No reason at all to claim him and we already have our backs against the wall with the contract limit

 

[Flybynite]

Another center to make sure Frost doesn't have to be called up

 

[DayoftheGreek]

Quick, someone find the Hayes connection.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Could be worse, they will proclaim.

He’s got potential and is an absolute truck. I hate this as a Penguins fan.

Vancouver is awful at development.

I CANT FIND ONE, HE’S FROM PEI

 

[pooch]

Are there more injuries I dont know about?

I thought so too but Capfriendly still had us at 49 so I don’t get it

He has the third most PM/TOI last season and we had the second worst PK percentage. He's not a good add for us.

He wasn’t very good in a COVID season. He was great the year prior and once again is built like a truck. Could easily see him carving out a role as a 10-10 guy that frustrates the f*** out of teams.

I posted this on the Main Board, but for those who may not go there:

My Philly friends, you’re going to love Zach. I really hope your coaching staff handle him better than the Canucks did. Hits anything in sight, doesn’t take stupid penalties and will take on anyone to defend a teammate

Also has some skill as well when given the chance. An ideal 4th liner imho. Best of luck to him.

Yay, another pointless player, this guy is seriously a less skilled tanner glass lol great job flyers

He does take stupid penalties. Alot of them

 

[Striiker]

Canucks fans seem to be unhappy with this and the way he was used there. Apparently their staff tried to get him to be a goon but the fans think he had the skill to be something better.

Unfortunately I assume he’ll be here for the same kind of anti-offense toughness/goonery, so even if there’s a tiny chance of him being an actual hockey player, he’ll never become that with this staff.

High-care guy. Just say that. It’s the only thing they know to do.

Why?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Posted in the GDT, he's not a 4th line plug.

He has decent skill, but could be a AAAA type.

Not sure why fought so much in 2021. He's not really that type of player. Or, maybe more accurately, he could have value if he was not used as a fighter.

The Canucks were in just as much chaos as we were last year so he probably thought he had to

Please waive Nate to make room.

We have a similar but much better player in Aube-Kubel

 

[SR1919]

Can’t wait to read the negative overreactions on this one.

 

[Ginger Papa]

With all due respect, I watched him play every game the last 2 seasons. He was miscast by Travis Green as a fighter when he’s best deployed as a physical, energy player who can chip in with a hard forecheck. I don’t see Zach as lacking self discipline & taking many bad penalties. If you do, then we simply disagree.

So this bum is slightly better than the last one ??


I will take it !!!

Aube-Kubel and MacEwen are very different size wise. MacEwen has a lot of potential that was completely dunked on by Vancouver.
