    Attaching rathbone and 4th or 5th round pick is a pretty small price to pay to move Myers Myers trade + OEL buyout would give the Canucks 13m in cap space to revamped that blueline in a significant way
  2. billabong
    Also very fair point
  3. billabong
    That’s a fair comparison in terms of picking for organizational need over BPA wallinder is a good pick but was he the BPA? By most pro scouts, he wasn’t.
  4. billabong
    Benson was the BPA this is an organizational need pick but hopefully benson doesn’t make us regret it
  5. billabong
    Meh He would have been more expensive for anyone else cause Vegas is a no state tax state…so bullet dodged
  6. billabong
    Guys don’t be surprised if he gets 4m at 5 or 6 years from someone he’s one of the most sought after free agents on D so the bidding war is gonna be crazy

    Benson is the guy who might fall he’s the guy I HOPE is gone by 11 because I don’t wish that kind of decision on the Canucks, that’s not an easy one. Our last 3 1st round picks would be wingers (lekkermaki and podz) if I’m not mistaken Obviously, we need a C or RHD but if benson is at 11 I think you’d have to take him unfortunately…

    That’s actually a pretty fair price surprised no one could beat it

    Probably some totally off topic discussions about covid, politics and/or other random topics that have nothing to do with hockey
  14. billabong
    1 yr/1m? Sure But we have so many wingers as it is I don’t see a fit
  15. billabong
    That’s one 3rd line center off the board Friedman mentioned Oreilly for the Canucks but I just can’t see it blueger or accari make more sense on a 3 yr deal around 1.5-2m deal
  16. billabong
    Toffoli? Do we right a wrong?
  17. billabong
    Thanks for the stats! Where did you dig up those numbers? Soucy is probably a guy who can anchor a 3rd pair quite effectively but can play top 4 minutes in a pinch I bet he’ll come in at 4m per over 5 years considering the bidding war will bump up his number a fair bit also wouldn’t be shocked if he gets 6 years

    Just happy to hear pearson is getting better Say what you want about the player, but as a person to have your hand absolutely butchered multiple times is just cruel.

    Well the NHL is a copy-cat league so if it worked so well for them it must work for us. 10 years ago, LA won some cups then everyone wanted gritty and mean hockey players. It’s not to say other make ups of D couldn’t work, it just the tall and mobile formula has worked 4 years in a row so it’s a good recipe to follow
  20. billabong
    People are fixated on size because the last 3 Stanley cup champions have all he had big blue lines. Not necessarily overly physical, but tall and mobile. It simply makes the offensive zone smaller for the other team and makes it a lot more difficult to skate up and down the ice.

    When Myers wants to play rough, he can mess anyone up. A chunk of the minor penalties he takes is attributed to him bigger and stronger than everyone else
  22. billabong
    4m/5yr deal is reasonable Severson kinda raised the bar on all the following dman UFA contracts
  23. billabong
    He’s American so he’ll probs request for a USA based team
  24. billabong

    Very good point. hopefully this move may give them some leverage going forward I like garland on the 3rd line cause he drives play on his own, but like you said those 2 are the most likely to go around the draft
