We don't need to have that extra D in the press box in case of injury. That's what Utica is for... Same goes for forwards...yet we almost always carry 8D for a reason.

BPA Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 3 minutes ago, EdgarM said: Although I have wanted Tanev gone after years and years of injury prone years, I don't think we can afford to lose him considering we are now a competitive team and Hughes and OJ need some time to develop still. Brisebois looks like a bigger more offensive version of Stecher so I think his time is coming either way. We have lots of options but I think we need Tanev to get us to that point, similar to what Edler is to us right now. Edler was re-signed as a buffer for QH as the LD is fairly weak. Imagine if it was QH, Benn + Hutton. The 2 years will give QH enough time to get used to the NHL and hopefully take over the #1-2 D position. Tanev will be on the way out. I see Myers as taking over that hard big minutes. Not to mention Barrie becomes UFA next year (so that's an enticing option). OJ still projected to make the team (most likely next year) and hopefully Woo (in a few years) so depth is building on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's likely Schaller and Goldobin during the preseason melee (and then Eriksson, who will clear easily, when Roussel's back). We also have a lot of serviceable D. The team has almost always carried 8 for many, obvious reasons. They're frequently more injured, harder to replace etc. Unheard of? no. Highly infrequent? Yes (for good reason). I don't think that's nearly a given. And again, if he hasn't earned a spot here by now in that case...best of luck in Edmon-dump. I wasn't thinking 7d all season, just out of the gate for a bit if need be. dunno, thought Goldy had a decent game last night. Green didn't move him off the Horvat line, even late. I know it was split squad nothingness, but still, Green didn't seem to feel the need to send a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Canucks decide to trade him? There is a lot more security in a 49 million dollar deal, than an 18 million dollar one. Terrible job by that agent. And if he performs well over the next 3 years, grows into a 40 goal scorer, and signs a deal for $10M per year on a medium-long term, then he's going to be far better off than locking in his prime years at a discount. This obviously was a risk that Brock was comfortable taking for his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome drafting coming this year too. Say we finish middle of the pack, there's a whole whack of great D available this year in that range too.

A couple things stood out: that he was at the Vikings game and got a call ... I'll call you back later, I'm busy??? No. You talk NOW because we're waiting. Also that the 3 year is with a vision to do 8 or so afterward. I want to hear the swear off they had. The "leak" of the 7 upset him but was that because it looked worse on the team to not have that disclosed? Because that's a fairly decent offer in my view. Not sure how I feel about this agent. Although I do like that he acknowledges the position the Canucks were in with the Luongo thing and other signings taking place...plus the cap not going up to what they'd expected it to. So he "gets it". I do like that the media addressed the issue of is there a desire for him to play in Minny and it sounds like no. That this is the best place for him. And I agree. I didn't like his joke about BB leaving, at all. I thought it was in very poor taste 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the problem is you have to waive the player before he gets sent down. So in the event Loui actually makes the roster then 2 players have to get waived. So do you waive Goldy or Baertschi in order to keep Biega on the roster? I doubt that would happen as both would get picked up. Biega probably wouldn't, but even if he was I'd rather lose Biega than the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it...D logs the most minutes (other than G). And if they are supposed to jump up into the play then it's even more exhausting. With 8D, you can actually make better use of "load management". But that's just my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked faster and more engaged which is good but it was a VERY scrambly game so it was hard to get a good read on most guys (particularly creative/offensive ones) as the execution was poor EVERYWHERE. He looked like he had some trouble making/forcing plays but that could just as easily have been because no one was where they should be 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will HIGHLY depend on how everyone actually plays but I likely waive Eriksson long before any of them Short of Baer crapping the bed, he's not even in this conversation IMO. 4 minutes ago, BPA said: I would go with 8D if possible.

canuck_in_england Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Man I really like bridge, show me deals for the youngsters. We haven't seen the best of Brock and he has had those couple of injuries. Now we get to see if he can step up to the next level....and he'll get the big money if he does, and well deserved too if he brings it these next 3 years.
