Rumor: Canucks heavily looking at waivers for RD and C

[Joeyjoejoe]

Any interest in Alex Barre-Boulet?

Is he gonna be waived soon? I would have thought with Johnson and Gourde gone that he will have a spot.

We can trade you grant + manson... you welcome

 

[Cogburn]

We could also sign Staal and Demers instead...but that requires some foresight and not just being reactive.

We could also gamble on Dal Colle for a replacement (also inferior) for Gadjovich.

 

[thai jet]

Are there any other former Jet RHD available? What's Paul Postma up to?

Nathan Beaulieu, he can play either side brutally

We can trade you grant + manson... you welcome

That would actually fill 2 big holes if you know what I'm sayin'

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Logan Brown. If the Blues waive him.

How does one heavily look at waivers as apposed to just looking at waivers.

Do you know how long it takes Jim Benning to do literally anything?

 

[Cancuks]

He's playing 5D chess with a poker face. They call him Slow Jim. Don't worry, he'll pony up a high draft pick for a guy about to be put on waivers.

 

[DJJones]

Wait for an injury and put Gudbranson on waivers.

4D chess by brad.

Both staal and demers are cooked. We’d be better off playing our ahl plugs. Right ideology, wrong players

I don't disagree, they were just top of the list of remaining UFAs as far as points scored were concerned. I'm sure there will be better options on waivers, eventually, but would many present choices be uncooked at this point? Everyone on waivers hit them for a reason, and not every team has a management group as stupid as ours.

When Myers and Poolman are your top two RD, plucking an RD off waivers to fill in the 3rd pair might not be the answer.

Canucks don’t ever get decent players for free. We do however, lose decent players for nothing all the time.

Only players we ever get for free are scrubs.

 

[elitepete]

Why would Canucks leak that they are looking for players at those positions on waivers? It will now make other teams hesitant/come up with other plans if they have a player that fits that profile that they like onto waivers.

Do I even need to say it?

That's because you guys haven't heavily looked for players until now

 

[featherhawk]

we will trade you Dylan Strome

Watching how bad Chaisson is tonight knowing they gave up Gadovich for nothing is so f***ing Canucks it’s not funny….

 

[OVO16]

They will claim Biega from the Leafs

We can trade you grant + manson... you welcome

Whats the price for Josh Manson anyways? You envision getting traded mid-season?

 

[Nucker42]

 

[Whileee]

LOL...

 

[Canucks LB]

LOL...

There’s obviously something going on behind the scenes that nobody knows about, that being said nobody would put on waivers a person going through serious family problem, so that story looks to be false.

Not sure how you draw that conclusion…. He’s on a one way deal and is getting paid regardless of being waived. It’s still a business and the Canucks can’t afford to pay a guy 3 million to sit on the active roster.
