I remember him being granted "exceptional status" in the OHL, yet he was drafted in the 3rd round (IIRC there were conditioning and attitude concerns from NHL scouts). He's a big, mobile D with loads of talent though, but not very physical or in possession of a high hockey IQ, which leads him to suffer from inconsistency and indifference in his play, as well as being prone to poor decision making. Normally when a big, great skating young prospect surfaces I'd be hyped on taking a flyer on him, but not so much this guy; he just can't seem to put it all together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was physically a man amongst boys and so he was able to just dominate the game without developing the skills to carry over when he wasn’t the biggest strongest one on the ice.

DeNiro Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Love waiver time! It’s when we get to see all the ex-Canucks that Benning and Green thought were regular NHLers over the years get dumped. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Well considering it's October now I suppose it's alright for the ghost of Canuck hopefuls past to make an appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Leon Gawanke is the only person on waivers today that I think the Canucks *could* claim. He's a 23 year old, right shot defenseman. No NHL experience but he's the kind of player I'd take a chance on. Young enough to keep developing and has more upside than Keeper/Juulsen. The type of player the Canucks should take a chance on. Best case scenario, he ends up a fixture on the blueline for a few years. Worst case scenario, you just waive him if he's not a good fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not talking about them specifically. We’ll see more players that fit the bill in the coming week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at you Gillis, Linden, and Benning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
