Uh...reinforcement for Abby?

 

[Vector]

I know nothing about him. Has no stats worth discussing. Not much size. Right-shot. He’s 24 years old.

 

[VanillaCoke]

huge if true

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Someone get Ja so I know how to feel.

 

[arttk]

Tell me how to feel. I’ll feel how we you want me to

 

[LemonSauceD]

Bah gawd did we just sign the next Chris Tanev!!!?!!!!!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Came to Canucks’ Development Camp last summer, and lead his team in blocked shots this season and last season.

Canucks clearly see something they like, and our track record with college free agents has produced some gems. The stats don’t leap out, but hopefully he can show us something surprising.

[wonton15]

He looks old enough to captain the Canucks

 

[rea]

Looks like he should be on shameless

Ahl depth

Hard to see much upside here. Must have impressed at development camp. Reminds me that they had another local invite in Fitzgerald who some were hign on and wanted to see him signed in the future. Think he had more college years ahead and wonder if anyone is following him.

Who dawg?

 

[VanJack]

Have to defer to the Canucks amateur scouts on this one......Felton is already 24 and his stats at Merrimack were miniscule. And at 6'1", 190, he's hardly a bruiser.

But since the arrival of Allvin, the Canucks have been one of the most active franchises in the league in signing NCAA players. Last year is was Sasson, McWard, McDonough and Hirose. So I suspect the Canucks aren't done this season.

And I guess a one-year ELC for a guy like Felton carries with it minimal risk. He'll be given a shot in Abbotsford, but the blueline down there is already looking a little jammed for next season.

Looks like he's a defensive Dman.

When you say our college track record and gems, who are you referring to? Tanev and Stecher? Anyone else?

AHL signing.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Probably a career AHLer but who knows. We've had pretty solid luck finding undrafted gems. Certainly doesn't hurt giving the kid a shot.
