Jaku Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 wow, that's a hefty wage.. 4th liner making 3.25, Max Lapierre is making 1.0M/Year and putting up the same stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedman Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Damn i just posted my hopes for July 1st, hoping we would sign Gaustad Not sure if i would have wanted him if that was the asking price though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghorneslimRules Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 it happens every year these days... everyone b*tches that we dont go all in on free agent day and pay up for these guys. Yet they still complain about manny and ballards contracts. in reality just about every canuck player is signed lower than they would get on the open market.

Darkstar Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Overpaid and overrated. Thank god the Canucks didn't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wasn't on my shopping list anyways....too slow and too expensive for a 3rd line centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucksbiggestfan Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Overpayed! Still many options out there, I would be happy with either Manny or Lappy on the third line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev's Smirk Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Good. Another contract the Canucks didn't need. Um... insert happy dance gif? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Swansons Moustache Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I much rather Gillis try and trade for Ott anyways 2.9 cap hit vs 3.25 Gaustad the only thing he has over Ott is size. I think MG is right and the trade market will open up after, too much demand for too little players out there for free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2009cupchamps Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 We have lots of optioons for third line center. Malholtra may get back to his normal form. Gaunce may surprise. Schroeder can fill in for Kesler while hes recovering and not to mention Higgins has played tones of center. There is absolutley no need to over pay. Options of trades with Luongo and Raymond and so on. So many people talk about trading Ballard which is a bad Idea. \if Hamhius or Edler go down with injuries all we have left to fill in for top 4 min is Alberts. Ballard maybe over paid, but he is great insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 What was the cap two years ago when Manny signed for $2.5m, $59.4m? Manny's hit is $2.95m under today's cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 he would have gotten 3m anywhere and i would have been totally fine with the him on the canucks for 3m but o well nsh is gonna suck next year anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 This is why we need to promote from within as much as possible. Building the team through free agency is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Way overpaid, but then again considering what Malhotra's making it's not bad. MG's gonna have to find a temporary 3rd line center while Lapierre jumps up into the 2nd line role anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
