If he is not picked, what's gonna happen for him after ? Being suspended without pay ?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

He can help a lot of teams

 

[serp]

Nobody is picking him up with all the questionmarks around him right now. Is he vaccinated , will he play at all ? He's the Canucks problem to figure out. Waiving him at least saves $~1.2 million on the Cap.

Is he vaccinated , will he play at all ?

That info is one phone call away.

 

[Cogburn]

I think he and Bailey are being waived because they were unable to get up to speed in training camp. His vaccination status is overblown, I maintain he wouldn't be delaying it with a high risk immunocompromised child at home without a reason better than microchips or freedom, but not being at camp means that, assuming he clears, he can get upto game speed without negatively impacting the rest of the team. Or if he's claimed, we save more cap space.

Only American teams, Since he can't play in Canada.

1.25

Possibly anti-vax, definately sucks. Yeh not surprised he's waived.

 

[McHaNugYakEbNurDra]

So much speculation, so little proof of peoples opinions.

 

[canuckslover10]

I wouldn't be surprised if an American team picked him up considering their views on the vaccine differ from Canadas quite a bit.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Another feather in Benning’s cap.

What a f***ing awful offseason.

 

[Nucker42]

So much speculation, so little proof of peoples opinions.

Well media and people’s mind wander when the team and player provide zero clarity.

the reason you provide some semblance of info is so the speculation doesn’t run wild.

 

[iFan]

So much speculation, so little proof of peoples opinions.

speculation is what happens when the player and team say nothing about what the issue is. He just signed a new contract and doesn’t show up to training camp and doesn’t give a reason for this. You open the door wide open for speculation when you’re a good player in pro sports.

 

[Not Sure]

Cole Beasley will claim him off waivers

 

[Kaners PPGs]

You shouldn't generalize on this one.

 

[varano]

He stinks

The positives are that now Canucks can play Tucker Poolman higher up in the hierarchy.

 

[thebigbea]

Not sure what is going on with him. Rumour had it he have a friend that is really sick. That’s about it

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I never saw anything in him, even when he was at his best. Typical physical defensive D that gets overrated and declines somewhat fast.

 

[Jumptheshark]

do we know that actual back story here? He has gone from a fine outstanding off ice person to a self cantered player over night?

 

[StreetHawk]

Wonder if this is potentially a pre cursor to terminating the contract if he doesn’t report soon as teams have to put the player through waivers first.

 

[North]

The positives are that now Canucks can play Tucker Poolman higher up in the hierarchy.

Oh God. When Poolman is your best right d man, you’re in trouble.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

He stinks

 

[T_Cage]

If he was anti Vax and not playing in games, couldn’t play hey just suspend him and save his whole cap hit? Why would they waive him and still carry dead cap?

I feel like there’s more to the story here then we all know, as much as everyone loves being in vaccine witch-hunt mode rn
