Curmudgeon Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 4 hours ago, Kevin Biestra said: May as well. Sounds like the next time we call him up we won't get away with sending him back down. I guess maybe bring him up for the last 10 games or something if he isn't in the thick of something important in Abbotsford. I think the previous poster mentioned that once he plays two more NHL games, then he can't be sent down without clearing waivers. On the off chance he doesn't make the Canucsk out of training camp, they can send him down without putting him on waivers, where he would surely be claimed. I think this is simply insurance. Except in the case of more injuries up front forcing a recall, I think the plan is to leave him in Abbotsford, where he has played very well. And let's see if he can create some chemistry with Karlsson and Raty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I don't think any of Podz, Hogs, or Aman are ready - I'd like to see them help Abby - but that's exactly what this time is for to get guys a bit more time, adjust, transition, and apply what they've learned. Will be interesting to see Podz and Aman this time around. Di Giuseppe will be fine. Like his game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromeslab Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Good call bringing back Podz he’s well served in Abby for sure but give him a look at NHL play and maybe Gonchar can mentor him abit.shows potential to so called large Russians if u do work hard in the minors u get your chance Edited February 5, 2023 by Cromeslab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Someone on here mentioned Hoglander is 2 nhl games away from being waiver eligible . Could be a “showing” before going to another team .. via trade or pick up off the wire. Hogz for Mukhamadullin? or Bahl ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or what if he did start in Abbotsford and took steps forward, would you just leave him all season if it looked like maybe he could take the next step? Sooner or later they're going to have to decide how much rope they're willing to give Hoglander as he inevitably becomes waivers eligible, and whether he has a future on our NHL roster.

Bo is way better than Miller defensively. It’s not just D zone. It’s all over the ice. Bo makes better decisions and ismore often on the right side of the puck than Miller. Miller is a great player, but he’s not smart defensively. Do you remember writing this not even a year ago? Just wondering why the abrupt change in your v8kew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering why the abrupt change in your v8kew. Bo is the guy who would fly the zone while Miller was protecting netfront. Bo did nothing while his teammates took abuse. I thought we would keep Bo with a 50 mil offer. But Bo wants the big payday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeQuinnAndEggs Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I wouldn't say Bo was crap defensively but he's perceived as a 2 way player and he's not. He's more of a power play specialist who's great at faceoffs. Still very valuable, doesn't really have any crazy skills that stand out but has great work ethic. A solid number 2 centreman but someone is going to pay him like a number 1, and I'm glad it's not the Canucks. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
