SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) 22 minutes ago, 6of1_halfdozenofother said: S5, heard it here first, Max "Vidal" Sasson is prime target for the Canucks. He’d be a pretty good addition. Speedy two-way player (he’s a plus-rated skater by many scouts) with average/decent size (6’1”, 185 lbs) who centred one of the top lines in college (I think McAllister-Sasson-Polin combined for the most goals in the nation this season) and can play in all situations. Logged really big icetime in the NCAA (some games pushing 24-25 minutes) playing on the top line and on both special teams. Edited March 25, 2023 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Autocorrect keeps changing Polin to Poulin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 35 minutes ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: Häman-Aktell is 24 years old, so he’s probably a lot closer than that. He’s the third highest scoring Dman in the SHL this year (and the 2nd leading scorer on the first place Växjö Lakers) with 36 points in 51 games, plus another 4 points in 5 playoff games so far. A former 4th round pick by Nashville, his development was disrupted by injuries/surgery and he went unsigned when his draft rights expired. Finally healthy, he’s been making up for lost time and has exploded this season as a late bloomer. He’s a two-way Dman who can play all situations, uses his size to play an aggressive, physical game, and can chip in some scoring, with good puckmoving and a heavy shot that he’s able to get through to the net. Canucks have been rumoured to be pursuing him as one of their top European targets, but it’ll be a while before we hear anything. Depending on how deep they go in the playoffs, Växjö could be playing late into April. The important date will be June 15th, the signing deadline for European free agents under the transfer agreement. Intriguing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 6 hours ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: He does indeed. Gold Star offers NCAA family advisement (basically acting as an “agent” before they’re allowed to have agents) as part of their suite of services. Max Sasson (rumoured Canucks target) is one of his clients. This is the reason Dhaliwal mentioned his name. He’s obviously been talking to Milstein. Dhaliwal is also the one who threw out the names of Gavrikov and Barbashev, also Milstein clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also a late birthday and will be 19 this year. He may follow a similar pattern to Moritz Seider. Seider went to play in the AHL right after he was drafted. I can see Reinbacher doing the same thing. He could be a top 4 Dman by age 21 just like Seider… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was supposedly mutual interest not that long ago. There’s the local connection to Langley and lots of opportunity here. He could be given a shot with Hughes for the final 6 or so games and then join Abby for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
