goldobin contributed to EP with assist. what did eriksson contributed? ferland earned his right because benning signed him? what kind of reasoning is that? that's like saying virtanen earned the right to be a top 6 coz he was drafted 6th overall
-
So when did ferland earned the rights go play with ep? Ep dominated the league the first half of the season and coincidentally goldy was on the line. Ep struggled in the second half mostly due to fatigue we assume but also partly with whatever scrap player we put on his line. Eriksson would not look good even playing with ep lol. While goldy is on the line with ep he had a guy that can set him up.. ep is a shooter and a playmaker.. now playing with boeser and ferland he has no one to set him up as both are not a passer. Boeser shoot first and ferland is a hard nose stand in front of the net guy. It wouldnt surprise me if ep finish with more points but less goals than last year
-
By November will be even harder barring a bunch of injuries. Rousell will be on the horizon needing a spot
-
What happened to if you earn a spot on the roster they'll move ppl to make it happen?
-
goldy mostly looked out of place in the preseason.. but tbh i don't think he was given much of a fair shot as he was played mostly like a 3rd or 4th liner.. you can't fit a square peg into a hole.. good luck to him wherever he ends up. i dont see why another team wouldn't take a chance on goldobin if he's going to go on waiver.. a free young former 1st rounder that have flashes of high end offensive skill. if you think Virtanen would be picked up if we put him on waiver i don't see why not for goldobin... if goldobin ends up gone.. then i guess officially we have gotten nothing for hansen and burrows lol or i should say we have gotten nothing for all the aging assets that we should have gotten rid of during the rebuild.
-
I'm sure team a wins coz they contributed to way more goals than team B lol lots of goal dont happen without the assist
-
lol what? so a player with 15 goals 10 assist is more vaiulable than a guy with 10 goals and 40 assist? so i guess if a player does all the hard work making all the plays happened but a player bangs in the garbage goal or rebound is the valuable one and the other guy is not as valuable even though without him the goal wouldn't even happen? what kind of flawed logic is this? i love ovechkin and i'm not a big fan of crosby.. but to say ovechkin is more valuable than crosby? i'm sure 100% of all hockey people out there would take crosby over ovechkin no questions asked if goal scoring is the most important stats.. then why is Winnipeg not eagered to sign him to a massive 10mil+ contract coz according to you he's more valuable to the team then say mitch marner is
-
so you are saying Henrik points doesn't matter much compared to Daniel because 80% of his points total are all assist? i'm sure 99 out of 100 GM would take Henrik over Daniel in a heartbeat if they were to choose one or the other. that's like saying Ovechkin is way better than Crosby coz ovechkin's point are mostly goals and crosby are mostly assist...
-
the only reason i keep buying the game every year is my friend hooks me up for $20.. other than that.. i dunno if it's worth buying new one every season just coz it looks identical every season =/
-
first off he's the second worse player of the top 10 pick behind del colle production wise goals aside he's he's 17th out of 25 forwards that was drafted points wise he also happens to have the second lowest points per game of any forward drafted in the 1st round that even played in the NHL what team will give a 1st round pick for Virtanen who probably doesn't even make the team if he wasn't the 6th overall pick. he pick and chooses when he plays big despite his size. been critized multiple times about his work ethics. 3 of his goals last year were empty net goals so i dunno if that's really much of an improvement? +1 goal a season i guess he'll hit 20 goals when he's in his early 30s.
-
Not surprised about virtanen I mean there were talks about his work ethic in practice. So coming to camp out of shape is not surprising. He will remain a serviceable player but a waste of a 6th overall that could actually contribute

Benning trying to get to "common ground" with Boeser
wai_lai416 replied to BrockBoester's topic in Canucks Talk
lol people are actually complaining about Boeser's skating and defensive play when he's suppose to be your offensive forward.. i'm completely fine with him giving up the goal here and there as long as he's scoring more than he's giving up.. i can really give a rat's ass about his skating and defensive play as long as he's producing and putting the puck in the net like he's suppose to.. but i guess people will say whatever they like just to justify he's worth this and that. bet the same people will argue quinn hughes is too small and can't hit or move people away from the net and therefore he should be paid less even if he turns out to be a star defenseman pointing up all the points and driving the powerplay etc etc or how pettersson shouldn't be paid as much as the top elite centers coz he sucks at faceoff blah blah blah -
Lol so many people just assume Pearson is your top 6... he avg 15 goals a season.. by that standard I guess virtanen is a sure fire top 6 too
-
not really he was offered a qualifying contract to retain his RFA rights. so he can always just sign that... i don't think the canucks can rescind his qualifying contract unless Goldobin agrees to it especially now that UFA signing is all done. He has the option to sign the qualifying offer or play over sea if he's getting paid more.. but atm the canucks don't really have the cap space for goldobin and boeser.. well they do temporarily with LTIR.. but they will still need to clear cap if they can't get rid of loui

Do You Have Confidence In The Canucks Front Office..?
wai_lai416 replied to Honky Cat's topic in Canucks Talk
So? Basically more than half of his contract he signed are bad crippling contracts and you want to applaud him for it lol. We are lucky we were able to get rid of gudbranson. We are now paying the consequence of a serious of bad contracts he signed. Eriksson and schaller.. the spooner buyout that alone is 8+ in salary cap wasted when we could use that to improve the team or weaponize it for asset. Can prolly also add Sutter to the list as hes redundant and worth no where near 4mil for what he provides and prolly not worth much if anything on the trade market.. hes been injured for close to 50% of all games since traded to Vancouver. -
Do You Have Confidence In The Canucks Front Office..?
wai_lai416 replied to Honky Cat's topic in Canucks Talk
Eriksson, schaller, burmistrov, gagner, gudbranson, possibly sutter were all a bad signing and some were terrible contracts. -
oh don't get me wrong they are great players for this franchise.. but they probably wouldn't have retired their numbers in 95% of the teams.. let's be honest here.. if they never had the stanley cup run.. neither player would had their numbers retired.. the stanley cup run in 94 elevated Linden into the retired number just like it elevated captain Kirk into the RoH. I would say Luongo is attached to the city despite what happened.. i mean after all it is in this city that he elevated himself from stardom to franchise player level along with the gold medals etc etc. i don't think we'll retire his number now.. and probably not in a few years.. as most the bandwagoner fans here hates him for the cap recapture and wanting to leave the city even though the fanbase and media did their best to run him out of town. the cap recatpure have nothing to do with Luongo as it was a legit contract under the CBA, and Florida is the team that didn't want him on the LTIR, but heck it's Luongo's fault.. it always is
-
only the canucks would honor mediocrity but not honor greatness. we retired 2 players that are heart and soul good players in smyl and linden. yet we like to trash the greatest goalie to play of this franchise and top 5 goalies of all time.. he's 1 of 3 goalies to play over 1000 games.. 3rd in wins etc etc etc yet he's only compared to Kirk Maclean who's even in his prime isn't a top tier goalie in this league. yes it's his fault the league punished the team with cap recapture.. it's also his fault florida refuse to put him on LTIR and asked him to retire.. if the canucks were so desperate they could have traded for Luongo and put him on LTIR.

[Rumor] Boeser Camp Eyeing 4 Year Deal Worth $28M
wai_lai416 replied to buddyguy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
will never happen plenty of players have done less and paid more. everyone will be looking at william nylander's contract as comparable -
[Proposal] Van-Minny if Boeser's ask is too much
wai_lai416 replied to Provost's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
so you mention dumba is better than boeser.. and they have to give us a promising young forward on top for a player that you mention is not as good as dumba and on top of that a 6mil cap dump? am i missing something here? boeser alone probably wouldn't even get you a dumba let alone adding LE on a massive cap dump. Tanev is probably at his lowest point in terms of trade value and if we were to move him it'll probably be at the TDL -
Are the Canucks Buyers or Sellers at the Trade Deadline
wai_lai416 replied to Yung1's topic in Canucks Talk
lol how are we going to be buyers when we have nothing of significance to buy with? we are already out our 1st rounder, are we willing to give up the 2nd rounders too? or are we giving up on prospect that doesn't have much value in the NHL atm? the only prospect we have that might be worth anything is podkolzin and dipeitro.. as for the NHL players we have LE sutter who we are trying to dump.. maybe virtanen but his stock ain't high. and moving tanev is more of a seller move than a buyer move -
why would edmonton want an overpriced center that have limited offense capability and more likely than not to be injured for the entire season? since being traded to the canucks sutter had 1 season where he played 81 games.. he missed 62 games the first year when we got him.. and missed a combined 77 games the last 2 years.. he's played 57% of the possible games since traded here lol.. hardly an asset GM would pay anything to acquire.. let alone getting rid of him is more of a cap dump
-
well hughes and demko should be the top 2 coz they legit made it to the NHL.. the rest not so much
