I don't think this is really a loss for the Canucks. AHL depth piece. There's nothing there. Canucks likely told him he's not getting an NHL gig so he decided to see what else is out there. I have no interest from a Flames perspective.

August 16th is UFA. 15th is the last signing by rights holder.
I dont know if he wants to go with friends or where he feels he has the best shot.
Seems like he could backfill for UM alum and current captain of the Rangers Jacob Trouba as a 6/7 D at a much cheaper price.

Where did you see this? Seems like a weird move when there would be nhl/ahl interest

I think the Penguins would be a good choice. They are very light on defensive prospects and if they don't do well this season, they will be selling off a couple of guys - Pettersson, Gryz, and they might try to move a guy like Karlsson or Graves. In their pursuit to get younger, he could find himself in a good position.

Pretty sure it was mentioned on Twitter as well
Penguins would be a good spot. Room to play, and worst case scenario, he's the top guy in Wilkes Barre and first callup when needed. Dubas likes going after NCAA free agents (as well those coming out of the CHL and European Pro), so he's probably keeping tabs on Truscott's situation.

i don't think he has a realistic shot at any nhl roster right away but he's not wrong to be skeptical of his longterm chances in vancouver and i am not sure they'd give him a contract slot anyway. they clearly prefer to back up hughes with bigger physical dmen.
my guess is he'll sign for an east coast team and ride the northeast ahl buses for the romantic experience and to see if he can get any traction. most likely the devils.

Pittsburgh has a track record of signing and giving these guys chances, and their cupboard is bare. Good fit.

If you want a flames perspective he is one of the UMich dman that Hunter Brzustewicz decided he didn't want to have to compete with when he decommited from his dream school.

Canucks offered him a contract.
The timeline for all prospects was proposed to his agent. He will first report to the ahl and go from there.
Agent said he wants to try the open market.
He’s not good enough for us to be more persistent type of prospect.
We did offer him an entry level. He wanted to try with another team.
We honoured his request. As some said he’s a fringe prospect.
Best of luck to him.
