theminister Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 How long before KotES starts a thread about how the Canucks can't win with this D because we have no #1 d-man? Over-under... 2 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombieksa Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 So... Hamhuis-Beiksa Edler-Garrison Ballard-Tanev Than next year... Hamhuis-Bieksa Edler-Corrado Garrsion-Tanev? My guess anyways... you can pay a ton for your D, but you have to have somebody being paid less. bye ballard... A shame it didn't work out.

WestCoastCanucks Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Great deal. Clearly took less to stay. I love the mentatility our players have. We're very lucky to have these guys constantly re-signing at less than market value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollumpus Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 5 Million is an absolute steal but people will complain about this deal later on, similar to how people have hated Luongo's contract if he slows down after a couple of seasons. 6 years is a great time-frame though considering he'll probably hit his prime next season or the year after that. As for the Cap, WTF is Gillis gonna do now? Last time I checked we were about 2 or 3 million just under the cap, now with Edler's extra dollars we'll be right up against it with no room to sign an essential center. I love how Gillis has invested so much of our cap in defence, our top-4 is now solidified for the next few seasons and defence does win championships, but we are quite imbalanced now and lacking centers badly. Not sure what's more important to win a Cup - a good defence or depth at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miked1101 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Good questions, but I think they are answerable. Assuming Luongo is traded, that's Edler's contract with some left over. With a few other guys gone after this season, the Canucks can still ice a solid team with raises where they are due. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfxHaley Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You gotta believe that GMMG has got some sort of plan, and that he and his team know their cap situation better than anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
