Now we just need Demko to say the same.

"SAY IT, DEMKO! SAY IT NOW"

Yeah, I'm personally a little worried about Demko, especially after McCann's "not wanting to give anything away" comment.

What did McCann say? I missed it

He said he didn't "want to give anything away."

He said he didn't "want to give anything away."

Was he asked about Demo? If that's what he responded with I think that means that he'll most likely sign with us.

edit: Although lately it seems like Demko's dad is hinting that he's signing with the Canucks. Followed a bunch of Canucks media recently and is doing some cryptic countdown on his twitter. Maybe we'll see him signed by Friday.

Sorry, should have provided more context.

-Paraphrase-

The reporter asked McCann, "Since you're good friends with him, has he talked to you about the signing process?"

McCann laughed it off and said nervously "we don't really talk about hockey, but uh, well I don't want to give anything away".

Not really worried about Boeser. Seems like a good, stand-up kid and a Twin Cities article from April 12th (yesterday) had him saying this:

http://www.twincities.com/2016/04/12/bob-sansevere-qa-north-dakota-hockey-forward-brock-boeser/
If this was in the Province, I'd take it with a grain of salt, but in a Minnesota pub? No reason for him to fake it at all.

Hey thanks for sharing that! Thats a nice read sounds like a really smart great player developing for us. I dont like his decision to stay in college but maybe he knows better then me about being a professional hockey player!!

Thanks, I'm not reading to much into what McCann said. I'm holding out hope that he'll sign with us in two days .

Tough to know what is going on in the kid's mind, but hard not to wonder if he'd be going back to UND if the Canucks weren't such ass last season. Sigh. Really disappointing.

Benning didn't even give him a contract to sign.

It's not a big deal.

I don't remember saying that it was?

One rarely says they are making a big deal out of something it's usually implied.

But if I did miss interpreted your post I apologize.

 

[Shareefruck]

Between this and "It is what it is" I love McCann's nervous ineptitude with the media.

[asked about giving Demko signing decision a sales pitch]
"I'm doing my best. I honestly am.....but we uhh...... I don't really talk to him about hockey..... but uhh.. [nervous laugh] I don't really want to give it away here, but uhh.... [oh crap!] I don't know. To be honest with you. I don't."

He directly contradicts himself back and forth like three times in one sentence.

What a beast. I don't want to wait another year to see what he can do in the A

He'll be in the NHL next season

 

[M2Beezy]

cant wait to see him in the orca

 

[M2Beezy]

He'll be in the NHL next season

Nope

All ready confirmed going back to college

I think he meant next next season. I hope he's right, but I'm trying to temper my expectations.

If things work out in the next 3 months, hopefully we'll see a Matthews - Boeser pairing in 2017.

No doubt in my mind thats what well be seeing

 

[BrockBoeser6]

Any chance Boeser gets selected to the USA IIHF team?

I personally think he has a decent chance.

Believe me if I think something is a big deal you will know.

 

[BrockBoeser6]

I personally think he has a decent chance.

With him being named national player of the month March/April, his national championship performance, and USA going with a younger approach, he seems like a good choice. Would love to see him on Matthews wing and Demko between the pipes!
