[Signing] Canucks sign Tucker Poolman

[Beary Sweet]

Solid signing. Always liked his game when he was with the Jets. Played a solid defensively sound game and very effective in his own zone. Can chip in offensively as well. He has the potential to be a Tanev like player and still rather young

would you put him on a pairing with Hughes?

No, I think Hughes and Hamonic, Poolman with Rathbone.

That's a long term for a guy who doesn't have great stats and will be expected to play a key role. I'm sure Benning feels there is untapped potential there, but for 1 extra million I would have FAR preferred Savard.

really?

1st pairing RHD : Harmonic

2nd pairing RHD  Myers

3rd pairing RHD  Poolman or Rathbone.

 

depends on how good Rathbone is. If Rathbone is ready to go he will play on the third pairing and Poolman being the 7 D-Man

[Seguin]

My only issue with this is, could he not have been had for cheaper?

 

Signings like this make it seem like Jim called his agent, offered him 4x2.5 and Tucker and his agent is laughing under their mask

[Junkyard Dog]

Need to see how he plays next year for concrete and conclusive judgements.
 

I have concerns but we’ll see if he can ease them.

Poolman is a solid, 200ft dman.  He played well in every jets game I watched.  If he doesn't fit, that's an easily tradeable contract.

 

Absolutely no reason to cry about it, but I guess the usual suspects have a quota they have to fill

Agree 100% with this. The whiners gonna whine.

Probably more accurate. Checked some other sites. Seems inconsistent though 

[Nucker 67]

(RD) Brady Keeper coming to VAN?

[awalk]

seems... expensive?

All the same, I have to see how it plays out.

We needed a big body Defensive D that plays a rough game and can help Hughes and Rathbone. Good deal.

 

Relax SN650, its a 4x2.5M not a 6x6

 

 

 

he had 2pim in 39 gp, is that a player who plays a rough tough game? He must be damn good at avoid penalties if that is the case

[Nicklas Bo Hunter]

We will love Poolman. I wanted him 4 years ago. 

[70seven]

Liked him in college…. Tanev light?

A tad high. $2M x 4yr would have been good.  But we don't know of the competing offers.

Yep, if it fits an HF narrative though they'll never let you forget it either, f-ing twitter morons.

[Silky mitts]

man our right side D is so bad. Myers, Hamonic, poolman, schenn. Yikes

[Elias Pettersson]

He played with Logan Stanley in the playoffs. They were a hard pair to play against. 
 

With Dillon and Schmidt the Jets moved away from him.

Oleksiak's deal raised the tide a bit I think.
