Re: 2016 Training camp
Although I wasn't too keen on Larson, it's smart to have two rolls of the dice instead of one. It could very well be that neither of them stick in the end, but the pressure is on Larson now. I reckon he gets a full year in the bigs; Canucks can take their time to develop Pedan and Stecher.

Burr does provide excellent leadership and experience and that will be pretty valuable to the young guys here. So, I am guessing Burr will often be the 13th forward? Anyway, It'll be interesting to see the final cuts and cheer on Burr in his final season.
Sedin/Sedin/Eriksson
Granlund/Sutter/Rodin
Baertschi/Horvat/Etem
Dorsett/Gaunce/Hansen
Burrows
Edler/Tanev
Hutton/Gudbranson
Sbisa/Larsen
Tryamkin/Biega
Just a guess here!
Cant have a 4.5 million dollar guy as your 13th forward. Wake up people. Burrows is on the team. Even if it's 4th line, he is on the team. He brings intangible things to the team.
The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.

Re: 2016 Training camp
If they intend to waive anyone does it not have to be today so they clear in time. Usually all the last waivers happen 24 hours before the roster set deadline. Thinking here of a Etem I am. He's really the only one left that they have to waive if they send to Utica, and of course any PTOs they may want to sign and waive, if any.
Five on the bubble:
Virtanen
Gaunce
Etem
Skille
Ruutu

Re: 2016 Training camp
See I'd waive Etem and put a claim in on Paranteau. We would have a very good shot at a successful claim. Some other interesting names popping up. Perhaps we don't release/sign Ruutu or Skille until noon tomorrow if we do put in a waiver claim on anyone.BladesofSteel wrote:Of note today, PA Paranteau and Andrej Pavelec have been placed on waivers.
Still awaiting official word for the rest of the league.

All I did was agree with Mëds about Alex's mentoring skills.
Y O U claimed mentoring skills don't exist in the NHL.
Y O U claimed only those who have "played the game at a high level" would know this.
Y O U are full of yourself (as well as out to lunch).
Many, many NHL players and coaches have touted the mentoring factor.
Yet we're all supposed to concede to you on "hockey stuff" because we're all just "PC wizards"!!

Sounds about right, except Etem needs to get waived with Hansen and Burrows each moving up a line.Iceman2014 wrote: Sedin/Sedin/Eriksson

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Re: 2016 Training camp
Rodin put on IR, so looks like Jake will get a chance to try and cement a fwd spot. Can't say I'm happy with Stecher being sent down. In theory I know it's not the worst thing that could happen but when you tell the young guys and the fans that the best players will make the team, and Stecher was clearly better than Larson, then he should make the team. I personally would have been more excited to see what Stecher would/could do learning on the fly as did Hutton last year.

Stetcher wasn't clearly better than Larsen, not enough anyway to unseat a vet, yes Larsen is a vet, of sorts. Stetcher clearly does some things better and has tremendous upside. Larsen also does some things well and has defensive challenge too. But there was little to call between the two. Stetcher is flashier and exciting to watch but that doesn't make him better at this point.
Larsen will and should be given a chance to see if he can provide what we need from that role, that is PP quarterback. I have no problem withis choice, at this point. I emphasize that becausthat could change in 20 games or so.
Finally, Stetcher is showing like a piece of the future, a piece to build around. Getting top four minutes is huge for him, and us. Larsen may be on a make it or break it trajectory at this point in his career. So many of us were upset that Pedantic never got a real showing last season. Why make the same mistake with Larsen? None of us have seen enough of him to fairly judge. I'll be the first to dump him if he doesn't produce and proves to be a defensive liability.

Re: 2016 Training camp
Yeah, with you on that. Hopefully Stecher is back by November 1st.$lacker wrote:Rodin put on IR, so looks like Jake will get a chance to try and cement a fwd spot.

I think he has a more all round game then Larson.
Don't think he would be rattled or intimidated at the NHL level. He'll be back.
I think the fans and the team could do with the excitement Stecher could bring.

Unbelievable! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. In my years off and on this site as well as central, I have come across no one - NO ONE who is more full of themselves than you Strangelove. You set yourself up as an authority all the time and rarely if ever is there an ounce of humility or fallibility ever. Your schtick as you put it, gets tiring after awhile. It's interesting though how you have 'lap dogs' that cater to you and or get behind anything you say- (kind of reminds me of a school playground where there's a strong-minded bully that the other kids get behind lest they too become the focus of the bully). You have a great upside though, you're intelligent and you tend to offer opinions/views that are well researched. But enough already; get down from your perch would ya?

Re: 2016 Training camp
And WD basically said it today. Stetcher is ready for the NHL but he needs playing time. He also mentioned that Stetcher is used to playing 1-2 games then a week off. Our condensed schedule is brutal to start the season and he wants Stetcher to get used to the rigours of pro life at the AHL level and go from there. Said they wanted to put him in a position to succeed and didn't know that that would be the case here, right now. Said he'll be back this year.
Don't fret anyone.

Re: 2016 Training camp
Of note from the stats guys this preseason:
Pulkkinen-Granlund Finland represent!
or
Parenteau on the 2nd?
Babcock probably knows pulk' and may not want him, oilers just gave yak away so they don't need another winger, so in theory we should get first dibs no?
Free Stecher.Philip Larsen and Sbisa lead the Canucks defense with the worst shot attempt differential in pre-season.
A combined -45 shot diff
PA Parenteau would be great over Etem, the other guy I think would be a good pickup is Pulkkinen, granted he's coming off surgery like Rodin, so he'd need to be brought along slowly as well, but get them both healthy...Hockey Widow wrote:See I'd waive Etem and put a claim in on Paranteau.
