They are both forwards but that is a pretty thin association Anything that keeps Dries in the AHL where he belongs is a good thing. Dries is worse than useless and does literally nothing to help a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was scoring a bunch last year, just not a fit on a team that already is filled with smaller guys who are soft. So yes, maybe useless to our team right now, but a good depth call up when needed.

Cameron88188 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Massive win! Hey Jim take notes, this is how one can get a vet right handed centre for a 5th rounder and 1.15 aav… vs That Jay Beagle UFA signing at 4y, 3 mil aav was such a disaster! Alvin n co. Knows what they are doing. We are going to turn some heads this year! Great trade and very little risk! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name me an impact player from the last draft in the fifth round right now, I’ll wait. No shit.

Popular Post Sophomore Jinx Posted October 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2023 Everybody forgotten about the once and often heralded Tyler Motte? Lafferty is a bigger, better, and edgier version of him, and just as tenacious. He creates havoc, and finishes his checks. I can't wait to see him become a fan favorite haha, and if/when we make the playoffs, he will be valuable...a commodity we've been sorely missing 1 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolute trash last year and is another Megna/Ebbett/Petan. He had absolutely no place in an NHL lineup under any circumstances.

A 5th rounder for a player on pace to have a reasonably higher PPG percentage than someone like Motte and also had a record season last season, so he could even get better potentially. Anyone against this is baffling to me. Like sure, we lost a late round pick. The benefits far outweigh the cost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao, great to have a space to voice opinions but why is it with Canuck fans it’s always “the sky is falling “. Chicken little reference.

That's why you want picks in volume. We have one of the worst prospect pools in the league, along with a team that can't even make the playoffs. Yet we keep repeating the same mistakes. Maybe it's time the Canucks management change how they approach things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a call up level player though. He's a leave in the AHL no matter what level player. There's no excuse for allowing that plug to dress for a game; you need to have guys available in the minors who can play without embarrassing the franchise like Dries does.
