Just some depth?

Not really sure what this trade was meant for.

 

[NuxFan09]

Don't like trading away draft picks needlessly but Dalpe is a good young player and the Canucks needed to improve their center depth at the AHL level.

 

[TruKnyte]

Probably for Utica

 

[canuck4life16]

I guess player for the AHL and two young players too.....I think it worth it

 

[pahlsson]

we sure like giving out those midround draft picks

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Bleh, waste of a 4th round pick imo.

 

[NuxFan09]

Probably for Utica

Yep. Before the trade Hamill was really the only offensive centre the Canucks had at the AHL level. Dalpe will really help.

 

[timw33]

Interesting, I've always liked Dalpe, way more than Tockin (FA signing), that's for sure.

 

[Addison Rae]

Zach Dalpe was quite good in the AHL last year, don't mind this trade.

 

[keslerburrows]

I've always like Welsh.

 

[JerkChicken]

Utica's scoring punch is - in a word - poopy. (Yes...poopy)

Dalpe has been a consistent scorer in the AHL over the past 3 seasons. I think this is purely a move to give The Comets some help.

 

[DennisReynolds]

Dalpe had pretty good numbers in the AHL for some reason.

 

[jrlp]

In before 'fodder'!

Oh wait.

 

[arsmaster*]

A pick for waiver fodder. Not sure what to think. Both have played in the NHL but can't say either improve this team.

Don't like moving picks to improve the farm.

 

[Royal Canuck]

Dalpe is a solid AHL scorer, should accompany Hamill on the 1st line well.

 

[member 105785]

Dalpe is a decent prospect

 

[Wetcoaster]

Dalpe is a 23 year old centre and played in the BCJHL with Penticton. 6' 1" 195 lbs, shoots right. 2ND ROUND (45TH OVERALL), 2008

Talent Analysis

A fine offensive talent, Dalpe has done enough to impress management with his scoring ability. He is an excellent playmaker who has the uncanny ability to shoot just as well as pass, making for a deceptive forward who is sure to rack up points in whatever league he plays in.


Future

Dalpe will most likely serve as the Carolina Checkers’ top offensive winger next season but has a chance to make the Hurricanes bottom six due to a lack of scoring options.​

[King of Anarchy]

Bleh, waste of a 4th round pick imo.

Especially when Calgary just traded theirs for Joe Colborne.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Decent deal, Dalpe still has some potential to be an NHLer. And atleast this offers the farm club some offence.

Don't mind it.

 

[NuxFan09]

Dalpe is a solid AHL scorer, should accompany Hamill on the 1st line well.

I think the Comets will need him on a different line. Hamill and Dalpe will likely be the top 2 centres.

 

[canuck4life16]

two young prospect for a pick and a player that would not player for us is worth it.....it a minor deal but improve our prospect pool?
