  1. This injury really hurts, beagle has been very impressive so far, he is amazing on the pk, always clearing our net area playing tough and smart. Really hoping a speedy recovery for him.
  2. Unpin this thread, and let it sink to the deprhs of this forum, its annoying its dated and its actually starting to skew the good memories i have of burr. If whoever pinned this would get over their fan boy, fan girl nature. And let the fans decide how relevent this thread is, instead of one dilusional fan forcing their opinion over everyone else. /end thread
  3. This thread has deteriorated and out of control? Hell the guy was traded 2 years ago now he is retired. Time to let this memorial for Alex actually die.
  4. the sedins had their most even strength goals with eriksson as their partner? He had just 6 goals and 9 assists 5 on 5, how many of these points he accumulated with the sedins i dont know. But whatever points he actually accumulated with them was not enough. I dont blame WD for taking him off their line as the numbers speak for themselves. I know atleast watching them play together they looked pretty bad. In fact i think Erikkson brought their play down. Thats what makes me most angry with this signing.. a 6 million dollar player should make his linemates better. Not us looking at horvat or whoever to lift his game.. I hope they do put him back with the sedins though.. But if its futile again its time to accept we paid 6 million for a third liner who could not crack the top 6 on one of the worst teams in the NHL.
  5. omg stop hyping his two way game, people flock to that word two way game and completely ignore we can get a good two way player as him for under 2 mill. He was signed to put up offence with the sedins. Can we at least be honest that he choked in gelling with the sedins. They looked slow confused the cycling game was pretty horrible. He never lifted the team or was at all a difference maker. Your right to point out his overall season numbers are not bad but i look at his year by year numbers and other then a couple widely spaced out good seasons i dont see anything to be excited for by looking at them. He was a 70 point player in his prime 6 years ago.. his prime 6 years ago! where after consecutive 70 point seasons he signed a 6 year 4.25m deal. Had two good seasons then tailed off until his contract year and eeked in a decent season to cash in for 6/6 with us. I dont blame loui for the contract if he can sucker some gm to sign that death warrant then so be it. But i was hoping to see some self pride and him show some fight and heart and try and justify it to his new organization. His 5 on 5 play was weak. Hell 5 of those 11 goals he scored were on the powerplay. And if he turns it around as we expect he should is 6 mill for 5 more years for an aged vet, and the best our fan base hopes from him is 20 goals 40 points? If he accomplishes even that next year i still consider it horrible value. Even if we signed him for 3y/4.5m i still would not want him. We already have two soft past their prime swedes on our team we didnt need one more locked up at that value long term. So now he is basically a plug just some filler in our line up which we could of accomplished with 2-3 year deals with other players that dont hand cuff a team, similar to the rfa signings JB did this year. So ya hope he does better this year but everyone knows this year doesnt matter, this will haunt us in a couple more years when were trying to retain the talent were drafting and could quite possibly get in a cap situation where we lose a few up and comers cause were out of cash. This contract is an anchor to our rebuild and in a couple years when were competitive we will have a 6 million dollar third liner. Even our lineup now he and the sedins should be slotted on the third line now. I think im more pissed off the fact JB signed this joke of a contract, i think this year JB learned from his mistakes signed smarter deals. but we have 5 more years of this to stomach and i dont believe we will get our moneys worth in any of the next 5 years we see of him. And then on top of it come to this forum and everybody is like well he has a good 2 way game.. Or that veteran pressence.. For 6 million thats a joke
  6. i dont know why people os so quick to defend LE. He deserves the criticism, that contract is attrocious. People praise his 2 way game? We didn't need a 6 million dollar aging veteran for 5 more years for his two way game. He was brought in to bring offence which is insane as hes only scored over 30 goals twice.. his career numbers overall suck. Mark my words this guy will never even score 20 goals for us. And fans here give him a pass and make excuses for him and defend him? wake up people cause you should all be in a rage over this guy.
  7. Loui is a disaster.. so much money for a weak chump who really had one good year. We couldnt trade the guy for a 6th pick even if we retained salary.. like wow! canucks will be competitive in 5 years when that contract is over..
  8. if any contract needed performance bonuses his did. We didnt to stop being the swedish canucks this signing is trash. Horvat must look at this guy and say wow i cant wait till im UFA to get paid and get the eff out of this swedish country club.
  9. He has got loui eriksson numbers and played 4 games less and not garbage in the plus/minus department. Nor has a contract that rapes our team for years to come. Burr has always over performed for us, has signed for fair contracts and should retire a Canuck.
  10. I doubt that, im sure we never made him an offer or discussed having him back.
  11. Like eriksson this year @ 6m/6yrs? Id rather of signed vrbata for 2 or 2.5 mill a year. Safer contract less risk. Doesnt future destroy our cap for 6 yrs.. and keeps us free to sign real talent when good UFA's are available.
  12. Easily be a nice chip to move at the deadline? His contract is horrendous if a team offers us a 5th rounder to take that ball and chain off our books, DO IT!
