Zack is a better player than Jake and he has proven himself the one time he was in the playoffs. Jake may be more gifted but he doesn't want to go to the tough areas on a consistent basis. If he did we wouldn't think of trading him. He continually blazes down the wing and then either makes low percentage wrist shot at the goalie's crest or skates behind the net and out the other side eventually giving it away with a lame pass attempt

I'd like to see Ian Clark signed to a long term contract

Eriksson only had 3 hits all of last year. Anyone know how many hits Goldy had?

For the first time ever....I'm loving watching Ferland destroy the Canucks! We couldn' stop him! -
[Speculation] Lucic says he would like to play here
bassetgreg replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Really? all I've ever seen is Eriksson doing fly bys when the hit opportunity is obvious -
[Signing] Tyler Myers to Vancouver
bassetgreg replied to Rush17's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
He was a good defenseman for Ottawa before Boston signed him as a free agent when he was 29. Ottawa chose to let him go. Ottawa could only afford to keep one of him or Wade Redden. They chose Redden. Big mistake. But in reality, Chara became Great while playing for Boston after his 29th birthday -
[Report] Ben Hutton to become UFA
bassetgreg replied to BertaNuck's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
St Louis gave a 6th rounder for Del Zotto who is now a free agent. A good GM could have got a late pick from a playoff contender for Hutton. Hutton is better than Del Zotto -

Benning thinks Myers is the second coming of Chara. -
[Report] Ben Hutton to become UFA
bassetgreg replied to BertaNuck's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
You would think that since Del Zotto was traded to St louis for a 6th round pick...we could have got a 4th or a 5th for Hutton. I am not a fan of Benning. He should be a head scout rather than a GM -
[Trade] Colorado trades Soderberg to Arizona
bassetgreg replied to Philthy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Can we trade Benning and Weisbrod to Colorado for Sakic...Hell, I'd even throw in a conditional 2022 1st round pick and maybe a third rounder -
Tryamkin had his chance. I think he blew it. He didn't even make the Russian Olympic team. Remember the NHL players didn't go. Do you really think his game has improved in the KHL? I think his character could be in question as well. Remember his fitness issues and how he refused to do a short stint in the minors to improve his fitness. Didn't his KHL team revoke his Captaincy after only 2 months? When he was here his intensity seemed lacking. I think Tryamkin would be a 7th or 8th Defenceman at best but he could possibly fail to make the team

3 hits during an entire season. I didn't think that was possible. C'mon at least Lucic competes. -

Last year Lucic -9 Eriksson -11 Eriksson last 3 years 24,23 and 29 pts Lucic last 3 years 50,34 and 20 points Eriksson is not useful at all. Oh yes and Eriksson only had 3 hits last year....yes, only 3 https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/e/erikslo01.html Lucic 259 hits...big body hits https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/l/lucicmi01.html -
I disagree that he is injury prone. He played 82 games in the three years from 2013-2016 followed by 77 games and 71 the following two years. Its just the last 2 years he's had injuries. As to not making ottawa a contender. Hockey is a team game. Karlsson has always been an extremely prominent player in the Playoffs and in Regular season. You notice him every shift and you can't say that about many players. Oh yes...didn't Ottawa take the much more talented Pittsburgh to 2OT in game 7 of the Semi Finals in 2017. Karlsson was the most prominate player in that series and that Playoffs. One goal away from making the Finals is contending Remember Boston signing Chara as a free agent...good move and won Cup Remember Anaheim signing Scott Niedermayer as a free agent...good move and won Cup Free Agent All-Star defenseman are difference makers...more so than any other position I'm all for signing Karlsson

[Discussion] You Are the GM
bassetgreg replied to J.I.A.H.N's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Sign Karlsson. He is the only FA you notice everytime he is on the ice...even when playing hurt he stands out. Trades and drafts are out of my control. Depends on who falls to me in the draft and who is willing to give up something to get something. I wouldn't make a trade from weakness...for example Sutter's value is at an all time low so I wouldn't trade him unless its a good offer...which its unlikely to be. As for Eriksson...minors. Call him up only if he shows desire and intensity -
The Canucks need to bring in someone who can show Tryamkin how to fight. Then he will destroy a couple of guys. Then he will rarely need to fight again. He will be a presence to be avoided and the Canucks will no longer be a team that can be intimidated. Groot will just stare players down and say "Nyet"
