Confirmed with Link: [VAN/TOR] Canucks acquire F Sam Lafferty for 2024 5th Round Pick

[Yultron]

Very good for the penalty kill

[LemonSauceD]

We need to claim Coghlan and Lavoie.

 

[andora]

Oh and we will like lafferty if he can get constant reminders from the coaches he isnt a scorer

Great utility and more refined than studnicka who just isnt good enough yet

 

[Melvin]

These people are even worse than the previous regime at just blindly acquiring every former penguin that becomes available. It’s tiresome.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Like...a 5th round pick rarely develops into an legit asset so getting a young player back isn't the worst thing to happen. Truth is this guy is what he is, another bottom 6 player.

However, one wonders if the asset (5th round pick) can be used to move a player out instead.

That’s a pretty lazy take

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

More picks for meh players.

Clearly they aren’t happy with some of the depth players.

I think 5th is too little to move out anyone that makes above 2m

Nor should they be

 

[krutovsdonut]

i guess studnicka ran out of gas.

surprised about wolanin. maybe just trying to clear him through waivers to keep options open and calling up hirose to make sure they use ltir? if not, they really hid that move well.

Calgary takes Vancouver
Vancouver takes Pittsburgh
Edmonton takes Toronto

 

[pitseleh]

12 goals and 27 points in 70 games last year.
That’s decent production at least and he does PK.

That’s just a function of his playing 14+ minutes/night on an awful Chicago team.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

What bothers me is that clearly they think Studnicka isn’t good enough for a bottom 6 role(which I totally agree)
But the they were the one who acquired him

are there any swedish former penguins?

 

[Breakers]

wouldve rather kept studnicka

would've rather kept Myrenberg

 

[Bubbles]

“Sea of Granlunds”

Death by a thousand cuts

More picks out the door for a guy that should be on waivers

Sooner or later, people are going to pick up on the fact they are executing the same plan as Benning, just with ex-Pens instead of ex-Bruins.

 

[TruGr1t]

I’ve been informed he was rosterable in fantasy last year if your league counts hits and blocked shots. High level intel.

 

[Three On Zero]

Karlsson

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

More Center depth isn’t bad - he’s fast, can PK and put up decent bottom six offensive numbers.

But I remain mystified at how we keep adding forwards and not blueliners, which is the critical need.

 

[andora]

He could be a slam dunk with blueger

 

[thefeebster]

I was not impressed with his play with the leafs in the playoffs. Imo, disappeared and was not a physical presence in their bottom 6.

Hope he’s better here…

 

[Vector]

With the moves today, so far, they still need to make a cut or two tomorrow.

 

[FroshaugFan2]

Bizarre
