Landon Ferraro

Yeah.

So what I mean, as we've talked around this the whole way, to me, it's it's a situation of are we going to give them that legit chance here?

or do we just need to find a different situation?

On top of just looking at it from the Canucks side of, why do we want to deal with this whole conversation again if we don't think he can do it?

But yeah, you move on because maybe the next guy can.

It might be the same results, but the eye test looks better to whoever's in charge.

Again, to me, I think looking at him and looking at what the team's going to be, he needs the first half of the year to know that he's going to be in the lineup as long as he's healthy, that he's going to get that runway.

And I feel like from the Canucks side, you need to give him that runway because...

I mean, let's be honest.

With a guy like Lekker Mackey, with his skill set and body and frame, he's either going to figure it out how to score at the NHL level or he's going to play in Switzerland or Sweden or the Russia.

Yeah.

Right?

Like, it is what it is because he'll easily go be able to play there and score.

But, of course, the goal is to be able to do that here from both sides.

The player wants to do it and, of course, the team wants him to step up and be able to do that.

But for him, he can make the play out of pressure.

He sees the ice well.

He can do all of that.

The part of the game that he still hasn't figured out at the NHL level, and honestly to a degree at the American League level, is how to utilize his shot more.

He's got such a good release, and in a lot of ways, that's the only way he's going to play in the NHL.
