Boeser's season isn't over yet so he can't sign until then being a college player.
As for the 19 year old Guadette not sure if he and/or Nucks want him to leave college yet.

With Hank, Bo and Sutter at center not much room for him. He's not a typical fourth line center and would need to get stronger too.

Though Reese is a senior so he needs to sign somewhere. He might like opportunities and players he knows here.

Gaudette will probably need time in Utica. With MacKenzie, zhukenov and so many others. Cassels and valk already in Utica.

Zach Aston Reese is expected to sign somewhere this afternoon. I wonder if Daliwhal was referiing to that when he said Canucks will sign someone today

He might have been thinking of Daniel Brickley, Defenseman, Minnesota State. Good size 6'2 205lbs offensive D men that can walk the line and shoot well. When his season is over JB will try to real him in.

Cassels shouldn't even even get a 2nd contract from the Canucks. Has 17 points in 119 AHL games.

Waste of a contract slot. Ask him if he wants to sign a AHL deal with Utica but that's about it.

I expected him to become an NHL player, at this point he doesnt deserve to be anywhere but the ECHL

Lets hope so.. would be nice to pick up the best college dman two years in a row

Boeser is a lock to sign this year.

I'd be shocked if Gaudette signs yet, everything I've read regarding him suggests that he's not physically ready and that he himself doesn't think he's ready and wants to play another year in college.

Reese knows Gaudette of course, but apparently is also friends with Hutton so that may help even if Gaudette isn't signed yet.

Yeah that's how I was looking at it.

If Canucks want him going pro they could say come now get Sutters spot as we are shutting him down for season. He gets a chance to see what he needs to do.

But he'd probably be playing on Comets next season with injury call up only. Plus he will have to bulk up while playing more games. It's safer for him to wait a year in College and let Hank retire to open up a top 9 spot.

Hes probably 2 years away still from playing a regular shift. No rush, can always fill holes with vets on 1 year deals who we can flip at the deadline.

shows how bad our prospect pool was.. once all these guys from the last couple of drafts start to step in there it will be much easier to see what we really have

Utica is a mess, they didn't have much depth to begin with and then the Canucks raided their roster. He's more of a 4th line talent in the AHL that can play spot duty on the 3rd line when a center get injured or called up.

It's actually kind of surprising that they've kept their heads above water with that roster. They have one of the least skilled forwards groups in the entire AHL.

Aren't they 7-0 and currently holding a playoff spot?

A mess might be a bit over the top

Tonight, we meet Drew Shore and see Granlund return, plus notes on Ryan Miller and the Comets in the new blog:

Talent-wise they are. Subban might be their most skilled player and he's a midget dman who can't defend very well. Plus Demko has been amazing lately and carried them.

They play a great team game. Green deserves a lot of credit.

I am trying to figure out how to incorporate Gaunce, Lemmings and SCRAPS into one Avatar. It's not easy.
