Let's Give Gud Hockey Net-Deal.

4.5 mil/4 years seems fair to me.  Benning obviously values the skillset he brings and we have lost both Sbisa and Tryamkin since we acquired him.  Our D is too soft with Gudbranson.  Keeping Gud helps develop a new culture where players stand up for themselves and each other.  I loved how we played against Boston; the team needs to play like that every night.  Look how well Edler plays partnered with Gud.

 

Signing Gudbranson doesn't only bring you the physicality he himself brings, it brings you more physicality from the whole team playing that little bit bigger.

It is great to see Edler doing well with a solid partner, who can cover off the physical side of play, letting Edler play to his strengths. That being said, I think Gudbranson also gives Edler a little extra mojo in his game too. Both were treating the Bruins like chew toys.

It was clear that NHLers keep track of what's going on around the league and it was clear that the Canucks players hate Marchand, just like the rest of the league.

 

Almost everyone came out ready to play a physical game. I think the reason why I love hockey so much is that skill is not the only thing that decides the outcome of the game. For a less skilled team, they can always exert themselves through physical play and cancel out skill. Like Bruins did to us in 2011 and the reason why that 6-1 win was so gratifying is because it was the reverse (although it wasn't the game 7 SCF).

CAN HE STAY HEALTHY WHILE PLAYING A PHYSICAL GAME?

 

30 games a year is not worth 3.5 mil.

30 isn't but he's averaging 54 with games left to play this year.

Let's go all-in..6x4. Nice symmetry. Looks great with AE.

 

4 mill is a decent AAV; 6 yrs is long, yeah. Tough with leadership qualities.

Would be happier with a shorter term based on injury issues, but I'd be pretty good with anything in the 4 - 4.5 million, 3 - 5 year term.

 

I think he's a 5x5 guy on the open market.

I would definitely offer 4x4, and willing to go higher (to a point) on the $$. Not on the term. That deal places him fully developed, at 28 years old. By then, he is either worth more or worth less (and please keep those last 2 words separate!). No higher than 4.75M

He and Edler have looked good together. We do need someone on the back end that has forwards looking over their shoulders. Stetch, Poulliott, MDZ, Hutton and pretty much everyone else in system except Guddy and Edler...do not supply that.

6 years? Way too much term for a guy who can't skate well. It would be another Erickson type contract, a total overpayment for a 3rd pairing defencemen. Just admit they made a mistake and gets some assets. Don't do it Lenning.

For a guy that can’t skate well he was pretty fast in the fastest skater competition.

having trouble embeding it, BMac says 3 years 4mil AAV

 

Thanks..Mods, may's well lock this/put this baby to bed.

 

Really glad we didn't HAVE to go long-term(but was willing!). EG will show his value, & earn another great contract in 2021!
