Not sure I'm too pumped about this.....seems like treading water to me, bringing back Blueger.
I get that he's good in the faceoff dot and on the PK.....but also had a 30-game goal-less drought last season on a team that was one of the highest scoring in the NHL.
Bottom line, the Canucks need a lot more offense from all their bottom-six forwards, especially Blueger. And checking his career stats on Hockey DB, there's no indication Blueger can deliver.
Hard not to argue that surely there were some better options than that out there on the UFA market.
