Prospect Info: Tom Willander: 11th Overall 2023 Draft (Rogle BK J20) - Part 02

He signs tomorrow for sure and the last piece of our defense becomes complete.

OMG ive been waiting for a homegrown RHD forever.

We had to trade our actual captain for a competent one.

We had to trade our emotional captain for an emerging one.

We had to draft one ourselves and watch him play for 2 yrs.

But its all here. I dont wanna see a single Willander trade proposal on the Nucks boards.

In fact im heading straight to the main boards to make a value of thread proactively where I demand everyones best players in each response to get some revenge for the last decade.

Willander for Eriksson-Ek. Who says no?

Wonder if the likely injury to Forbort changes the plan at all. Word was the Canucks wanted him to start in Abbotsford, but maybe if he signs he gets into the final two games as injury relief before headed to the AHL?

I don’t think it matters. I assume Willander will be driving the bus on this one. If he wants to burn a year he will burn a year and play a game or two this year. If he wants to not burn a year and have an AHL playoff run, he will sign an AHL contract.

I think it's one or the other. Can't do both. He plays in the NHL or he signs a PTO to play in abby.

rypper is correct. He can either sign an ATO and play in Abbotsford or play in Vancouver for his final two games. There is no combining the two.

IIRC it’s because he wasn’t papered down by the parent club at the deadline several weeks ago as NHL contracted players needed to be to be eligible for the AHL playoffs.
I believe that is the case. Caulfield in the 20/21 covid shortened season played 2 games in Laval and 10 with MON but I would imagine that was a special case given the Covid and thus part of the return to play agreement between PA and NHL to get players into cames.
 
What are the trade-offs from Willander's perspective in signing an NHL vs. AHL contract? I would assume that an AHL contract does not remove a year off of his ELC? Are there ways to make up for that in kind?
 
Canucks needs some good news so bad man.
Please sign, we need him to sign, such a big part of this future (For a trade for Center) Kidding Kidding! :laugh:
Willander should be on the roster by the end of next season, depends what they wanna do with Myers

Why does Rickie say 24-48 hrs just fax the dude Zeev Buium's or Ryan Leonard's exact contract and white out the names.

Its on puckpedia and all over twitter I can DM it to Willander myself!

Apparently Canucks don't wanna give out all the bonuses, I don't exactly know how all of this works, it was mentioned the other day.
