Master Mind Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 He'd be an upgrade on our 4th line. Claim someone back from Philly after they took MacEwen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the job is skate fast, put yourself out of position, drive by instead of hitting, and providing next to nothing offensively, Highmore is definitely your guy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Do it Benning you know you want Canucks need a 4th line who plays with some energy. This guy is a little water bug would go nice on a line with Motte. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK...are you positive Kubel is a real upgrade over Highmore, can do more than Comeau?? If so, do it JB!!

If so, do it JB!! Based on the brief research I have done on this guy he sounds like an upgrade. He is speedy and tenacious on the forecheck. He once injured TJ Oshie and Tom Wilson on the same shift. He headshoted Rasmus Dahlin in the past. He got fined for kneeing a guy just 2 weeks ago. He is a an abrasive little frenchy. Not afraid to mix it up could get a guy like Marshsrasult off his game if he can chirp him in French in Vegas and run their d. Do the Canucks have the cap space to claim him though? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's making $1M so we should be able to fit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's making $1M so we should be able to fit him. My concern would be he can't stay out of the box so he is really not a fit with a team like the Canucks with a terrible pk. Unless the object is to tank the pk and lose games. Benning would only claim him if he wanted to piss off Green more and wanted to end up getting him fired... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On second thought, why bother right?? JB took a pass on Comeau who's bigger and can probably score more goals than Chiasson, Bailey and Kubel combined.... So he's probably waiting to see if he's gonna be buyer or seller by X'mas time!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either he slips though unclaimed or a team like Montreal (Frenchie connection) or Seattle maybe would be my gut feel if anything. Definitely not holding my breath with this management team...

D-Money Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I really like Aube-Kubel. He was one of the few bright spots for the Flyers last year. Interesting though that it looks like Zach MacEwen took his spot. I'd be in favor of claiming him. This year he's been given 65% Dzone starts (highest of career), and has a 93.3 PDO, so it looks like he's been unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more sandpaper, and Bailey isn't worth losing sleep over to make a spot for this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 2 days, passing on 2 guys that give a chance at upgrading the bottom 6.... makes me wonder if a trade is in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
