Rabbit Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 It seems that this is a good trade, gain in cap and we have too many forwarders. Risk for Stillman is low, could try him in the 3rd pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzuto&hatoum Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 The last left-side defenseman traded from Chicago with the initial R.S. was Ryan Stanton. He gave 2 solid years for the Canucks. If Stillman can do the same, it's a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Pretty stoked to see him play; he's the exact kind of player I've been asking for on the third pairing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Stillman - Burroughs will be a pretty gritty, tough 3rd pairing which we could certainly use. I'm not sure if Rathbone hasn't done enough to steal that spot, he might get deployed against weaker teams but to start the season I think we need some good defensive stability with Myers out so would rather have someone who's played a bit more NHL time. Once Dermott and Myers trickle back in we can use Rathbone but maybe to start the season, Stillman's a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF so, we might see rathbone playing with Schenn on a 2A line, with the 2B being Stillman-Poolman. Poolman is the real question mark in my opinion; can he actually play in a top 4 role?????

I think Hughes will mainly stick to the left to be honest based on training camp. As for Poolman, no he's terrible, a good 6-7th defenceman on most teams but is our 4th guy. OEL will really have to work hard to make that pairing work and I hope Bruce uses all pairings a bit more evenly, rather than OEL-Poolman as a shutdown pairing because top lines will eat him alive and they'll just focus on Poolman's side. As soon as Dermott's back, he gets that spot (if Myers isn't back first). We had this glaring hole 12 months ago and management haven't sorted it so whatever happens to our D is on them. They wanted to give Poolman another shot and I respect that, but at what cost... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 This guy sucks if you want a rough presence play Kyle Burroughs on his off/ left side. Stillan reminds me of Ryan Stanton another Chicago Blackhawks castoff that is nothing but a depth guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaninMex Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Why does BB play guys like this above Burroughs? Last year it was Hunt. This guy should be waived and Breezer brought up. Burroughs and Bear. Edited November 2, 2022 by FaninMex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Hopefully this is his last game, off to AHL/waivers. -6 in just 8 games played is impressive and he's lost us the game against Nashville by himself by losing his man. Myers and Stillman togethern- that L goes to Bruce, but let's see if he learns his lesson and benches him forever. I also wonder if management are forcing BB to play him so the trade doesn't look so bad. I'd take Brisebois, Rathbone and Burroughs in our lineup over Stillman any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 This guy can't play hockey to save his life. He wouldn't even cut in Burnaby 8 Rinks ASHL Division 8. He's that pathetically bad. Him and Myers. WTH was Boudreau thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocanuck Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Icing the puck on delayed offside was a head scratcher.. every player including linesman yells offside yet he ignores or is lost in his own thoughts and panics and ices the puck. I dont see with his positioning why he is still in games. Play our young kids and develop them instead of playing other teams castoffs. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So frustrating to watch them struggle. NSH has a very good forecheck but they could not make a decent play to get the puck out of our zone to save their lives and were constantly scrambling.
