brian42 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hard not to be excited to get Toffoli but it really makes you wonder how we are going to afford all these guys moving forward without giving up a bad contract which has more term left on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young players on ELC's are what teams with cap constraints (us) need. We'll see what happens in the offseason. If this team goes out quick in round 1 then Toffoli leaves, people will have receipts ready. Where would he play though? top 6 is mostly made up and we got Pod and Hogs in the wings. We desperately need more grit in our bottom 6 and Gaudette is playing 3rd C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to seeing him here in two years. This kid is an animal! Even the pass today that he assisted on, was a nice play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this is supposed to be a rebuilding team, now it looks like years of being in the middle of the road. Best and deepest draft in years if not decades and Benning is trading away possible future stars? Well this should not be unexpected he has never made any moves to promote a rebuild if anything the exact opposite getting rid of picks and players for nothing. This gives Markstrom's camp huge leverage now because he has gone all in, sacrificed two or three years of rebuilding. Don't get me wrong the bottom of the team looks like it could be effective but it is literally relying on two players, Markstrom and Miller, even if Edler or Tanev get hurt this team is in trouble. They have chance for the playoffs but they could still miss as the pressure ramps up on the players to make it. Almost like a GM trying to save his job. Two future players for an older banged up bottom six forward. Head scratcher Dude Madden is like 5’7 150. We need to get bigger not smaller. 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlastPast Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hate giving up Madden (and the 2nd) but I hope Toffoli can benefit from a change of scenery like Miller did. Have to think Pearson gave them some good counsel regarding Toffoli. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair to slightly below market value-wise; I just don't think the team was strong enough to be dealing futures in exchange for rentals this year. you're probably right, but I'm looking at it this way.. Brock is hurt, and Ferland is likely out for the year, and we still need to make the playoffs.. as of now, we are 3rd in the pacific Madden was an exciting prospect, but only a strong B prospect for our team.. Pod, Hog, Raff or OJ would be a major loss.. to me Schaller, madden & a pick ain't too bad to fill that hole in the second line.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Toffoli averages between 16-20 minutes per game, has 165 shots, 7 power play points, BUT only 33 hits. I'm suspecting his numbers will be better with the Canucks and caliber of our core and youth. Good acquisition but overpaid slightly. Should have been prospect and roster player or pick & roster ... not prospect, pick AND player. But I can live with this. Makes us better. Love his play. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
