Ghostsof1915 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Maybe Benning wants to see how the young stars tourney goes, and maybe fill any holes with our own prospects? Or see how Pre-season goes in the league and make some moves then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomniac604 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 IMO we missed out. But without a F trade on the horizon, we didn't have room. Especially the kind of room Pirri needs to score another 20. NYR will undoubtedly move a contract or two to make things work. Probably Rick Nash plus "anyone who isn't Stepan or Kreider" for a D. If they're smart they will move a heavy D contract for "any offer imaginable" to a cap floor team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 decent pick up for the rangers and glad we never signed him!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 So aside from Ericsson who had the Sedins and a Swedish connection which NH er have the Canucks signed who actually wanted to come here on his own? They struck out on Hudler, Gagner, Pirri pretty much every single guy they have targeted. Jooris, Knight are the only ones pretty much left.

Personally I don't think JB was even interested in them really, not seriously at least. They're not at all what he said he was looking for.

Most other teams in our division will have their crap figured out by then. The new year will be a dog fight and that seems to be the time serious injuries happen.

Base on precedent I would find it tough to argue against Louis quality. My only concern is concussion history, being new to the west game in game out and still not really sold on the contract in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudler,Vrbata,Stamkos,Ericsson, so like 4 off the top of my head. I'm saying it's probably not enough to think Ericsson being Vrbata good first year wise will be enough to sneak into a wild card spot. The Canucks will have their usual injuries to the d core and one or two forward injuries will torpedo their season because they are paper thin depth wise up front in terms of proven guys.

I would be very surprised if the Canucks make the playoffs next year without help from other teams underperforming or being drilled by injuries. I just don't see where the goals will come from from the forwards and especially the d. Sutter has never hit the 50 point mark in his career. He is a third liner unless proven otherwise. This team has too many question marks no one on the d core outside of Elder and Hutton can be safely expected to put up 30 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 yes but lets say we get over 20 goals from Sutter which he does every year,baer and horvat are better,our D group will be bigger and faster meaning teams will have a harder time to score and most games last year we were in till the end meaning this year we will be better so i see us fighting for a spot.
