The rumor you guys were arguing about.

The farm is very weak right now but we should finally have some legit prospects in Utica next season.

I looked back at canuck's farm team success. If you consider making playoffs a sign of success then our farm teams, since 2000, have make playoff appearances 11 or 12 times out of the last 17 seasons.

I think generally speaking, our farm teams haven't been a problem in comparison to other AHL affiliates.

I feel like I say that every year as I was expecting names like Virtanen, McCann, Boeser, Goldobin, Dahlen, Tryamkin, Stecher, Hutton etc. to all be there even if only for small stints and we ended up with only Goldobin and Jake.

true....hopefully next year they have Dahlen, Gadj and Lind. Juolevi and Gaudette are question marks. I think Petterson plays in Van.

I still don’t get why this guy is even relevant and how he has such a following lol. He’s just a fan.

Will Pouliot, Stetcher, Virtanen and Goldobin clear waivers?

Canucks defense would be a mess without Tanev so it’d take an overpayment.

Edler isn’t getting any younger/better and the other vet dmen have played like trash.

i guess that's fine if you think he re-signs.

if he wants out, you probably get 3 good pieces this year.

next year's tdl return will probably be a 1st, conditional 2nd and a josh leivo type 'prospect'.

Tanbir There you have it Retinalz - Lefty is full of sh!t

They are a team that should offer big for Tanev IMO. Foote + 1st for Tanev and they will be the big favorites to win it all.
- Retinalz

I'm not really high on foote but they do have lots of interesting prospects as well, both Howden and Hajek look really good too.

I think his value will still be high next year, it’s usually during the last year where the value dips most.

I’d prefer to keep him, this defense will suck even more without him and the team will too, the young forwards will be handicapped by a sh!t defense

ahhh. my mistake. thought he had 2 years left.

agreed.

I meant our legit prospect depth is weak in Utica...not necessarily the team. They have some big salaries on the farm

Meh, I honestly don’t think he’d much different than our other young dmen on the roster. Guess it woulda saved trading for DP though.
- Nucker101

I think his shot alone is an upgrade on any of our D.

Note to self. Have a absolute millenial temper tantrum at the canucks summer summit Q&A and become a reliable source for canuck rumors

- CanuckDon

It's impossible according to some that prospects are able to step right in. That's not developing. NHL isn't a developing league Donna. Gaudette and OJ the same, they have no experience, so they can't play in the NHL.

(frank) Donna, get it right next time. Geezzz Louise. For Pete's sake. Holy Susan.

ahhh. my mistake. thought he had 2 years left.

Edler’s in that boat. Wouldn’t be surprised if his name starts to come up a lot more at the draft and during the 18/19 season.

Farm team's success isn't based off of making the playoffs, it's in producing players and our hasn't done that since the moose were around.

This.

Our AHL teams have always had solid vets, but not many actual legit prospects.

true....hopefully next year they have Dahlen, Gadj and Lind. Juolevi and Gaudette are question marks. I think Petterson plays in Van.
- CanuckDon

I think Pettersson will get a chance but my guess is Gaudette plays more games in the NHL next year.

I think his shot alone is an upgrade on any of our D.
- belcherbd

sure, but his defensive game is on par with Stetcher/Pouliot

Did you just assume that Cole Cassels isn't a legit prospect?

#canucks prospect Elias Pettersson with 1A today. He now has 42 PTS (15-26-42) in 34 SHL games


Kid just continues to put up points!

So that really was him?

He came off as an angry fat drunk slob

Guy should spend more time in the gym than on Twitter

Demko and Virtanen crack the first round.
- manvanfan

So does tryamkin...can't wait for that kid to come back

i'm guessing you guys get a thomas kaberle like return for edler next year.
