DIBdaQUIB Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 From 30 goal scoring star to unwanted in the space of a year. Talk about a rapidly depreciating asset!! Perhaps a lesson on why the Canucks should be considering moving other non-star assets like Hansen and Edler for younger guys with potential so they will be ready when our kids take over?

Odd. Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hated his play last year, but I do think he's still a serviceable NHL player. He'll easily give you scoring depth and pot you 15-20 goals with better line-mates. Hopefully he gets an NHL contract. There's reports saying he is talking with 4 teams. He's still a useful player.

Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 From what I hear and read, it sounds like Vrbata is the last person to know this. It was reported yesterday he was in talks with 4 teams, Arizona being one of them. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1061188?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter I bet he could make more money in Europe, so I think it will come down to whether Vrbata will take a huge pay cut to stay in the best league in the world. Given how he mailed it in last season, I doubt it. Either someone overpays, or Kuz is right. I think the real question is, will it be KHL or Czech league.

oldnews Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Not really a report - it's Kuzma guessing what may be in the cards for him - not as though he's pretending to have any source updating him with any real information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Would be funny if he played for the team he owns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a guy who you want to score 25-35 a year, he needs to have a little more to his game. Vrbata showed that last season with his poor goal totals. What drove me nuts last season was watching him take low percentage shots that had no chance of generating any type of scoring chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hmmmm... I've got him locked up for two more years at 4aav in CDCP... not sure if I want him to go to europe so I can open up an extra cap or if hope he signs with a competitor and rebounds at the 4mill for two years. I think I'll be ok either way... probably leaning towards him going to europe so I get the extra cap though =/ Gonna need that extra cap so I can lock up the Bone Show long term and continue pounding @oldnews @Baer. in the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 That is what happens when you bitch about your line mates and just stop trying. Who wants that on their team? I don't care where management told him he would be playing. They don't make the line ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal:thecup Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Vrbata doesn't deserve a contract from anyone. His lack of effort and disdain for the team last year is indefensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. He is certainly still serviceable in the NHL. He never got paired with the Sedins last year so it was impossible to expect him to pick up where he left off. He is the type of player that needs to know he is sticking on the same line and staying there so he can study the tape, and build that chemistry. Yes, that's very one dimensional so that goes against him. I could see him going to Arizona but I do not see a deal over 2.5 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so it's not a report of him signing in Europe but rather Kuzma's opinion. Gotcha. Misleading tag for this thread then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Huscroft Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's more speculative than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
