Nuckin Kingsly Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Great deal. Low cost bridge deal to give our young guns more time to develop. Great start to the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavel_Bure 10 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Good signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Loving this deal too! Versatile forward, can play C or W, good dependable PP player to depend on, good playmaker and can find the back of the net himself also. I traded for him in fantasy so it's great to see him end up a Canuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about the future though. 2 Years from now in the first post Sedin season he will be so valuable to us in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenhodgejr Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Great signing. A free top 6 center who will log big minutes when the Sedins retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken. Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Isnt Sam Gagner the guy that got like 8 points in one game? Must have some mad skill to be able to pull that off fluke player? Lol! No complaints here he knows how to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 the least favorite of the signings - but still not a bad deal at all for his production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

189lb enforcers? Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 During a rebuild, I'd rather they were tough than cute. Not a fan of the tiny forwards being assembled here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 They clearly think Petterson is at least 3 full seasons away, which isn't a bad thing. He will stay in Sweden for probably 2 years then come to NA/Utica to adjust to the small rinks. Meanwhile Gagner buys us time because the Sedins could walk or retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckpuckluck1 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 The people that don't like this need to give their heads a shake. The Canucks have cap to play with and more coming next year. This is the price you have to pay for a solid player who scores points. Its not a ridicules term nor dollar value. The team just got better.

We will still have room for a couple of young prospects. It is good that we don't have to rely on ALL of them being on the roster. Some will start in Utica and get tons of development time with prime minutes, then get called up for long injury stints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 23 minutes ago, DoughtysCheck said: terrible. 3 years and too much money for a fluke player I'm kind of with you on this one. Wouldn't say "terrible" but would agree with too much for a guy that never has consistent back to back seasons. This must have been his best offer. Regardless, it's not 6x6! I'm not too upset about it. We need some depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanzolo Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Have to say I'm very pleased with Benning's moves this year. Really got me excited for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Don't mind this signing. Would have preferred a 2 year term maybe and slightly less, but it works. I think the price is about right based on his good last season.... I hope he does well for us. If nothing else, should make us more exciting and help out with our scoring woes.

JeremyCuddles Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Great signing for a team in desperate need of scoring and PP help. I don't wanna get ahead of myself but, playoffs anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
