oldnews Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yup. But even if he had been signed, I'm not 100% sure that he would have made as much difference as some folks like to believe. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Gillis offered Christian the same 22 point Bieksa contract and he asked to be paid more. Ehrhoff stated he wanted to stay here but nobody wants to get hosed and their nose rubbed with Gillis ultimatums. As a fifty point producer anchoring the #1 PP in the league the basis of his request was fair. Gillis refused to pay him his worth and immediately cut him loose,which tells the story. The Gillis press machine was grounded to a thud today over in the Hodgson camp. One would think those that ate all the .org spin would be not spewing the Gillis press machine ancedotes on a day such as this: I’m no detective, but it would appear contract negotiations between the Vancouver Canucks and defenseman Christian Ehrhoff aren’t going so well. My first clue? After Ehrhoff flatly rejected a similar offer to the five year, $4.6 million deal Kevin Bieksa agreed to the day prior, the Canucks traded him to the New York Islanders. http://vansunsportsblogs.com/2011/06/29/call-christian-ehrhoff-and-the-canucks-may-not-be-going-so-well/ What is noteworthy is that Gillis never utilised the asset when he had no intentions to pay him what he was worth to begin with. We need more Gillis/Booth ,Ballard,Luongo and Sundin contracts like a hole in the head but for crying out loud,Gillis has relegated the highest scoring,best team in the league into glorified muckers in just two years time. From first to bottom third in the league takes some doing but you do it well,Mike.Now wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckBoss Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 im still pretty chocked that we let Erhoff walk mainly because of Edler and Erhoff chemistry, it was something up and coming our one, two punch combo and i felt like they were just heating up and then you have Hammer and Juice building there own solid chemistry who ever saying we couldnt afford him is in denial his cap hit is 4mill, peanuts in todays cap world for a D like him i felt like after the cup run, signing Erhoff and Raffi was a no brainer out gm'd?

Dragonfruits Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 people forget about that 10 years attached to that 4 million cap and even that 4 million cap for a glorified offensive defenseman who's stats were inflated by the Sedins best years people also forget that the guy can barely play defense isn't physical at all he can put up points that's it and that's a 3-4 million defenseman at best its not the fault of Gillis that he got greedy and was looking for a payday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Uhh Bieksa and Edler are very mobile defensemen. Hamhuis is struggling but when he is on he can move the puck very well as well. Tanev is making even bigger strides this season taking control of the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Actually, I think most of our d-men one to six can move the puck pretty effectively. Ehrhoff was awesome because he was so damn fast. Our defense is fine, we need a top-six forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
