AHL depth is important. That is not nothing
Enough examples right now
C depth is vital. Like the signing

"Willing to go to Abbotsford" When has that ever done anything significant for the Vancouver Canucks?
Certainly seemed to help Aman

i want the bartkowski thread back
Probably the thing that defines whether or not Allvin/Rutherford can turn this team into a contender is if they can turn Abbotsford into one of the best farm systems in the league.
We completely overhauled the staff there a year ago - results are pending.

Abbottsford Canucks team began playing in 2021-2022 season.
I'm going to presume you only microwavable rice, as the other types take too long to prepare?
Clearly addresses an organizational need as a natural center. Abby Canucks are so thin right now, there's a good possibility he jumps right into the lineup on an ATO.

Mentioned on every list I saw of top NCAA free agents. Also on sites identifying college players Canucks were pursuing.

Attraction for Sasson there is real opening at third line center and from every description this is what his upside is.
Never get too high with such signings since so few have any real impact.

I'd like to bring me laptop in for service
I went to Abbotsford willingly a few times. Wasn't very impressive
I have microwaved my rice for the last 20 years and I am Chinese. The pot never has a crusty bottom to clean and it serves as a container to store in the fridge.
Reviewing the article about Sasson in the Vancouver Province, some of the NHL scouts who lost out are already dissing him as an NHL prospect.
One said that in his prime years, 24-29 he tops out as a decent AHL center. He adds that if you look at the record, most NCAA free agents end up as AHL players.
Hopefully Sasson uses this as 'motivation'. Certainly the third-line center role with the Canucks is wide-open. Raty should have the inside track, based on his pedigree. But hasn't done a lot in Abbotsford to say he's a lock for it.

A lot of these NCAA guys negotiate to go straight to the NHL club to burn a year of the ELC. He didn't get him for extra year on ELC now.

So is he fast or is he not? Reading contradictory things about his skating.
If he has + skating we might have some potential as a bottom 6 C which continues to be a need. He can be Focht’s replacement in the system.

I’m gonna try this. Thank you for changing my life

The fact he has PK and PP ability and is apparently good defensively means they’re more of a path to a bottom 6 spot. Lots of NCAA can do PK and aren’t as valuable.
Not saying Sasson is anything special and he was on a great line, but he has some tools. Also, Alvin has a very good track record so far in terms of finding good free prospects so far…

His skating looks pretty quick in the limited highlights I’ve been able to find.
But he also has quite a hunched-over posture and looks much smaller than his listed 6’1.
