-AJ- Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Unsure if he'll be more of an NHL or AHL defenseman, but recent history suggests he's more of an NHL guy than AHL, so I'll put him here. Some things I've found: - Not overly big or small, but can be physical and does sometimes fight - Despite his physical nature, he doesn't take that many minor penalties - Played 3rd pairing minutes for Chicago last year - If he were to play 82 games, it would be reasonable to expect 10-20 points from him - All 12 of his points last year were on even strength - Highest hits/60 of all Blackhawks defensemen last year - Average shot block frequency - High ratio of major to minor penalties (4 major, 8 minor). Probably from high number of fights relative to minor penalties. - Was not a regular on the PK, but did get tried out at times for the Blackhawks - Virtually no PP time at all - Usage split pretty evenly between offense and defensive zones - Pretty bad possession numbers (41.3% CORSI) 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4petesake Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 A couple of posts from the Hawks Reddit, where fans are happy to take a cap dump for the 2 rounder on a rebuild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpn1 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Did we need another left D or does he play the right side? Edited October 8, 2022 by dpn1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 3rd pairing on a bad CHI team, so what is he going to be in VAN? Depth Dman, which could help when the injuries hit, and they have already. I do like the Canucks are filling the roster with a little more grit and toughness.

flat land fish Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Could have been a situation that Chicago wanted us to take money back to make the deal. Will be interesting to see how much ice time this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwipeout Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Zero to low-low expectations on this guy so basically a wild card. will see what type of player he is...current skillset and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 He seems to do a bit of everything. Odd point here and there. Odd fight here and there. Hits a lot. The Canucks need some sandpaper, so I'm fine with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canuck #12 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 He and Burroughs would make such a good pairing, they both even had the same numbers of hits last season: 122! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I think he will fit in fine and should get a chance so wee see what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I like the addition of Stillman, wears #61 just like his dad. His dad also won a cup and was a PPG playoff contributor to Jim Rutherford's Stanley Cup winning Carolina team as well. Hope he does well with the Canucks and can lay out some opposing players and back it up. Might get some penalty killing time too maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
