Wonder if this is maximizing roster flexibility. If he clears, great, and maybe stays as 8th defenseman to start the year. But if better names show up on waivers these days, we can pick up without worrying about papering someone down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gurn Posted October 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Imo, Wolanin lost his gig because of money, not his play. Played better than Rathbone and equaled Burroughs. Edited October 8, 2022 by gurn 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Is Valimaki an upgrade? They had high hopes for him . 1.55 mil cap hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Kale Clague is interesting. Maybe we take a flyer on Valimaki though. Nows the time to experiment with some of these younger guys. Maybe we find a gem in another teams castoff. Might be worth it to keep waiting though. Seems like the talent will get better and better closer to the roster deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had high hopes for him . 1.55 mil cap hit Depends on what role they could use for him? We're stacked on LD as is (OEL, Hughes, Rathbone, now Stillman who should play the secondary defensive minutes, while Quinn and Bones take the offensive duties), so unless Hughes finds an RD role again and they want him to beat out Rathbone as a secondary puck mover, I don't think he really has a role here (Dermott's probably not out for long either).

ktcy2 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Another proof that playing good in camp sometimes don’t mean anything. Wolanin was good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Lowkey nervous about both Wolanen and Dries. Wolanen was good in camp, but I guess the team wants Stillman above him. Dries probably won't be taken since he struggles in the NHL a fair bit. Want to see him in Abby this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doxm Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Smh. Wolanin deserves to be playing with the big club - kept it simple and played very well. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolanin showed very well. But this is a business; the players you have under contract take precedence over those you can keep in the minors until needed. Only absolute studs like Quinn and Petey and Podz leap-frog borderline players hoping to make the last cut. The trade for Stillman sealed Wolanin's fate (and I do not believe he will be the last hopeful to be sent down). I was really impressed with his game though and hope he clears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therodigy Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 If Wolanin clears, the Canucks will have excellent left side depth this year, assuming Stillman is able to solidify a role in the bottom pair or as a 7D. The right side depth is certainly getting tested early with Myers out, but I'm not too uncomfortable with Schenn/Poolman/Burroughs for opening night. Juulsen is also a solid fill-in if the injury Gods continue to have a sense of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreanHockeyFan Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Makes me wonder if the Dickinson trade happened a day later, the Canucks could've traded Dickinson and lower draft pick to Chicago , not get Stillman and pick up Valimaki off waivers instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're similar in size, but not sure if Valimaki is known for toughness. Just a hypothetical thought of mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
