Speculation: Canucks & UFA College players (Aug 15)
- Thread starter Nucker42
- Start date
Robert Mastrosimone
Highly skilled left winger drafted in the 2nd in 2019.
John Farinacci
Two way centerman. One of those players that stood out for me for Team USA in the 2021 world juniors
Couple of guys I’d be interested in. No one else is remotely that intriguing.

Yep.....looks like a couple of guys who'd sign with the Devils or Philly.......hard to imagine a kid who spends four years in college and works his way all the way to free agency, would be interested in coming all the way out West to play for the Canucks farm team.
Not a fan of Mastrosimone. Pass.
Farinacci I liked in his draft year. Character guy type. Injuries may have impacted his development but he never really stood out. Overall, I'm not sure there's enough offense there. Probably not worth an ELC.
Farinacci signs with Boston. No surprise really. B's need prospects with dealing picks for Fowler, Orlov, and Bertuzzi the past 2 TDLs.
right.. not sure why I wrote Fowler over Lindholm. Probably cause Fowler is American....
Picked the wrong Duck. Guess I lean more Americans over Swedes when I think of the Bruins.
Canucks were active in scooping up a couple of the the most promising NCAA d-men in Hirose and MicWard......and added a center with some upside in Sasson. That's a pretty impressive haul for one NHL team.
So I can't really see them adding anyone else, unless it's somebody on an AHL-only contract for organizational depth.

46 contract slots with no RFAs to sign.
In terms of the Canucks prospects in the NCAA, you're looking at the 2020 draft class that need to be signed by the end of the season or they lose their rights. No one from 2021 had a late birthday and was drafted as a freshman in college.
Kunz and Truscott are the 2 from 2020. Kunz, a LW with just 11 points in 55 games. So, barring a massive turnover offensively, unlikely to get a contract. Truscott is the one they need to sign.
Still leaves them 3 contracts to work with for the rest of the year.

Farinacci might be able to carve out a 4th line-bottom-six career. He's more intriguing.
Jay O'Brien is almost 24. Probably just pass. Same with Mastrosimone, I recall the scouting on him is that his skating is not great, which isn't ideal for a smaller player.
