Pretty decent AHL numbers

Looks like he's taking over the 4th line RW job since Oreskovich was put on waivers.

Yea not bad in the AHL, he could make around 40 points a season if he is called up and depending who is is playing with.

Yeah really impressive that he put up 38 points in 47 games last season in the AHL and he's only 23. He will be playing with Lapierre and Volpatti for now on the 4th line, but he's still a prospect and seems to have an offensive game so maybe he could develop into a 2nd or 3rd liner. I'm really happy with this since Oreskovich is 25 and seems to be really inconsistant and he quit hockey for two years before being convinced to come back by his former coach, says a lot about his passion for the game.

Yeah it sucks too because he has all the tools to become a top 6 guy, speed, size, grit, hands. He just doesn't seem to give his 100% most of the time.

Anyways I can't wait to see how Weise plays because apparently the Canucks have been trying to acquire him since last year, awesome that they got him free off waivers.

When Pinnizotto and Bitz get healthy the Canucks will have so many choices for 4th line wingers.
Mancari, Bitz, Pinnizotto, Weise, Duco, Volpatti, Oreskovich, etc... Also gonna be interesting to see how the 4th line looks when Raymond and Kesler get back.
