Just need some conditioning and Peteys wrist to continue working for them to thrive under Bruce’s system. Hate to break it to you but Bains has about as much chance at becoming an NHLer as Dane Fox did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know with journeyman NHLers. Bains way more grit than a guy like Dane Fox. Could very well be a Burrows like story with how hard he’s worked to get to where he is! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s a softeroo. So no chance. Signing hm was all about the publicity. Very sad move really. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks signed some solid hardworking guys with hands in tight this past year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxVerstappen33 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 So as I predicted, Podz is struggling in the AHL and had 3 shifts in the 1st period in Abby. I didn't so much predict this as say , id rather have him struggle through this in the NHL than struggle through it in the AHL. But ppl thought he would just dominate the A and get all this ice time. As if it's that simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if it's that simple 4 games, 2-1-3, +3, 2 PIM's, 9 shots It's ok. The AHL is less structured so there will some adjusting for him to do but what he really needs is reps and to get his confidence back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are some very, very strong feelings on a low risk high reward prospect signing lol why so sour? This kid tore up the WHL his last year, worth a hail mary flyer as a free agent signing....we didn't even waste a pick on him....there's literally no downside. If he doesn't develop in the AHL we move on, simple. FYI he was a standout at the young starts tournament all reports are he has a high hockey IQ. Wouldn't count him out so early, especially with players who have a chip on their shoulder. Edited December 7, 2022 by Harold Drunken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may call him softeroo and while he may not be a fighter look at his fight card. https://www.hockeyfights.com/players/25213/videos He sticks up for his team mates! This is his first year in the A. There is certainly going to be a learning curve pivoting from leading the WHL to learning a pro bottom 6 role. Give him some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bains might have to become a thirty goal man in the AHL first - just twenty-nine more to go… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
