Utica Comets fans punching air right now

 

[Canuck Luck]

CANUCKS NON STOP LMAO
Let's sign everybody!

making up for previous years of leaving Utica bare. Cant do that now that its in Abbotsford

 

[Love]

Petan is a great AHL signing

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Well we cannot say Benning “just ran out of time”… been a busy day. Tons of depth/ ahl players.

 

[canucksfan]

This is probably the best I’ve felt about a forward group in a long time here. We have a great goalie too. I just wish we had an average dcore at least

Likely would be competing with Vegas if the defense was average. I actually think the Nucks have downgraded their defense from last year.

 

[VIPettersson]

Nic Petan is 26? since when. Dang time flies

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Petan is a big signing for Abbotsford. Star-level player at the AHL - could also be serviceable in injury relief a the pro level. But as a predominantly AHL move, that's big.

 

[Peen]

Ryan Johnson emptying the money clip wow

@Bad Goalie seeing RJ actually sign players for the farm after never doing it for Utica ->

 

[canuckking1]

I think we discussed this before but DZS% is overblown by fans. And a lot of good teams play their best lines against other best lines, that’s pretty much playoff hockey

I disagree with that notion. Around the league you won't find many top 6 C's that get around 37-39 O-zone starts. Horvat needs to be at 50/50.

 

[timw33]

Canucks actually taking care of the farm team is really encouraging.

Lots of BC guys are coming home to play locally instead of in upstate new york. Seems to be paying off really well already.

 

[tradervik]

The Canucks had fewer than 30 players signed to contracts prior to today so no surprise they are loading up (for Abbotsford).

 

[Ryp37]

Petans a good ole Delta boy, nice to see him brought in.

Not gonna hold my breath. Jimbo has been praising his acquired depth pieces every year lol.

 

[krutovsdonut]

is there an ahl salary cap?

 

[Superlative Soup]

16 mil left to sign Petey, Dickinson and Quinn

 

[Canucks LB]

Gotta say thanks Jim for not forgetting about Abby
Legit makes me happy

 

[clay]

Do the moves today signal that Jet Woo doesn't have a future on the team? Won't have a crack at the roster for at least 2 years based on the signings today.

f*** these assholes.

You can’t erase what happened or who you mistreated over the last 7 seasons.

 

[Canucks LB]

holy shit

I don't think so at all. Woo needs some seasoning in the minors anyway - and if there's one position we know unequivocally will run into injury issues as the seasons go on, it's the back end. He'll get chances.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

holy shit

Wow.

 

[canucksfan]

holy shit

Ugly

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

holy shit

Rip Avs
Also Rip MS

 

[WetcoastOrca]

[SeawaterOnIce]
