Wait, really? I think I’m going to need you to cite some sources on this one.
Extremely positive news out of North Bay . As Anthony Romani is back skating again . Still multiple weeks away but a return is finally close and he should be back in action just before the christmas break
If I had some 'sources' they'd probably have said they identified Brustewicz's weaknesses with the help of fitness experts, video and coaches assessments. And they probably weren't satisfied with his progress.
Hence he was 'expendable' in a trade for Lindholm,. Yeh, actually sources would help. But even HF posters--or at least most of them--can read between the lines.

That's the wonderful thing about HF Boards. We can agree to disagree.
The Canucks drafted Brzustewicz in the third round of the 2023 draft (75th overall). And after attending development and the Penticton prospects tournament, he went back and had a monster year in the OHL.
Yet the Canucks made little effort to sign him; and included him in the Lindholm trade.
So rather than 'coming to the rescue' of a fellow HF poster, what YOUR opinion?

You make some great posts, VanJack, but sometimes you miss a certain kind of sarcasm.
When you introduce a post with a suggestion that implies that most posters don't understand something that's in fact obvious, such as that there's a big drop off in the defense after the Canucks top pairing, or that management carefully evaluates prospects, there's a good chance you'll draw a sarcastic reply or two.
RobertKron wasn't really asking you for a source. He was whimsically pointing out that what you were offering up as a point you imagined was informative was actually something that everyone would be aware of. He was poking you a bit, because your post implies that everyone else is really quite stupid.
As to HB, I just don't know. Maybe the Canucks were high on him, but they wanted to get the deal done, and the only way they could was by including him. Maybe they'd completely soured on him as a prospect and were laughing to themselves that Calgary had any interest. In either case, I'd sure as hell hope that they went through the evaluative process you describe, because if they didn't, that's a scandalous lack of professionalism.

MAJOR | Top prospect Hunter Brzustewicz reveals why he didn't want to sign in Vancouver
It seemed as if the Canucks had landed a steal when they drafted Hunter Brzustewicz in the third round of the 2023 NHL Draft, more:

I am sure it was discussed on this forum before the trade, that Hunter B was unwilling to sign with Vancouver.

It was discussed well before he was traded, yeah.

One more point tonight and he'll be up to a point per game. Five minutes left, Guelph down by one.

Off topic but college/low minor play-by-play guys almost never seem to have a succinct, unobtrusive way of simply saying, "He scores!" It's usually just finishing their sentence but with a dramatically raised intonation ( ... hummana hummuna and he THROWS IT TOWARD THE GOAL) or saying "he scores" in some weird autotune up-and-down delivery ( and he ScOOAR ... esss)

The Canucks game over, a pause of about an hour, and then Alriksson and Patterson get underway for Guelph and Barrie.
When the OHL action wraps up I'll be cheering for Kudryavtsev to light it up again for Abbotsford.
What's happening overseas with Willander and Celebrini?

There's another Alriksson goal. Two periods to go.
He really has turned a corner , let’s hope Pattersson can do the same next season aswell , because it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen this year
Luchanko’s return to the Guelph lineup has been a Godsend for Alriksson (and Canuck fans)!

Ricky Bobby has done it again. Goal scored on a goal mouth scramble on the power play.
I believe that takes Alriksson to 9 goals, 10 assists for 19 points in 19 games
edit: on second look, it looked to be a goal scored off a rebound around the crease.

Alriksson has played his way into being worth his contract. Good for him.
