Confirmed Trade: [CHI/VAN] Jason Dickinson and 2024 2nd round pick for Riley Stillman

[biturbo19]

Fair enough - just makes one wonder as to why he couldn't play like this in Vancouver (although like you said, it's a small sample size as of this writing). Dickinson had both Green and Boudreau to play under as well.

Yeah. I don't know. It's one of those questions that you have to ask though. Why can't Vancouver get the most out of a guy like Dickinson? Just kind of goes into the melting pot with all the other questions about the team attitude/culture/deployment of players, etc. Why is the Special Teams continually so abysmal across multiple coaches, with personnel who should be plenty capable? It's...weird.

Maybe, but Adam Gaudette also got off to a reasonably good start in Chicago as well and look how that panned out.

How does the Canuck training staff not take heat for letting him play through the pain last season only to discover his hand was broken?
No thought to X-ray it? Way to waste an asset.

Off to a good start in Chicago it seems. Guess it was just a bad fit in Vancouver

Good for Dickinson. He needed out of here tho, not sure what happened in Van but he was completely invisible under both coaches

Gaudette didn't play for the Canucks last season there chief. :-p

Chief?
I was referencing Dickinson there clown.

He told Chicago folks he felt good. Vancouver trainers treated him most of last year for an injured hand but never X-rayed it or rested it.
After the season HE had it x-rayed and learned it was broken.
He says it effected his shot, stick handle and board scum play. He’s healthy now and playing like he did prior to Canuck debacle.
(Notice he was a good player pre Vancouver and a good player post Vancouver.)

Perhaps it's just me, but I'm pretty sure that 99.7% of the population would have assumed that you were referring to Gaudette with your use of 'him.' I could be wrong though, who knows.

Yeah. That was either a misquote, or a poorly explained addendum to that post.

But the point does still stand. Dickinson playing through a busted hand doesn't fully explain things away, but it can't have helped. It also lends itself to the question, "what is going on in Vancouver???" There's so much weird drama that shouldn't be a thing, especially with depth players like Dickinson where it should just be smooth sailing, "steady as she goes" low maintenance fare.

Any way you want it except Gaudette was pretty insignificant in Chicago as well.
The guy belongs in Europe.

And back to my question. I wander if it was noted in the Vancouver press that the training staff misdiagnosed a broken hand? The guy is a good bottom 6er. A few weeks in a cast and the nucks would have a good player.

Dickinson playing with a busted hand is absolutely crazy if true. Heads need to roll in Vancouver if that is what happened.

You don't use dark mode? What the hell, bro.

Want Chase Stillman? you could get him for a late round pick! Imagine going from the Sedin twins to the Sillman brothers!

 

[The Red Line]

Hmmm...

3 game sample size, good call out. Yes, a nice start. But now you better bet I'm gonna call this comment out when he inevitably slows down.

He'll slow down from this current pace, that is inevitable.

But it seems fairly clear he is still the useful 3rd line player who will put up 20-30 points that he was in Dallas.

Done

 

[GirardSpinorama]

would not be surprised if Chicago can turn him into a good TDL asset this year or next. centers are pretty much always useful.

Fantastic? Never said he wouldn't.

I still think realistically, he's a Winger...who can play Center. But i agree with your sentiment there. For teams at the deadline, a defensively responsible bottom-6 winger with speed and decent size, who can slide into the middle if/when injuries hit, is absolutely useful. Being comfortable at basically any position up front is utility and flexibility that good, deep teams usually appreciate.

at this pt, how is it surprising?

players’ injuries our medical staff have been called out for mishandling: kesler, mason raymond, hodgson, tanev, boeser, petey, jett woo… probably forgetting a bunch of others….

all time organizational poor judgment mistakes my child wouldn’t have made on ferland and the letting the whole team give each other covid….

former canucks director of sports medicine rick celebrini sltered the hall of fame careers of both kevin durant and klay thompson with poor judgment calls….

In retrospect, I am glad that this kick occurred since the selfish actions of these two caused covid to spread within our lockerroom during the 2020-2021 season.

If all of this is true, then the hate that Francesco is currently receiving from the fans is well deserved and justified.

MS-DOS was the original dark mode. Dark mode is actually a return to tradition. These bright UIs are an eyesore.

I'm not sure it's even really a "generational" thing. Lots of people round abouts my age use "dark theme" everything. And there were plenty of really ugly "dark background" things from that era. From forums to Myspace to whatever.

I find it kind of weird though. I never use "dark mode" for forums or anything like that. Anything text-related really. But i absolutely despise that there's no functinal "dark mode" for a bunch of the graphic-oriented software i use every day. Just kills my eyes.

Idk if it's just because i grew up reading books, on paper. And just got used to seeing words written that way. Black on a white background? Or if it's just something about the strain of staring at tiny details against a stark white background for hours on end. But whatever it is...Team hfboards Light Theme.
