VegasCanuck Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Not sure if he'll be here before January, but I think he's our first call up if we get bitten by the injury bug. So far, we've been pretty lucky this season on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I really think this guy is here by February, earlier if we have injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammertime Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I think Bains slips quite nicely into Di G's spot on the Miller line but for now Di G is doing great there. It's a good problem to have. Once we move a winger I think we will see Bains. Beau is just keeping a spot warm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bains is also a very talented passer in my opinion which could lead to more opportunities for Boeser and Miller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think Bains sees time in Vancouver this season and will be a full time guy on the team next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to trade a forward or have an injury or two to manage it though. Hope he can be a disruptive checker at the NHL level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkidu Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Man, this guy... Did you see our first goal? It's like Bains saw it before it happened. He used his own blueline like a gravitational sling so by the time his check knew what was happening Bains already had 20 feet on him. He streaked up the ice, picked up the puck deep where Wouters had managed it up the boards, and put it back to Wouters who one-timed it in. All I can think is the organization is keeping him down until a spot looks like it might open up permanently. If he can do this in the NHL then there's no way he'll be sent back down. Should call him Brains because of his foresight. Edited December 3, 2023 by Inkidu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to have a logjam of young forwards next year. Hogs, Aman, Joshua have shown they belong. Karlsson is looking good at NHL level. Bains and Podz are up next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAA Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/news/arshdeep-bains-named-to-the-2024-ahl-all-star-classic Arshdeep Bains Named To The 2024 AHL All-Star Classic Bains leads the Abbotsford Canucks with 29 points in 29 games this season. Fantastic news, I am really looking forward to seeing what Arsh can bring next preseason, hope he makes the big club. With his motor and work ethic, I think he would be an excellent addition to the bottom 6. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckMan Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Arsh Bains will come up next year because we will lose someone in UFA/RFA. My guess is Lafferty or someone is going to over pay Joshua. I expect both Bains and Podz to make the team next year. We will need to bring in some cheaper guys to offset the raises some of our UFA/RFA will get. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Cathode Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Bains is one of my favourite prospects. Smart, smart, smart team guy with great hockey sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kettlevalley Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Why is it that the team seems to think Karlsson is a better fit or going to perform better in the NHL then Bains? Karlsson seems more a low level replacement that will take a bit to blend in and fit and perform and we have several shift goal scoring types. While I see Bains as a player not like our other players, smart hardworking pest. More like Burrows or Lupul or Peca. Closest we have to that is Garland. I would rather see them call up different players then the same one a few times myself. I guess they want one player to settle in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlsson is no slouch in the AHL he is also born in 99 vs 2000 with his contract expiring this year management probably wants to see what they have and whether they view him as a player to move forward with Bains has another year on his contract so there is still time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem short of shift disturbers still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
