-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 One more preseason game to go... you would have to think the Canucks will use a lineup that will look identical to what they will use in the season opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Will be interesting to see the D set-up. Especially a few wks into the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he'll have a career after hockey similar to Jamie McLennan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't quantify heart, will, fight and IQ. So Dipietro has no worth for trade right now, but see how this year goes. See if he proves the doubters wrong.

Something's gotta give at the AHL level as Ryan Johnson has essentially said they're going to be playing Silovs, a lot. Then you have MDP and Delia there as well and it's all of a sudden a pretty crowded crease.... Edited October 6, 2022 by Fanuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to have to perform and take starts away from the other two. We'll see what he's made of for sure. I'm rooting for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still young and learning but he is definitely no Saros. Same height but Dipietro looks way smaller in net somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He leans to far forward when in his stance, when you’re as short as he is you have to play a more hybrid style, he goes down to early and tries to rely on his reflexes more than his positioning. There’s no way he can cover the top part of the net when in the butterfly, he will not have an nhl career if he doesn’t make significant changes to how he plays. It’s been 3 years he’s not going to change so cut him loose Edited October 6, 2022 by KelownaCanucksFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he gets some starts and looks like a valuable prospect again, we can probably find somewhere to move him. He has the core talent, he just needs to play. Covid really disrupted his development cycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
