Both sides, for and against, are guilty of this. Let’s dial down the insults and discuss the team in a civil manner. We should all be able to disagree without having to resort to name calling. Let’s try to do this ourselves without having to get warning points involved. Thanks everybody. Cheers

Man.  And that name.  What do you have to do, to go from a Pool Boy to become a Pool Man anyways?  I guessing you have to do this ... Pool Fail GIF

the only thing with these stats is the actual GA. is it the player or the goalie or maybe just luck? a solid way of testing a player is comparing the players top minute pairing with the other. this players for poolman is morrisey and scheifle, poolman does not seem to bring either player down in comaprison to another player.

if anything Poolman seems pretty low event, not a lot of GA and doesn't seem to need a particular partner to make him better.

How so?  I don’t see anyone ragging on the player… folks are wishing him all the best.

 

The only comment have been how the contract could have too much money or term for what the guy’s resume is.  That isn’t on the player, it is just Benning paying for potential which may or may not bite him in the butt.

 

If Poolman is the player he was in his 8 game playoff stretch then it is likely a win… if he is a 3rd pairing guy who is a mediocre penalty killer with little offence… or if he is sitting in the press box half the time because he was beat out by Schenn who brings a different toolbox… then it won’t be a win.

That would be the worse case scenario where Poolman is the odd man out and is beaten out by Schenn. Would be hard to trade him away at that point even if it’s more down the road. 2.5M isn’t that bad. There are worse contracts out there of course. But yeah. I get why people are kind of questioning the term. Even 2-3 years would have been better than a 4 year term. But apparently he had compelling offers from other teams.

At the time of the creation of this thread, I didn't expect it to be this long. :blink:

Only 424 pages to go to tie the length of Clutch's performance (which wasn't clutch) with his "Burrow's, do we really need him?".  To think he only had 28 posts and he created that beauty of a quote lol.

Yes, I watched a few of his playoff games and he was indeed low event. I would even say boring hockey? He quietly goes about his business and gets the puck out, he even has a nice aerial pass to clear the zone. He's not going to get glamor points for what he does back there.

Should start quoting all those who freaked out about this signing when we are 30-40 games in and Poolman is quietly putting together a quality season for extremely reasonable 2.5 Million Cap hit.

 

He will literally be playing more or at least tougher minutes than Tyler Myers for 3.5 Million less / year.

 

If anyone wants to whip on someone go whine about Myers contract.

My guess is Poolman will play his way into the hearts of all Canuck fans and the management. He’ll play out his career in Vancouver and retire in his early 40’s after taking over the C from Bo. RoH next to Öhlund and Burrows.

102 pages on this thread and he hasn't even played a game yet :o.  It's almost like people don't know what to do without LE on the team anymore.  Or perhaps it's like coming home knowing your wife has been up to no good and so you blame the poolman.  I can only imagine how things will turn out if he plays like big willie Mitchell with that extra long stick.

 

 

A poolman with a long stick. No wonder some posters are feeling a bit insecure and trying to run him out of town already.

They do.

 

You know what's funny though. His contract is actually decent. He logs an important amount of minutes. He actually has a use here.

He has a use here sure but he gets sheltered minutes and for 6 million he should be one of our best dmen and he’s not. He’s going to be a bottom pairing guy most of the time. Take away the salary he has a use here right now sure but at his salary / term I haven’t been happy with it since we signed him. He raises the internal salaries of dmen on our team too if he gets 6 what Should Hughes  get you know not just relative to league. Hope Myers has a big year in a sheltered role where he won’t get exposed or hard minutes and he flourishes though

People need to stop this. 'Bottom pairing' defensemen don't have a career ATOI of 22 minutes.  Or average 32 points/82 games.

It’s because they see the line combos and it shows Myers on the third pairing. They don’t consider everything else. It’s poor hockey knowledge. It’s a good indicator of who actually knows hockey or doesn’t
