I agree, I like this pick up for the Canucks as well. He is still young so hopefully he turns it around,

He has really good hands, but lazy and injury prone. Hopefully he will stop slacking off here!

Wellwood is a decent pickup if he gets off his lazy ass and stays in shape. Otherwise it will just be another one of our 1 million per year investments that goes no where. Of course this is slightly different. This guy has more potential then lets say the Marc Chouinard or Bulis experiment. But considering our situation rite now and the price of this guy I don't mind it so much.

well i read in the province that alex auld!!! might be coming back to vancouver to back up luongo as the canucks havent offered sandford a new contract. alex played awesome last year in boston and i think alain would be comfortable enough to let alex play 15-20 games so bobby lu doesnt gas out like he did last year. and wellwood was a good pick up. he's injury prone but has potential. 2 years ago i think he had 42 points in 50 games or something like that so the talent is there. and i think he's gonna be motivated to get back into shape to show up th leafs!!!

eh i thought auldy was pretty decent, if he'd sign for cheap let him back up bobby.
as for wellwood. def a good pick up if he gets back into shape for upcoming season. a bit a gut considering he plays professional sports.

He was asked by a reporter once why he doesn't keep in shape, his response, "Gretzky never lifted weights". Difference was that Gretzky had far more talent and at least trained cardio. That to me just shows a lack of dedication, I hope being waived by TO wakes him up and he changes his ways.

wellwood has cronic hernia injuries and broke his foot 4 months ago in a non-hockey accident. lets see if he ACTUALLY sticks to his word and works hard here. i posted earlier about canucks passing on a bchl player to pick up suave. his name is zalc dalpe. http://nhlentrydraft2008.com/feature...&playerID=1016 | |

mm..im undecided on wellwood, with the canucks it could be a reclamation project..but if he doesnt hit the gym and get determined to be in good shape, then why the fuck would we even want to keep him around? It could be a good move because it's cheap but it could also blow up and become a problem
either way i think he will be a decent morrison replacement, he has more upsides, is younger, supposidly a better passer, and a better face off percentage
but i guess we'll have to wait to see
and wtf is going on with Kesler? i really think we need to move him up into a bigger role within the team

^ once you claim him to keep his rights you need to "qualify" the offer or somthing, which consists of adding X amount of dollars onto the contract, in this case i think he was getting paied 950,000 last year, in order to qualify the Canucks had to add 50,000 onto the deal, half of which is already picked up by the leafs?
thats as much as i can explain, i think its somthing like that too lazy to search

How many games did he play during the two seasons? Either he's a very clean player or he's just lazy and doesn't have any aggression to battle for the puck. Which one is it D:

107 games played, and no penalties at all.
I don't really follow nhl player statistics, but is this a normal thing or should
most players at least have some penalties here and there?

his point totals were pretty decent (relative to the rest of the canucks at least). so he either managed to produce with minimal ice time or was able to do the same and stay clean with more ice time. win/win! ..if only it were that simple..
