Questionable Roster Decisions Plague Canucks
October 14th, 2016 Last year, the Canucks were lambasted for exposing and losing a young player on the waiver wire. When general manager Jim Benning did the same thing on Wednesday, there was barely more than an eyebrow raised. On Wednesday, the Canucks announced that they were placing 24-year-old forward Emerson Etem on waivers. Benning decided to...

Emerson Etem Remains a Wild Card
September 20th, 2016 There's a second line void that needs to be filled. The Canucks must be wondering, who is going to step up? Bo Horvat and Sven Baertschi are good bets to do so, after coming on strong in the second half of the season. How about Jannik Hansen — how much will he produce if Eriksson presumably steals his spot on the top line? Can...
Poor Roster Management Undermining Rangers
January 25th, 2016 The New York Rangers have had several troubling trends manifest themselves this season, including poor defensive zone coverage, a woeful penalty kill, and a lack of mental toughness.

Emerson Etem Trade Gives Canucks a New Gear
January 11th, 2016 The Emerson Etem experiment didn't turn out the way they had hoped it would in New York (to much surprise) and thus Etem finds himself on his third NHL team in his young career.

Writing Was On The Wall For Jensen
January 9th, 2016 The writing was on the wall for Nicklas Jensen as far back as last season. In a somewhat unsurprising move from a Canucks standpoint, Vancouver traded 2011 first-round pick Jensen and a 2017 sixth-round selection to the New York Rangers for Emerson Etem. It's a trade that gives a fresh start for both former 29th overall picks (Etem...

Emerson Etem Needs a Bigger Role with the Rangers
November 23rd, 2015 Emerson Etem was part of the package that the New York Rangers received in the deal for winger Carl Hagelin.

At this...
