We know Edler is again going to be the minute monster. Stecher is never going to be able to handle that work load. We need a top pair that works. I’m not knocking Troy but he would do way better with severely reduced minutes. - thundachunk
We should say to Edler we will give you a new 4 year deal if you agree to waive at next years deadline.
I think we can all agree on this. Stetcher is not a top 4 dman right now.
The problem is that the team only has 2 reliable top 4 dmen, and one is made out of glass and the other one is turning 32 years old tomorrow. - Nucker101
I really want Gudbranson with Edler for some big minutes. I want to believe Guddy will play better with big minutes.

He looked best when paired with Edler. That's kind of the issue with this roster though, all the dmen only seem to look good when paired with Edler or Tanev lol.

Edler Gudbranson
OJ Tanev
DelZotto Pouliot (I know they are both left)
I truly think Hutton has fallen off.
Biega and Stecher are gamers and great depth players.
#Canucks sign 20-year-old forward to three-year entry level contract. Jasek was drafted by Vancouver in the sixth round, 174th overall, at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

I don't think I viewed a single offensive play where he actually takes a stride with the puck on his stick, guy is the antithesis of mobile
Not sure he fits the mold of a modern (or future) top-end d-man. Really hope we take a pass on this guy. - Whiskey-Tango
Haven't bothered to study his skating like some here apparently have but did watch the clip with a collection of his goals. Seemed like a bunch of them were on 2 on 1's. Kinda odd for a D-man if he's slow.
