DownUndaCanuck Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Livingstone would be my choice first obviously, bigger frame and putting up similar points to Malinski. PPG in the NCAA isn't too flashy but pretty decent when it comes to defencemen. It's always a gamble, you never know how these late bloomers are going to fare. I'd like to see what Livingstone could do slotted right next to Quinn though, surely that's a tempting enough reason to sign with us. If we somehow sign Malinski too he'd probably be with OEL or on our bottom pairing with Dermott, not bad. Everyone expects them to do well in the NHL, but I remember when there was so much hype about Danny DeKeyser, he finally signs with Detroit and to his credit, has had an alright career, but nothing amazing or flashy. Certainly no top star, just a decent defenceman for his career. Livingstone and Malinski are scoring almost 2-3 times as much as DeKyser was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have to look that far, remember when we signed Rafferty and Teves from College? Most of these signings tend to be insignificant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 1 hour ago, EddieVedder said: This is the guy we should be doing everything to get here They should but with the first contract cap it seems that financially every team are on equal footing as they can all only offer the same first term contract as the others. The deciding factor comes down to the intangible playing time, development opportunities, city, team direction and competitiveness... Depending what Livingston wants the Canucks should be able to offer an immediate opportunity to play and hopefully are on an upswing but there is enough disfunction that it could still scare him away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Freebies, cast-offs and scraps. The Canuck way. Draft them? Don't speak to me. We need those picks for small one way scorers. Buuuut, I am happy we are at least entertaining the idea of adding defence this time around. I don't think I could go another off season where we do nothing to address it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 One of the things I like about Livingstone, is that while he wasn't much of an offensive dman during his jr years, he learned to be very tough. He certainly can handle the physical game in the NHL and it looks like he can play well in both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
