So the Evolving Hockey guys had TP's projected contract at 2.4 mil aav? I'd like to see that but its subscriber only. It really shows how those weenies at the Athletic are cherry picking their stats. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats in team sports like NHL with fast paced changes are not trustworthy as they can easily be manipulated or appear wrong. All these people that rely on stats have no idea about the sport.

In every level of hockey he has produce points. His last year in the NHL was a head scratcher as to why only one point, but maybe he just had to make up for too many mistake by his D partner. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dazzle Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 It's funny how some fans who rattled this signing have merely repeated their opinions (not facts) about the player, but they do this for almost every 'overpaid' player. Tucker Poolman doesn't deserve the treatment he received in the other thread. Hopefully the real one will just ignore the noise. We have such an embarrassing fanbase sometimes. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post, so man negative people..Good thing is the players don't read or listen to social media...I like Canucks signings... 1.OEL #2 D -- 21-23 mins --35 PTS 2. Garland top 6 -- 25-28 G -- 65 PTS 3.Dickinson #3 C/ W -- Solid shut down guy 27 -33 points 4. Hamonic - 19 -21 Mins -- Defensive game will be good 5. Poolman - 18 --21 mins -- will play good defensive game 6. Schenn -14--16 mins Good leader depth guy 7. Halak --#2 Very good Rathbone - Will take big step # 4 D man before Xmas Podkolzin-- 20 YRS - 6'2 ,210 lbs -- 18-21 G -- 36-40 PTS -- Will play great VERY EXCITING SEASON..... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the Tucker Poolman signing. He's listed at 6'4" 217 lbs. on the UND and Elite Prospects websites (rather than the 6'2" 199 lbs. that he's listed at on the NHL.com site), so I think we're going to be seeing a much bigger player than originally thought. His father is the Athletic Trainer and Strength and Conditioning Coach of the UND hockey program, so it could be that Poolman has leaned out and has developed more of a "hockey body" since becoming a pro (as opposed to "filling out"). Beyond the size that Poolman brings to the team, he played a shut-down role at UND and was the stay-at-home guy for Josh Morrissey, and did a good job in that role. As some others have posted here, Poolman looks to have some significant offensive skills in his tool box. So I'm going to say it, if it hasn't been said already -- he's going to be what Chris Tanev was, except bigger and more durable. That's my prediction. At $2.5M cap hit, Canucks fans are going to fall in love with Tucker Poolman. Wouldn't mind seeing Tucker Poolman grab no. 8.

NHL97OneTimer Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Encouraging read and a very encouraging off-season. Just waiting with bated breath for Elias and Quinn to sign. I like the additions, but I really like the subtractions.....some for inefficient cap spending and others to seemingly change the culture of the team (e.g. removing Jake). It would be nice to have a tough guy option (toughness by committee is needed too, but having someone who can really police the scene is a bonus) and another top 9 player but these are smaller requests versus what the team needed a month ago. I didn't know Poolman but wondered why there was so much discussion on the boards about him other than the media didn't like the contract. His contract seems pretty movable if he doesn't work out but fingers crossed that he and the rest of the team gel nicely.
