Canucks sign Fitzpatrick

[jbyun04 7]

On the Score Ticker, Canucks signed Rory Fitzpatrick from the Sabres to a 1 year deal. No financial terms disclosed.

I don't understand why we signed him... I thought we added Tremblay for depth. Hope we signed him for league minimum because watching him during the playoffs I wasn't impressed at all, he took a lot of penalties at the worst possible times

I mean

Fitzpatrick -19 on Buffalo. Is that even possible?

6th D-man I think, although he might sub in and out, sportsnet quoted it as being a one-way deal so he will get a spot... much to my discomfort

Thanks for the encouragment! <_<

I honestly dont know if i've ever heard of Fitzpatrick... will he take Brookbanks spot? or what?

I'm thinking the Nucks, might have a weaker D-Crew next year..and losing jovo is not making them a whole lot weaker

on that note Krajicek signed with the Canucks as well

I guess they might be having doubts that bourdon will make the team....

Ohlund Salo

Mitchell Krajicek

Bieksa

Tremblay Fitzpatrick Bourdon?

that gives us 8 D men for 6 spots(maybe 7 some nights)

I'm sure Salo will get injured as usual. He's had, what, maybe 2 reasonably healthy years in his whole career?

I'm pretty sure Bourdon has a spot on the team...

I'd rather have him then Fitzpatrick for sure, and i'm not sure about Tremblay but probably.
