Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks sign Michael DiPietro plus NHL scouting combine notes The Vancouver Canucks continued their signing spree when they inked goaltender Michael DiPietro to his entry-level contract on Thursday, plus a look at this week's NHL Scouting Combine and offseason fun for Brock Boeser and Troy Stecher.

First! As always Carol, thanks.


My goodness, Michael DiPietro does not look old enough to be in the room where he was signing the paper!

Pretty quiet in here today... It really is summer now I suppose.

Thanks Carol! I'm interested to see how the Dmen in the range we're picking stack up to one another. I know one of the main things the scouts look for is not only who does the best but who looks to be capable of improving the most with age/proper training. I'd bet Bouchard shows better here than Dobson overall but Dobson will be the fitter of the 2 a few years from now when he fills out more

Does he have any international experience?

It's true

Do the Canucks always use the backdrop of a strip club for these signings?

The NHL's playoff structure is so broken and based solely on American TV ratings. Unless you are in LV or WSH, no one has any emotional commitment to the finals --- 99% of pools are dead and 3 days between games just kills momentum and then they give you an afternoon game which impresses no one in traditional markets. As if that was not enough, add the gorgeous spring we have been having and who wants to be inside anyways?

Man the senators are absolute dumpster fire.

Their assistant GM was arrested at the combine for rubbing the shoulders of a 19 year old Uber driver and masturbating in the back seat.

Wow.

Anyone else get the feeling that Canucks are looking at running with Demko and DiPietro in net, for next season?

I don't want too see this, as I am moreso getting a feeling, that the Canucks are considering it.
We have 2 backup goalies and Demko, who I believe is going too make the team.
The Canucks are looking hard at trying too acquire more picks and not a lot of goalies on the market.
Just a hunch though.

Maybe Dorion will take him more seriously when he tells him Hughes is giving him a woody

I think the Canucks try to move Nilsson after his World Gold Medal performance, then Demko could back up Marky and DiPietro could be in Utica

in all seriousness, I'm glad that Virtanen is working with Pavel Barber. His stickhandles are weak.
