    yes - but when you think about it, even where Edler's best interests are concerned, if he wants to stay in Vancouver, this way he is not vulnerable to the expansion draft - so he's free to re-sign here and neither require protection, nor take the risk of having to spend a year or two in Seattle or whereever they may have elected to deal him if the selected him.

     

    2 years in the end may be preferable to Edler - it also inches up his cap hit (although he still took a discount) - and he maintains control over his future.

    I always thought that this was the best way to get around the expansion draft and made the most sense for everyone. Added bonus that this expires at the same time Petty and Hughes new contracts will kick in. Just works for everyone.

    That player was / is a very good pick for CBJ. Pierre Luc Deblois was way up there on my wish list for the Canucks to pick too.

    Wasn't PLD the guy Montreal wanted for Subban? I don't think PLD being a Canuck was ever in the cards.

    Boucher is an interesting case. I think he's good enough to get an NHL two way deal from someone, but likely just as a depth piece. He probably passes through waivers. 

     

    I expect the canucks to qualify him, just to keep him away from other teams, and assign him back to Utica.

    Generally players ask for more than their worth in arbitration than what they're expecting while the team goes low, so they end up where they generally expect. I don't think Ceci has blown the expectations out of the water since last season, so I can see him signing a longer term deal (5-7 years) at around 5-5.5 million with possibly no clauses.

     

    He averaged over 22 mins of ice time including the majority of the PK time on defense on an atrocious team. So he's probably played too many minutes than what type of player he is (probably 2-3 mins more ice time on average than he would on a better team) and he had the hardest assignments, so it's easy to say that he's been exposed, but in a better system he might look far better. Adding a guy like Ceci could make someone like Tanev more expendable to get younger and recoup some loss that we gave up to acquire Ceci.

    Acquiring Ceci doesn't really get him away from the high TOI, especially if we trade Tanev. Then he's still our "top" RHD defenseman on the depth chart and will be playing more than he should. If we do keep Tanev, its better, but we have to account for the time Tanev is likely to miss with injury, where Ceci will be forced into higher minutes. 

    If we're looking at a similar assest price for Ceci as we saw for Guddy, plus the extension which I would guess would be in the $5.5 range, wouldn't it be better to just spend the cash on someone like (only as an example) myers? 

     

    I'm not completely against getting Ceci for the right price, but if Ottawa sees him as a top 4 and wants that kind of return, plus the contract for a top 4, then I think we can find better value elsewhere. 

     

    I haven't watch much of him, so my opinion is based on what I hear from those who have. I also remember reading a CA article a while back the compared Ceci to Guddy quite closely. So, I'm not high on him to say the least.

    I'd say to stay away from Ceci. A couple of my friends are big Sens fans and they all say he is constantly their worst defender. Plus in his last arbitration he was asking for $6m.

    At that price and what it would cost to acquire him, we're better off going in another direction.

    For a guy who has already snubbed his nose at the team that drafted him and the team that traded for him.  He clearly has his eyes on a specific team to land on.

    And if we're not one of the teams he wants to sign with, we lose a 3rd as a result.....

    Obviously the deal would be contingent on us signing him. If we're not on his list, then no deal, but we have a hole on the right side that he can step right into, Vancouver is a beautiful city and we have some young, exciting players that we're building around. 

     

    I'm not saying is going to happen, or even likely, but I think it's a good fit for all parties.

    Since we're on the topic of Fox, I'd love Benning dangle a third for him. Maybe Goldobin and a late pick gets it done. 

    Would help shore* up out right side and give Rathbone a  connection to the team.

    Nice finish to the season for Madden. Another year of college, then the A. Then he could be ready to jump into a 4th line role with pety, bo and gauds ahead of him.

    Usually I don't have an issue with size (and I know I'm beating a dead horse) but 5'7 is small. And at 20 years old, he's not likely to grow. At least if he was 18 there's a shot of him growing an inch or two, but now, not so much. I think there would have been better plays to target for a boom or bust pick with this pick. 

     

    With that said, I'm rooting for him all the way. Hope he can prove the majority of us wrong about his size. He's certainly skilled enough that he could be utilized as a specialty forward and still be effective in the new NHL
