Can't find his game by game stats but I believe he started off the year slow with something like 3 pts in his first 10 games IIRC. That gives him something like 21 pts in his last 24 gp which is encouraging.
EDIT: Ok found his stats. In 2016, he has 7g 13a 20pts in 16 games. That is real good for a freshman and mid-round pick.
I'm not against acquiring Jank. I'm worried they'll blow significant asset to acquire him.

Any good FA goalies from Europe or the NCAA this year? I was going to say the Canucks might as well sign Cam Johnson while they're at it but I think he's just a sophomore still.
Either way, we need to get more goalies in the system. I think Cannata has maxed out as a solid, if unspectacular AHL goalie and the only other one we have is Demko. I don't count Bachman as a prospect.

You doubting that the Canucks will sign Demko this offseason? Even if he doesn't get signed there's not a lot of room in the AHL with Bachman having a year left on his contract and Cannata playing like he deserves an extension. Maybe they can find a taker for Bachman though.
The Canucks are rumoured to be interested in Alex Lyon out of Yale. Sami Rajaniemi has put up good numbers in the SM-Liiga the past few seasons and his contract is up at the end of this season. Both are '92 born though, so they're older prospects.
Hopefully they can get a decent goalie in the draft, I don't like going more than a year without picking up a goalie.
Cannata may surprise if he's ever given the chance to carry the load. He was undefeated in regulation in February. He was outright stellar against the league's best shutting out Toronto last night. He keeps being rotated this season while being the better keeper and the past two seasons was, for obvious reasons, not given the job. Whenever pressed into carrying the load, he has been very good with the exception of early in his rookie season in Utica. They keep bringing in a new guy and labeling him #1. Bachman was labeled as such upon his acquisition this past season and has not lived up to the billing and Cannata has outplayed him and now deserves to be handed the reins to show what he can do, but Green has steadfastly rotated them even when one obviously has the hot hand and that has been Cannata much more often. To win, this Comets team has to have good goal tending and he is producing it big time of late. In spite of their total, all out effort, they do give up great chances.

If not signed he is a free agent on August 15
Dane Fox scored 4 goals tonight.

Dane Fox should be in the AHL imo. Or at least given a chance.
I agree. He was an elite scorer in junior. He's an elite scorer in the ECHL. He deserves a crack at the AHL. Gillis signed him for a reason, but now he's being completely wasted.

I doubt he skates well enough for Benning to be seen as having any chance at the NHL and is therefore irrelevant.
Still would be nice to see him get a decent AHL try out.
Fox was the fastest Kzoo skater over the weekend. I also noticed Fox’s slick stick handling (mostly evident Saturday night). With his increased speed Fox was easily weaving in and out of Elmira players.
