I can't count how many times I've said the exact same thing. If nobody hates you, then your team sucks. Hence my comments earlier regarding 2011. Starting to feel like that again and I totally love it too. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After retiring, Grimson finished his undergraduate degree and began work on a law degree. He completed his law degree in December 2005 at the University of Memphis Law School. He was In-House Counsel for the National Hockey League Players' Association (2006–2008) and then worked for the Nashville law firm of Kay, Griffin, Enkema & Brothers, PLLC (2008–2012).

FlyLow_ Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Finally! I've been pining for size with skill for so long. This signing really caps off a great re-shaping of the roster. I'll admit the cost to do it all was a little higher than I'd like, but I am legitimately happy with our roster going into next year. I haven't been able to say that since 2011. My expectations are obviously much lower than 2011 but I'm fine with this team for where we are at. Our young stars were already getting things done while getting cheap shotted and targeted non stop, now we have guys that simply won't tolerate it. Jordie Benn, Ferland, Roussel when he gets back, JT Miller and Myers aren't afraid to drop the gloves either. I don't know how it's all going to shake out with the cap right now, but I love it. Maybe this will finally help Virtanen come into his own physically and hell, maybe Horvat will stop doing fly-bys and hit something. I've felt strongly that Miller is a better fit with Bo and Ferland is a pretty ideal fit for Petey and Boes. This is a legitimate top 6. Games are going to be fun this year.

I remember Scotty Bowman telling Yzerman that to win a Cup Stevie needed to focus on the defensive side of the puck first. The Wings almost traded Yzerman at that time. But Stevie learned, and changed his game from being selfish to team first. Will McDavid and Draisatl do that? I’m glad our top players don’t need to be told to play defensively. For our guys it’s built into their characters. Cant you see the positives? We are getting a really good team! I believe Ovie finally did the same thing and he was greatly rewarded. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oldnews Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 Gotta hand it to GMJB and the rest of the management, scouting, coaching staffs. They set themselves up incredibly well for this moment - this summer - with all that cap they had banked. They took real advantage of a relatively unprecedented deflated cap market - that was a bit to their advantage - they got more done than I optimistically hoped they'd be able. And that wasn't taking into account the recrap. For a guy that can't negotiate contracts, can't manage the cap, can't pro-scout - he's sure had a hell of a summer (and last summer imo was also a win - the Beagle and Rouseel signings were excellent, and if healthy, will really pay off with this group - which imo has gotten very competitive and balanced. 3 2 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) That should cancel any Lucic to Vancouver needs. That is one powerful signing. It should signal that one or both Eriksson and/or Sutter are out. Edited July 10, 2019 by Me_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyHarry Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Crazy pre draft I thought the Canucks future was going to be a small skilled soft team. I was totally wrong....and I’m so happy this team is getting bigger and better. This team IS getting better and better. Playoff hockey will be fun. Go Canucks Gooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why no matter where any of us might fall on the Benning Hate-O-Meter, we should be excited about the offseason moves Benning has made. There is always risk but on paper all of the moves fill specific needs and create lineup options for Green. Thats how you improve in the NHL. For years people have been crying for Benning to do exactly what he has done this offseason. Surround our young group with guys who play hard, work hard, and can improve our offense and possession game. Lets enjoy it, shall we? 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) This I a very very good signing for Vancouver, Ferland 27, 6'1, 215 lbs --( 4 x 3.5 million )-- 18-22 G -- 39 --45 Points plays a complete game and adds lots of grit and toughness to the forward line...He with play with Bo or Pettersson and add a great affect to this team..Imagine Roussel and Ferland running around.. We have been missing a guy like Ferland, toughness and grit and will make more room for the talented guys he will play with.. Great signing Jim....

Who cares? He brought up that he has a good character background. Just makes it that much more easier to root for. Fits right into what "being a Canuck" is that Benning and crew keep talking about. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
