Ya I don’t get it. He is a great 3rd pairing guy than can play in the top 4 when injuries hit. He also durable despite being small

Prospects are always better in pre season than actual NHLers

I can't wait for his game to grow, learn when to make the simple play and not do too much. Gets himself in trouble trying to be too fancy in his own end.

Yup, they really need to focus on protecting these guys.

Zack MacEwen one day?

Graovac is more engaged

3 goals combined in the last two years. It is not that good

Tanev has 1 more goal than him in 50 less games and you know what we think of Tanevs shooting

Pre-season.

The Astoria on Hastings and Hawks is nice and cheap

Has a beer store too

I think it's about his pending contract negotiations. For some guys, grossly over paying (based on performance) doesn't matter, there's lots of cap space, but for others it's a big mistake...

Pretty sure the city condemned it earlier this year.



Try the Rosedale, it's blocks from the rink and they usually have specials for game nights.

Waivers today.

It is a good deal if you have a full set of HazMat pajamas

Waivers today.

Surprised to see Pouliot on the list

all true

I'd like to see VAN get Brenden Dillon.

If anyone cares Perron cleared waivers

I'd like to see VAN get Brenden Dillon.

Missed that

His cap hit is too high for a number 7 Dman

Awww...waaaaah

Missed that

Random thought, he'd be a good acquisition. Plus JB likes big D-men. A local boy who can play a physical game. Good for a playoff bound team like VAN.

Where is all this Stecher hate coming from? He may be a little douche but he is a good player.
- CanuckDon

What do you mean by ‘little douche’?

He doesn’t play like a douche on the ice so do you mean off ice?

His salary is too high for a number 7 guy. I was thinking him over Biega . Just wait for next year UFA and sign him for a mil
