He's too small, doesn't matter how much they develop him. Unfortunate for him, good guy and all that. I mean he has been bad but to say he is too small for the NHL is a little ridiculous. Saros, Shesterkin, DeSmith, Binnington, Quick, Grubauer, Raanta, Khudobin are all the same height +/- 1". I think if anything we have ruined his development, he should have never been on the taxi squad he should have been playing in Utica. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he should have been in Utica playing as many games and minutes for his development. Watching and practicing with the Canucks did not help him at all. Benning screwed up there. AGAIN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just because I’m 6’4. 6’ is small for a goalie. 24 minutes ago, -DLC- said: And re this: Athleticism CAN be "taught" (improved) to some degree. Flexibility work is part of that. This kid has natural ability and flexibility that some bodies just won’t ever be able to do. 24 minutes ago, -DLC- said: I, too, am concerned that he makes himself SO small in net...but I think that's a fairly easy fix (once you break his old habits). Can’t make a small guy bigger. He can try, but he will never cover the net like a Demko or Marky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully since JT is back and both apparently had no symptoms, Demko will be back as well. Valid points and how Boudreau, will communicate with him after the loss and demotion to Abby - will be a good, start to mitigate any doubt. Ultimately, it will come down, to Dipietro and if he still feels confident, that the Canucks, is where he will get his best shot to making the NHL. As for his size, Halak is a tad smaller than him and he has had a decent NHL career. Just like JM, who had a tendency to play small for his size earlier in his career, with the right partnership, with a coach - these technique, issues can be fixed. Spencer has played lights out in Abby, and should get the opportunity with the Canucks but Dipietro, is still young and regardless, of his performance this year - he should be getting the net to work through, any issues. But I get it cause the Abby Canucks (being in there inaugural season), was built to win [now], rather than focus on prospect developement. There are things, he can control but the opportunity to play - has to be both given & earned. Edited January 25, 2022 by ShawnAntoski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad, losing all of these players really sucks and it's got to be a challenge for the coaches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Alienhuggyflow said: I had such high hopes for Mikey but he's completely stagnated regressed even from his last season in Utica. Really hope he turns it around but I think Silov or Spencer will be the backup next season. I think he relies far to much on athleticism while struggling with the fundamentals like tracking the puck and positioning. That 3rd goal was a good example, it wasn't a hard shot and it wasn't a well placed shot, yet he wasn't able to either figure where his glove needed to be or wasn't quick enough. Either way I've seen a lot of goals like that scored on him, sure he makes some really athletic wow type saves but is beaten far two often on easy saves that should be instinct type saves. if after 3 years with Ian he's not progressing but regressing that's a big red flag. Mikey has barely played in 18 months. He'll be fine. Most goalies don't really come into their own until about 24 - 25, he's only 22 right now. People forget when he faced the Sharks, he was only here on emergency call up from the OHL. People also forget that His teammates deflected about 3 of the goals that went in, past him. The whole team had a bad night. Schneider, Demko and Markstrom, all sucked and struggled heavily in their first games in the NHL. It took all of them time to find a rhythm, and that was with playing almost nightly in the AHL. Mikey will be fine, just needs to get back into form and get some significant playing time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't he receive bonuses if he plays two more games? So far, I believe Halak has zero interest in waiving his NTC. That might change at the deadline if we regress and are out of the playoffs, but if we're not, assume he is here till his contract expires. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
