Would be great if we can add Bear right now, but unless he's willing to sign for league minimum (so we can then waive Juulsen) we don't have to cap space to sign him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is coming for a try out? I really hope management takes their time in evaluating his play coming off surgery before signing him. Last thing we need is another injured D man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to start when everyone else is in mid season form. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Even if they sign him I don't think I'd expect much, he'd be coming in cold having not played meaningful games in a long while. Not sure he'd be better than the depth guys we already have, guys who have been playing games. All the best to him with his health though of course.

Slegr Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I would take a pass on Bear, even with our significant injury bug on defense right now. Even as a depth guy, he just doesn’t seem like a good fit with the direction of the group. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 How bad is Irwin? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I’m still optimistic on this. He came in fairly cold last year, as well, and played some good hockey for us. Between Calgary’s prices, Soucy’s LTIR relief and him being open to a cheap deal I hope we can get something done. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 29 minutes ago, Nucker67 said: How bad is Irwin? I am genuinely surprised he hasn't been called up. He has always been a solid 3rd pairing/depth D. One would think he is an upgrade on guys like Juulsen and Hirose still. Being a veteran D with a lot of games under your belt counts for a lot. I can see him not getting a ton of time in Abby because that is a development league, but he seems ideal to be up with the big club sitting in the press box until needed. Maybe time has just caught up with him and he can't keep up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to start when everyone else is in mid season form. I wish there was a way for him to be put on a PTO and play a few games with Abby first. Although if there are a couple interested teams, he might tell Canucks to go piss up rope. Not sure. who knows if the tweet is even legit.

You’d think now would be the ideal time for him to fill in and maybe win a spot on the bottom pairing/NHL spare going forward. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but the players he'd be trying to replace also have talent and experience, difference is they've been getting games and practices in. It's not that I think he's forgotten how to play, I just question how effective he'll be coming into the season cold, it's been a while since he's played games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 9 minutes ago, Lemon Face said: My dead grandmother is better then Juulsen Not sure who you've been watching, he's been pretty effective overall. He skates well, hits well and considering he was just watching from the press box for awhile, I think he's been improving in general every game. Not saying he's the second coming of Bobby Orr or anything, but for the most part, he's been pretty solid for 775k. TSN shows him as -6, but I think that's an error. If you look at his game log, last night was the first time he has been on the negative side of +/- since Sept 24th, preseason in Calgary.
