Sammy!! Agreed. I think if utilized properly, this guy will actually shock the shit out of some and put a few pucks in the net too....the FO has built a very capable bottom 6, full of tenacity and solid 2-way players 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Love this signing. This is what a fourth liner should (and used to be the norm) should look like. Hope he's ready to play and comes into camp in great shape. Tochett is going to love this guy. As long as he's able to play, way better option then Aman or Podz. Or Linus Karlsson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJC Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 "Unrestricted free agent forward Jujhar Khaira was on Vancouver’s radar for the PTO slot that went to Sammy Blais earlier this week, report Thomas Drance and Rick Dhaliwal of The Athletic (subscription link). The 30-year-old is a veteran of 337 career NHL games but only one of those came last season as he spent most of the season with AHL Iowa where he had 18 points in 22 games. Drance and Dhaliwal add that the Canucks have not shown interest in Nick Cousins or Milan Lucic who are also looking for a new place to play for the upcoming season." https://www.prohockeyrumors.com 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d still like to see better Center depth after miller and Pete it’s a cliff To the third guy. (Hence why they rented lindholm last year). need to find the next malhotra a face-off monster that’s great Defensively. Yep. Or even Brandon Sutter minus the injuries. That and a top four D away from taking the league by storm next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't just add Beagle and expect the rest to "fall into place". One of a few Canucks during the JB era who was always the first man into things after a whistle/scrum. Sherwood, DeBrusk, Heinen, Forbot and Desharnais are all active shit disturbers. PDG, Bluegar, Joshua aren't too shabby either. How refreshing. This teams gained a lot of swagger.

Especially if Demko isn't ready to start the season. Šilovs while admirable in the playoffs last year, I don't think he's ready to take the #1 mantle of being a number one tender in the league. That might be rushing him, and we know what rushing players does to their confidence if they can't swim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Demko as your starter you have to really have three quality goaltenders as he is likely going to be out for some part of any given season. It is just part of good management. They need to be prepared for him to not be ready at any time. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patera has some experience but I would hope mgmt secures one more NHL viable option as insurance Can Phil Kessel play net?

Bobby James Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Good depth addition in case we need a 4th liner in Van. But great for Abby! Experienced player that bring physical play will be very helpful there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Jones has responded to media and informed he’s now retired. I really hope we can bring in either of the other two on a lesser deal. Lankinen was holding out for 2mil and pundits seem to think he’ll get close but if we can snag either for around 1-1.5 mill that’d be great. Really don’t know how long we might need them on the main roster for, but when Demko returns would rather see Silovs stick with the parent club. He deserves more NHL seasoning, he’s already good with that AHL spice rub. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
