Confirmed with Link: Canucks sign RD Vincent Desharnais 2-Year, $2M AAV Contract

He's having a major struggle with adapting to our system and guys are getting in behind him too easily. He'll have some shifts that look promising ... and then just a major positional gaffe.

I liked the gamble/upside with this signing at the time but right now it's looking like a mistake.

This management group has shown they can quickly correct mistakes which is good. They even managed to get a pick for Lazar and there are desperate teams that would probably take on Desharnais right now.

I don't think he's worse than Juulsen for almost all of last season. Similar issues really, putting himself out of position because of bad decisions and slow play reading.

I think we need to develop guys, not everyone is going to be at their ceiling. They would cost more to acquire otherwise.

Also are you guys describing Desharnais or just Myers at many points in his career here? Pretty hard to tell really.

I don't think Desharnais will be moved. I think the Canucks knew he wasn't a finished product when they acquired him and he'll be a work in progress for some time
