Rumor: Canucks front runners for Cole McWard (RHD)

[Canucks LB]

Scouting report?

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Young RD. All I need to know to make me happy!

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Young D typically better than old D.

 

[arttk]

Young D typically better than old D.

You don’t like your D seasoned?

 

[valkynax]

Young D typically better than old D.

"Typically" though, many rules to such exception.


Anyways, management seems to be aggressively trying to obtain young players from sources outside of the draft, not a bad way to go I suppose.

Might have some stink on it

 

[racerjoe]

I know nothing about him, but like that he is only 21. Means still time to grow, and take steps.

 

[Yultron]

This would be a home run signing by the Canucks , get it done

He's 22 in June (was first draft eligible in 2019). Should be a Senior finishing his degree. Late bloomer. USHL until he was 20.

Yes, but not a 24 or 25 year.

Maybe if some Montreal Steak Spice was rubbed on it.

True... Seems like Scott Young is having an impact on the organization in getting NCAA guys to sign. Did a great job with WBS Penguins in getting them NCAA free agents. Pens have been moving picks out over the years with Sid and their ability to get guys to sign and develop in their farm club has enabled them to be a playoff team.

Now comes how well Colliton and the staff in the A develop these kids.

 

[TomWillander1RD]

There is absolutely no info on this kid.

Early returns for Colliton look good. So fingers crossed.

 

[Josepho]

On paper this seems like a very good target. As a sidenote I'm always surprised at how many players seem to come out of Missouri.

Impact of MacInnis, Weight, Tkachuck, and co from that era has built it up. See it with Dallas. Growing the game at the grass roots level, if not on a national level.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Oilers have Connor McDavid.

We get a Cole McWard.

Our McGuy has a better name.

 

[bandwagonesque]

He has an AI-generated name and he looks a lot like Tommy Wiseau.

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

 

[Canucker]

Milstein signing?

 

[Vector]

He'd be an interesting signing. Younger than Sasson as he doesn't turn 22 until June.

Considering that the entirety of the Canucks right side depth for next season is Hronek, Myers, Bear, Juulsen, Johansson, & Woo, I can see the appeal of adding someone else.

 

[kylek023]

Oilers have Connor McDavid.

We get a Cole McWard.

Our McGuy has a better name.

Cole McWard sounds like if Connor tried make a pseudonym for himself

 

[Killer Orca]

Another lotto ticket hopefully some of these kids pan out. We need as much luck as possible on our backend sooner or later we have to find a gem.

 

[mathonwy]

Young D typically better than old D.

Riley Stillman feels attacked.

Yep. Can't wait to luck out and find a gem in our backend.
