Didn't he play there last year tho?

No. He was on the Henderson Silver Knights.

 

[Diversification]

VGK and their AHL Affiliate, Henderson

Based on what Alvin said I’m seriously wondering whether they are waiting for rosters to be set then waiving Aman and recalling Bains.


I’m probably reading too much into the “we’ll see Wednesday night “

 

[Wisp]

Yzerman has become paranoid. He’s the driving force behind the draft being moved to remote. Thinks other teams are spying on him.

lol someone might discover his interest in overpaying middle six players

PDG is another serious consideration here.

I’m thinking he partially said that to soften the blow to Bains a bit, and they might even bring up PDG for game 1 because he’s a trusted veteran and Tocchet’s guy who’ll come out flying.

Either way I think Aman may be on his way down.

 

[TruGr1t]

I also trust Raty more than Bain at this level

It would all depend on the space to be filled, if there'd been a 4th line wing slot open, I think Bains may have made it.

 

[Sexy Necksy Garland]

Yes and yes.

Dhaliwal gonna told ya so on Friday HalBro hit. Probably already did on his own show.

 

[TruGr1t]

Dhaliwal keeps saying it and Allvin specifically mentioned it today. I'm not a fan at all but I can see it making sense closer to the deadline.

Rumour is Demko will be out till sometime in November now, so it's really hard to say what will happen and I doubt Allvin's comments are worth a bag of rocks. Will really depend obviously on how things play out between Silovs and Lankinen.

 

[arttk]

IR not LTIR. I detailed it out yesterday but they could have sent Bains, Raty, and Silovs all down today. IRed Joshua and kept Demko active. Accrue a higher than expect amount of cap space tomorrow, then IR Demko on Wednesday and recall Raty and Silovs. This would have had the Canucks accruing space tomorrow at a 2.165m tomorrow rate rather than 0.48m.

I'm guessing they didn't do this because they value having the complete roster for practice tomorrow.

I am guessing they can paper them down after practice and “call” them up on game day. I guess technically they can do that whenever we are at home.

I’m not entirely sure how it works for practices. Like, that makes sense but also doesn’t. So I’m curious if they do that tomorrow.

"-too many teams are risk-averse
-there are teams that are afraid to call other teams because they feel it means they lose leverage; Canucks are not afraid to call
-for example, Walman wasn't shopped around"

He's basically calling out Yzerman. It's how Hronek became a Canuck as well.

On the point of Yzerman though, it’s possible that what they were primarily looking for was the highest draft pick possible and the Canucks had the Islanders pick which at the time was a potential #12-15 pick. They ended up with ASP who some (many?) had ahead of Willander. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a target and getting what you were looking for.

When we were looking to trade Hodgson, Gillis had a list of players he would trade Hodgson straight up for. We were looking for something specific and ended up with Kassian who was on the list.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Hoglander being a proof of concept player-development example to show other young players is not an element I considered

Nah, it’s actually true

He played his way out of Rick’s doghouse last season

Possibly

Or it could be that Yzerman is not a good GM

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Either way I think Aman may be on his way down.

Nah

It was reported that Tocchet trsuts Aman

 

[David71]

Either way I think Aman may be on his way down.

good he should stay there.
