canuktravella Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'll never forget AV's frown when Shiro scored that goal. One of the many reasons i hated av shirokov was a hardworker hustled every shift to bad we didnt give him a chance he woulda been a bure lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Frankly, at the time 4.6 per year for 4 years wasn't that bad of a deal for Burr. Maybe a tad high, but not really. It looks terrible now, but at the time, most people were pleased with it. Speak for yourself I thought it was a terrible signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 This is the last year that compliance buyouts can be used, so it would only be a waste if there were someone else to use it on that would be better for us. That said, I hope Benning isn't buying Booth out just so we can say we made use of both our compliance buyouts. That is not possible because Booth is very much buyout material, he would have been bought out last year if he wasn't injured. I know people probably won't like me for saying it but I would have went for more whole sale changes if I were the Canucks. I would have given Burrows the compliance buyout and given the regular buyout to Booth and just tried to snag cheap players in free agency to fill the space and trade them at the deadline for additional picks. Imo if there ever was a draft to tank and load up for it is the next one. Without Burrows, Kesler, Booth I think the Canucks would have finished decently low enough to have a chance at an elite talent like McDavid/Eichel. Even Barzal who is hometown kid would be an amazing addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupless44 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Speak for yourself I thought it was a terrible signing. Speaking of which how does Daniel Sedin, 34 when next season starts, look for four more years at 7 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Speak for yourself I thought it was a terrible signing. 3.8 is about the value I'd say is fair but he's a great player that plays all out every game, if I would have to pick a player to over pay it would be bur. thanks again MG we won't be free of your screw ups for how long?

Speed or Size Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 After a Kesler trade we have 20 mil in cap space, not bad at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hopefully Benning has a plan for that cap space.. Booth wasn't playing terrible at the end of the year - kind of figured we'd hang on to him. Not like we're going to contend next year anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like we're going to contend next year anyways. I think the plan is to give that roster spot to one of the prospects.....i think its more about giving the younger guys a chance rather than the cap situation.

Not that cap space hurts. Could mean we're able to take on another team's "bad" contract as part of the Kesler trade in return for further assets as well.

Pears Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I like this! An extra $4.25 million in cap space never hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Awesome news! Not only can his spot be fought over by the young guys now, we could actually go after a solid UFA for the first time in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Extra cap space and a roster spot for Jensen/Gaunce/Horvat. I like Booth but this move had to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazmanian Devil Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 He was great when he first arrived, too bad that Porter scrub from STL COL kneed him. sorry Chris Porter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Unless the cap space is critical, I thought it would make sense to keep Booth. The Canucks aren't expected to contend and Booth may have actually garnered up a decent return at the trade dead line. Not to mention, he can actually contribute on the ice as well.

Brad Marchand Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 He was great when he first arrived, too bad that Porter scrub from STL kneed him. That's Chris Porter. The Porter (Kevin) that kneed Booth was from Colorado. I was at that game, it seriously pissed me off. A great shame, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.53 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Well that was interesting while it lasted. Watch him sign a 1 mill deal with another team and put up 50 points on the season. I will laugh so hard if that happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
