Is Ryan Harrison our new Rypien?


Well one of the things with this years playoff run was that the Canucks were getting pushed around a lot, especially by Boston. We didn't have a fighter.We have Lappierre a taunter, had Torres a hitter,and Glass who really didn't do anything. Bieksa fought, but you don't want one of you best defense men always getting into fights. So where's our fighter well according to The Hockey News the Canucks have invited Ryan Harrison to camp, never heard of him yeah me neither before he got invited but what got me interested was that he  does have a lot of resemblances to Rick Rypien just look at his stats

                                        Regular Season                                  
  Season  Team                    Lge     GP      G       A       Pts     PIM     +/-     
2008-09 Prince Albert Raiders   WHL     62      14      21      35      112     -18     
2009-10 Prince Albert Raiders   WHL     72      14      40      54      136     -5      
2010-11 Medicine Hat Tigers     WHL     40      13      20      33      47      10      
2010-11 Everett Silvertips      WHL     29      8       11      19      55      -2      
 

 and then you look at Rypien's stats as a junior 
 
                                        Regular Season                                  
Season    Team                    Lge     GP      G       A       Pts     PIM     +/-

 
2001-02  Regina Pats            WHL      1      0       0       0       0         0
2002-03  Regina Pats            WHL      50     6       12      18      159      -5
2003-04  Regina Pats            WHL      65     19      26      45      186      -23
2004-05  Regina Pats            WHL      63     22      29      51      148      -34
 

I'm not saying this guy is going to become exactly like Rypien like the way that Rypien could fight guys  
double his size like Hal Gill but I am saying if he does good in camp the Canucks 
should at least give him a chance.
