I'd like to think that, but I don't see it. It's a lot to take on for a new player to jump in and be expected (because you know Canucks fans will expect it) to be part of the solution to turn this retool into a contender. This is why I've said before that his BC connection might be there still to entice him to join this gong show, but without that connection, I'd say our chances are slim.

J-23 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 What’s his realistic upside. NHL ready? AHL ready? Future top 4 dman? Or another bottom 2 dman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinky-Winky Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) He is a BC boy so theres that, if we can get him would be great, the mainthing the nucks have for them, is he actually is interested in comming to vancouver, so we have that but if another team offers him more or soemthing that makes it hard to decline, than /rip?

KyGuy123 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 You offer him the two year and let him play to burn a year off the ELC. You offer him guaranteed playing time and opportunity (PP2, PK) with Hughes and roll out the red carpet. You can’t lose the opportunity to find out if he’s a player or not at the next level. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I just cant imagine him not signing here. We have the need, the best opportunity and path to a top 4 role with potential to play with a super star and some really great d coaches for mentors that will align perfectly with his path. oh ya and the BC connection. this feels like a slam dunk signing and look forward to it being announced. im not sure if he’s be ready to play tough matchups with Hughes but who knows maybe he actually is. I thought he’d need a year in abby then a year on the bottom pairing but we will see first where he signs then how he shows / fits in. really hope we get him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the drama is gone. it’s on to Philly and other cap strapped middling teams pushing for the playoffs. or Calgary and Sutter etc We’ve got good energy going again it feels like to me we are more aligned organizationally. We are embracing the tank. Everyone is on the same page. I’m into what’s happening now 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been referred to as an NHL ready defenseman right now. Whether that an overestimate or not he can't be worse than the 5 other bottom pairing guys this team ices every game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted March 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 Surely this is a given, Allvin can offer him playing in BC, alongside one of (if not) the best mobile defencemen in the league, top-4 minutes on an up and coming team. Not many teams can offer that. Then we're just one top 4 LD signing away from having a proper NHL defence. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still second J-23’s question. Is this guy worth getting excited for? Does he project to be a top-4 D or is he just another placeholder until something better comes along?

Phil_314 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 If he joins us and becomes another Nick Perbix (average 15 minutes but with 19 points in 52 games, +13; stands 6'2", 191 lb.; occasional 3rd pair OR top pair RD) for us, I would be over the moon. Not great but solid defense is what we need and any player added above Myers' caliber is a win in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did Kuz Missile choose us over all the other clubs? For Livingston, he would get to play with Hughes. That’s the best opportunity to play with a guy who will inflate his stats and help him get a much bigger next contract. He will choose us because it’s the best for his future earning potential. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
