alfstonker Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I want to be excited, I'm happy for the Sedins, but man, I just want to stop signing players with no push back. Anyway, he's a Canuck now so I'm right behind him. Go Loui!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like mentioned... You take last years team, hoppefully another step forward for Horvat, Baertschi, Virtanen, Hutton... and add Sutter, Gudbranson, and Eriksson.... Theres no reason they wont be a significantly improved group. Year after you add Boeser, Demko, possibly Juolevi, and the following year you have another 15 million or so to spend. Its not nearly the doom and gloom that most Eastern media and other fan bases are raving about. F@#K The eastern nobs. Both TSN and Sportsnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Don't get me wrong Canucks needed a top 6 player, but I would of rather spent that money on Ladd, he's a better fit in the West IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikson is a great player that makes us better in the short term, but he only takes us further from winning the cup by costing us good draft position. I would rather support a Detroit model vs an Edmonton model. If we ice a competitive team and things don't work out or we run into injuries...then I'm fine with a high pick. But that shouldn't be the goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odjicks Tooth Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Is this guy really a better option for the Twins? They need a guy to get into the dirty areas and battle for the puck. Does Loui provide this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else is left besides Boedker ? He's bigger alright, if that was him working out behind Guddy in his video he looks like he stole the keys to a Patisserie over the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Love Loui Eriksson's game. Built on IQ not meat and potatoes. Looks like I have something to look forward to in next year's games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are examples on both sides. With competent GM moves, good development, and some luck...either model can have the same result. Just remember our top offensive prospect right now was picked late in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Solid player who had a good last year; no sign of slowing down. Granted, he probably will over that rather long 6 years, but given the UFA options, he was the best one imo. Welcome to Vancouver Eriksson!

The Detroit model was drafting the best defenseman of all time and riding him till he retired. Most of that happened before the current cap era when 2/3 of the league had no chance. The Edmonton model is also the Hawks model (3 cups). It's also the Kings model (2 cups). It's also the Penguins model (2 cups). Vancouver is using the old Toronto model. Try to push a below average team into the playoffs though old free agents (Vrbata, Miller, Erikson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same draft as McDavid. Are you saying you'd rather have Boeser than McDavid? CD was exactly the reason that I hated the Miller and Vrbata signings as soon as they were made.
