Hopefully the Canucks sign him and give him a chance on the squad. He definitely would bring in entertainment.

I'll miss watching Duco. Hopefully he gets a shot with the Canucks. He's a fun player to watch.

Panthers will better have yonkman up or Bradley will be very busy without any help.

Duco isnt a heavyweight but runs arround and starts a lof of trouble. He also trys to finish it most of the time.

hes a small middleweight but has a huge heart and is some what exciting in the little playing time he had. hope he sees some games, you always want a guy like this to get paid for his hard work and what he brings.

I liked watching Duco with Rochester. I hope he gets a shot at playing some time in Vancouver, they could use his style of play.

At least the Nucks added someone with more than 2 fights in a season to their system. Bet he starts in St. John's though.

Hilarious. Shirokov is the next Grabner. Guys who were buried by Vancouver depth and wanted out. He has a good opportunity to get a scoring role with Florida if he stays in North America.

He's got the "crazy" element to him, so I like it. He could be fun to watch, and it seems he is a decent player.

Been reading up on this, apparently Deboer said, Duco can be the next Sean Avery, but with a little more fight. So, it seems the Nucks got another yapper. WooHoo!!!!!!

St John's is owned by True North which also own the Jets, they are making their affiliate St John's, Atlanta's old affiliate (Chicago) will be where he would go.
