desiboynux4lifee******* Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 horrible horrible Hamhuis brings veteran leadership needed on defence, he is a smooth veteran guy who makes the right play, way too much stock into Sbisa. Horrible move by letting go Hammer go. Sbisa should be the one packing his bags, this is frustrating, how they don't sign a bc boy. Willie mitchell all over again. He's good enough for Team Canada but not the Canucks' great logic Benning over Sbisa. Huge mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just isn't that many quality defenders available and he's still a solid top 4 guy. I hope he goes to a playoff contender. Quality guy, hope he does well. Just not the right fit for him anymore since we can't give him expansion draft protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were Hamhuis and wanting to commit to Vancouver to finish off my career with a hometown discount, then I'd want a NMC for 1 year to make sure that I just won't be moving to Vegas after one season. It just won't work for both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbisa will teach him how to do what? and how much of a leader is TANEV? Hamhuis has the pedigree of being a leader, teams around the league want the guy that shows you how good he really is. Huge mistake, another blunder by this management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I think the writing was on the wall since the trade deadline. All the best to Hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCanuck Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 8 minutes ago, Ossi Vaananen said: It's nothing we didn't expect, though the rhetoric heading into this week was that the Canucks would try to sign him. In hindsight, this really makes the trade deadline look bad. We didn't keep the player, and got nothing for him. I don't see where he would fit either. Right now we have 9 waiver eligible D: Edler - Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Sbisa - Tryamkin Biega, Larsen, Pedan Larsen hasn't been signed last time I checked and doubt he will be due to the injury he suffered. Benning will wait to see how he has healed and then maybe sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It would have been complicated to keep Hamhuis without moving out one of the other Ds. Edler Tanev Hutton Gudbranson Tryamkin Sbisa - that's 6 spots taken and they want to bring in Larsen and there's still Pedan and Biega. Too bad - he would have been a good mentor to several of those young Ds. Burrows in an interview on RDS a few weeks ago talked of how he brought calm to the group and said that his experience can be very useful to young players like Hutton.

Losing With Pride Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 So for the most part we replace Hamhuis with Gudbranson. Yes Gudbranson is younger.. but technically as for how our lineup stands... Sideways step. Disappointed. Even more disappointed he is walking for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 There is at least 7-10 teams that will be interested in Hammer. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to one of the teams that showed interest at the TDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpt Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I love Hamhuis, but it's time to move on, not a spot for him on this team and we can't afford to protect him in the expansion draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliboy Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It seems to be an assumption that Joulevi won't make the team. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanstorm Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 If he would of taken a hometown discount of 3.5 mil, I'd say that is good to keep. Good luck Hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwags Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 While I would rather have Hammer than Sbisa, signing Hammer would have delayed the inevitable. Plus, we got Juolevi, who looks to be our future #1 D-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
