Goose Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I think the Canucks should try to acquire Poolparty. They are short on RH shots on the wing. I would really like to see what the coaching/development staff could do with him. In my viewings he is a hardworking player. Tocchett’s system is straightforward and rewards hard work. Could be one of those reclamation projects that pay dividends. He could get a shot w Petey (he needs a true RH wing badly imo). Previously, I had a very long winded draft made up of why Petey doesnt need a super star like a Kaprizov or Panarin type. He needs 2 way players with speed, (some) size and decent hands. Petey is the elite skilled talent on his line. In the playoffs soft skill disappears (eg Panarin, Marner etc). A guy like Robert Thomas would be perfect but that’s a dream scenario. Poolparty could play in a bottom 6 role if a Petey experiment doesnt work. Canucks need some cheaper talent that fits his player profile. Having Karlsson and Poolparty in the bottom 6 on the right side would be ok IMO. Just an idea. Dubas/PIT probably isnt even open to the idea but who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you mentioned Robert Thomas, I'd kick the tires on him. You never know who might be available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Year or 2 ago I considered him, but even McD couldn't bank that many goals off him, I think younger guys in our system deserve more of a chance at this point? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlsson is a rh too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy couldn’t play with McDavid That is a good point, I could play with McDavid and probably score 17 goals with 15 of them being deflections of my helmet into the net by McDavid. Still a PTO is nothing to sneeze at ... one never knows. Perhaps Tic Toc and Foote can squeeze some juice of of the lemon but then again the squeeze may not be worth the juice, hence a PTO ... Did I just win an argument with myself? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I just win an argument with myself? A pto would be fine. The problem with Pool Party is he hasn’t accepted that to have an nhl career he needs to play a bottom six role, where he needs to be hard to play against before being a point producer. He might work out if he could change how he sees himself as a player. He’s big, and can move. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
