Popular Post Coconuts Posted October 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2023 Looking forward to tracking him, I'm still tickled pink we actually took a D with our first round pick. And that was actually held onto our pick instead of moving it for that matter. If the Canucks want top four D on manageable deals they need to draft and develop them themselves, it's much harder to pluck legit top four D in their prime away from other organizations. Hopefully this leads to their holding on to their top two picks more often going forward. 2 1 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BU coach, and ex NHLer, said on an interview he expected Willander to be only in college one year and then be on the Canucks. Willander will be on our club next season.

Everything I’ve seen from Willander indicates he’ll be NHL ready sooner rather than later. He’s such an amazing skater and has a great shot and an excellent work ethic. I honestly don’t think he’d look out of place on the Canucks 3rd pair right now in a pinch! Give him another year playing North American hockey and he’ll be ready to step right in and partner Hughes for the next 10 years. 2 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see Willander have a good start. Benson has the potential to be special. But I also think that Willander is special... A defencemen and a righty. No doubt in my mind that he will be almost if not equally impactful as Hughes in 2 years. Tell me, when was the last time this team had not just one but two legit #1 elite defencmen? NEVER.... So yah I know I'm fipping out after just one game but even if he turns into a Hronek level player... Still a huge win for this franchise. A franchise going forward with an very deep defencecore.

Been saying the latter of your statement for the last 40+ years but it's ALWAYS been sell the farm for a one trick pony, did that ever work? Past that, I'm happy D-petey has some snarl along with a 6'3 frame, we need that! One of the reasons I smiled when I saw Soucy is 6'5, He will definitely help our cause this year! Willander, I was on the fence about him until I did some further investigation, and then it seemed like a good pick. Not complaining at all, now if we can just hit a good mix of skill and grit, we'll do ok, and speaking of that, good to see the Lafferty signing helping toughen us up too! Actually I thought AL would be all in on a creampuff team when he arrived but seems like management saw what a soft team is in for during the post season, nowhere, just like it always has.

What you didn't like Willy D and his laughable circus??? And Green as well? Lmao! Yeah it's hard to develop when your trying to win games on the backs of over used vets ridden into the ground and then throw in raw recruits when they get injured and ruin or at least slow down their development... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Smashian Kassian Posted October 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2023 Willander is a legit stud, look at the speed of his hands on the assist, for a guy thought of as a DFD throughout most of last year his puck skills have really stood out. He's got legit skill on top of the defensive game + skating & it was on full display with his work tonight. If he reaches his potential these are the kind of defenseman that are never available via trade or UFA, and with his work ethic I like his chances of getting there. 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
