Gstank29 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 So does this make him our 7th/8th defenceman for next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Sorry bud calling BS on this If ti didn't come from Vintage it isn't true. Can we get some confirmation from an insider please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Very pleased with this. He has forced himself onto this team and couldn't be happier for the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume we move away from Weber, or Weber becomes our 8th D. Then again, if we find another upgrade for the right side, Biega could still be pushed down the depth chart. 2 minutes ago, Warhippy said: Sorry bud calling BS on this If ti didn't come from Vintage it isn't true.

Yeah, I don't see much further he can improve. Maybe a little more offence and slightly steadier on D, but he's not going to develop significantly from here I'd guess.

elvis15 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yeah, I didn't think he'd want to go back to the possibility of significant time in the AHL at a reduced salary. He'll save a pretty penny knowing he might be around a little shorter career than the top guys, but hopefully he can stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-ote' Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Gotta Give Ferraro credit, he called this last year. Late bloomer and paid his Dues. Bigs deserves this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how Weber would be resigned after this season. I'll be surprised if he gets on any NHL roster for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Prophet Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm so happy about this news, the guy deserves ever dollar of that contract! Just an old school, no nonsense type of defenceman. Perfect depth guy for us moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope Biega doesn't end up replacing Weber if the hearts of CDC posters (ie let's hope the Weber hate never transfers over to Biega.) It's nice to see Biega's hard work pay off. 14 minutes ago, Gstank29 said: So does this make him our 7th/8th defenceman for next year? Imo somewhere from 6th to 8th before injuries, which is what fits the contract he signed. It's a good contract for both sides imo. Biega gets his 1-way and the team signs a responsible depth defenceman who plays the way the team wants and will try to do what is necessary, be it taking on bigger players physically, being hard on the puck and making smart plays. In the event he has a down season next season, his salary can be buried without the Canucks having to absorb some of the cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
