People just like players that used to play for us and were a fan favourite, even if they weren't any good. He adds size, but that's literally the only thing he adds, worse at every other part of the game than our current players. A big reason why we are good this year imo is because have size and toughness and the coaches count as toughness too. Tocchet and Foote are mean SOB's. Every one of your guys play with toughness and grit now, we play bigger, we play with confidence. Zack won't help us more when it comes to X's and O's or goal scoring but he will help the players above him in the lineup play bigger and more confidentaly. A player like MacEwan playing 8 minutes a night helps more than a PDG playing 8-10 minutes a night imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekker Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 26 minutes ago, VegasCanuck said: Aman >>>>> MacEwan. I like MacEwan, but there's no reason at all to pick him up and sending Aman down to bring MacEwan in, only weakens our 4th line. I like Aman, but did you see him get pushed around by Boston? That's playoff like hockey and being pushed around for a seven game series is tough. Still don't think we are tough enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather Amen get pushed around than have MacEwan out there staning tall and giving up a couple goals instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intangibles that are more.valuable. than something you can get out of PDG or 100 different AHL tweeners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillStrimma Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 2 hours ago, Hammertime said: Aman doesn't require waivers??? Could we pick up Zack without losing anyone? It would be nice to have him back but not if it costs us anyone off our roster Why do you want him back? Do you want Tocchets hair to turn white?

But not at the risk of having to waive, and probably lose someone off the roster already. Why? He woulsnt play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwarrior Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 5 minutes ago, stawns said: Why? He woulsnt play? Wouldn't we have to waive someone to make room? Last time I looked, a couple hours ago, we are at 23/23 roster spots right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUSK v2.0 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 2 hours ago, Rekker said: That doesn't mean much to me, different fits for players on different teams. Mark my words as teams will amp up the physicality against the Canucks come season end. We will wish we had a guy like this. But I get the angst. I wanted him last time Ottawa waived... obviously they keep bringing him up for the bigger games like Toronto.... which they won. I would prefer to waive Aman and have the zack Mac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUSK v2.0 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 3 hours ago, Coryberg said: He does and would get snapped up in a heartbeat. His waiver threshold was 70 nhl games... he is at 98. I am ok with someone "snapping Aman up" because I dont think any other team would actually value Aman. He will safely land back with Baby Canucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much unheard of, Ryan reeves is over a minute above that Those PDG stats are misleading. He started the year on the Miller line which inflated his stats. Since he’s been pushed back to the 4th line he’s only playing 7-8 minutes a night. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's playoff like hockey and being pushed around for a seven game series is tough. Still don't think we are tough enough. Whole team was off. I agree that we need to muscle up a bit, but not at the sake of overall team. Would love to have Zack back but only if it doesn't mean sending any of the current team down to the Abbotsford. Aman deserves to be on this team! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
