Isn’t that something the team needs and doesn’t have enough of? I say it’s worth a claim. He’s making league minimum like you’ve mentioned and said, so it’s not a big deal if he doesn’t work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I genuinely see us claiming him... if he's a good PKer??? He's on a 1-year $750k... basically our new Sutter.. why not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sad to say, Lammikko is slightly better. Nash is 32 and being waived by Tampa. That's not really a great sign. Considering he's being paid league min which should be gold for a contending team. That would lead me to believe he's not good enough anymore. I also pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't fit with JR's goal of getting younger, he can't put the puck in the ocean with a dump truck, he's played for six teams in six years, and claiming him would mean someone on the current roster would have to be waived. How anyone can say that he'd be an upgrade isn't paying attention. Besides, real improvement isn't going to come with tinkering with the 10th, 11th and 12th skaters in your lineup. Fourth liners are a commodity in the NHL and are widely available for not much money. Ask yourself this: If the Canucks were looking for that one player to put them over the top and have success in the playoffs, do you think Riley Nash is that guy? If not, hard pass, because he doesn't add anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just want a defensively sound RH C/wing.... Chiasson offers nothing when he can't score or assist!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaisson is 31 so pretty moot point if he'd be the one getting waived for the taxi squad Edited January 5, 2022 by Jayinblack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Claim him to give Bo and Miller a buffer on the PK. Who knows he fills a gap we sorely need for a Right handed centermen, plays well enough, maybe you can pawn him off for something of value later. Anemic offensively, but his underlying defensive stats show he doesn't give up much if at all defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Also right handed. For a cheap price he fills a role we need and most importantly is a good penalty killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Ya I'm all for this guy! Dickinson Nash Motte would actually be a very good shut down trio. I feel like we have better PP options than Chiasson and if we don't then that needs to be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, any of our top line guys would likely be 2nd line players or even 3rd line players on Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
