No, he never became the player we hoped and no, he isn't even the same player from a few years ago, but he is a good(ish) leader and is strong defensively. Hamonic too. No, he isn't ideal - but if he comes cheap(ish), he can still contribute. I'd like to see 1 offensive and one defensive player each pairing if possible, and if Nate really is about to get traded there IS room for him.

I'm fine with Sutter, but if we still have Beagle, then he seems a bit superfluous with the acquisition of Dickinson. Ideally, I'd like Dickinson and Sutter to play 3C/4C (okay with either player in either role) and Beagle moved on from, but Beagle still has another year on his contract. I'm hoping we re-sign Hamonic. He's not as good as Tanev, but is a good reliable guy to play with Hughes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dixon Ward Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 I generally think we should move on, but I would never say anything to disparage Sutter. He has been nothing but class. He has worked hard and done whatever was asked. The injuries are not his fault, he got unlucky when he got here. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 If you remove the one injury-riddled 26 game season where he only scored 4 goals, Sutter's goals per game average is exactly the same as a Canuck as it is over his entire career (16 goals per 82 games). He was certainly overpaid for what he brought and had a lot of injuries but in terms of his actual play he wasn't really any worse than we could have expected and all things considered had a decent run in Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Don't see where he fits, unless he wants to be a depth forward. While Jim said we had interest, he didn't seem too inspired about it. Think we are moving on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Sounds like JB wants him re-signed and that's the right move, provided it's really cheap. He also sounded like Beagle is coming back which I'd be surprised by based on injuries. If that's the case, we have a pretty sturdy defensive-minded bottom 6, could certainly use a bit more size though. This 4th line isn't scoring many goals though. Miller - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Hoglander Podz - Dickinson - Motte Sutter - Beagle - MacEwan Highmore Graovac No need for Boyd or Vesey then! If we get another top-9 forward, great, if not that's a pretty decent unit to start the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deus.ex.makina Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 So now Sutter and Hamonic make sense. 1,5 Sutter 2,5 Hamonic Miller Petey Boeser Garland Horvat Hoglander Pearson Dickinson Podkolzin Motte Sutter McEwen Lockwood OEL Schmidt Hughes Hamonic Rathbone Myers Juolevi Demko Holtby Don’t see this roster fit under the cap tho. By priority we need to get ride of Holtby, unload Virtanen then Schmidt if needed. its 12M here, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be honest i’m high on Lockwood and not so much on Highmore. if i’m stuck with him i swap him with Lockwood, and send Will to AHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadcanucks Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 It's time for Brandon Sutter to reclaim his no. 21. That would be a good next step in eradicating the bad memory of Eriksson. Great signing...$1.125M for Sutter may well present itself as one of the best value contracts in the NHL. Great on face-offs, awesome PKer, and can be an effective shut-down player. All we can hope for now is that Sutter is at full health so he can be the player he was in Carolina and Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alflives Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 Very impressed with Sutter taking a small contract to stay. That shows his character. He’s not ego driven by his contract. Glad to see him back. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
