But...why?  What actual need does he fill?  

 

RHC with mediocre underlying stats and overall numbers almost 29 years old when we have zero cap space and still need RHD.

 

Why?

 

This is absolutely a trade to make a trade unless something else is coming

My thoughts exactly. Really does not make any sense otherwise IMO.

Yeah i mean i loved the energy and commitment the Studnika showed. He just doesn't really do anything well. Lots of energy but just kinda skates around and runs into people, doesn't hit hard, does separate the puck very often, can't shoot, can't make a good pass.  I mean he's not terrible - but too average to earn a spot for me - even if you compare him to PDG, who is clearly more skilled. 

Joshua is our heaviest hitter on the fore check so he's got a lonnnng rope - also he will 100% get claimed. 

Aman is a natural C and still has a lot of upside and is a bigger body with more skill - just didn't have a good camp at all for me.

I feel like I was watching a different Studnicka than the rest of you. 

Same here.  Not sure what everyone else has been seeing, but I am still seeing a Canucks forward group that sorely lacks in size and grit,which must just kill Tocchet.  Don't see very much of this from Studnicka, but having Lafferty in the lineup together with Joshua is definitely a positive step in this regard.

Interesting,  Looks like Studnika and Aman might have played themselves out of a job this camp. 

The kids a pretty big lad (6'2-205lb)- not sure how heavy he plays - stats are pretty 4th line :
