Gudbranson and Eriksson are huge improvements in this team's weakest spots. Edited July 1, 2016 by Teemu Selänne 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Great job, he's a solid competitor in every area. Going to be a good vet even in his later years because if intagibles and ability to play a bottom 6 role if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kragar Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Today is VC's Ironman competition. I'd copy him on this, but I don't want to distract him from his labors! Not a huge Loui fan here, but we'll see what he can bring. We do need the goals, that's for sure. Do us proud, JB (and VC!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysACanuckFan Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Exciting news! Good job on Benning getting the deal done. Eriksson is going to be a great fit with the Sedins. That's going to be one sick line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I like Loui but that term will be an anchor in 3-4 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) 1-2 years longer than I would have preferred but that's probably the difference between signing him or not so... Welcome to Van Loui! Edited July 1, 2016 by J.R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Loui would have lead this team in both goals and points last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sean Monahan Posted July 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2016 To those moaning about the term- it doesn't matter what you "would've liked". Six years is likely what was required to sign the deal, and we kinda needed a guy like this. I bet he ages a hell of a lot better than Looch anyway. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) The Canucks might be handcuffed by this in his last 1 or 2 years at most (barring a major injury), but for a non-contender it's not a bad term. Plus, in 6 years a lot could change, including the cap ceiling. I'm happy about this addition. Edited July 1, 2016 by Teemu Selänne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Balboa Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Silly CDCers thinking a big FA would sign for less than 6/6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
