Thanks for coming out A donkey eh? YAK didnt play the pp in st louis. He played 10 min per game. He comes at a 1/5 of the price that Gagner will so i guess in terms of contract, Yak is better value. Also Yak is 5 years younger with far more upside. Your a moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone can play with Horvat/Henrik. So Sutter is chopped liver then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes for a long time now but he is still a core piece of the nucks franchise for years to come. Gagne is garbage so could see him signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Don't mind this at all. Can move between centre and wing, 50 points last season. I wanted us to bring him in last year to replace Vey's role as a powerplay guy who moves up and down the lineup. As for Boeser/Goldobin I'd rather we keep Goldobin up and have Boeser playing in Utica. Goldobin has played 165 games between the AHL/Finland and 23 in the NHL. Time to see what he can do at the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half a year younger than Sutter. If this is a turnaround for Gagner he could be good for another 5-6 years. Don't mind bringing in guys who are 28 and younger - we can't load our team with just 20 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter is a very good defensive forward who wins draws, plays hard minutes/pk, dzone starts etc in the name of helping shelter other lines/players and puts up 17/17/34. He's still going to be needed to do that. He is not, however, a play maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Signing a bunch of reclamation projects that likely not really going to make you much better and that you may be able to either flip at the deadline, let go if don't work out or possibly find a utility player going forward fits with a rebuild. These aren't the guys that are going to make us a great team but they do shelter some of our young prospects on what will probably be a good Utica team or in Europe instead of on what is going to be a pretty awful pro team. This is exactly the type of moves Toronto and Buffalo made when they started their rebuild. Useful pieces with some value at the TD and hey maybe a piece works out in the long run.

Better than Megna. Allows us to shelter/develop kids in Utica and have depth for injuries. Gives us a stepping stone to Petterson. Gives us a play making C for Hank retiring next year. Enough?

He'd be a great third line center on a contender looking for a line that can play against other teams top lines, while freeing up the higher skill guys on that team to go to work. What Sutter is NOT is a playmaker. His possession number aren't good, and he's a poor puck distributor, which is exactly the type of player that shouldn't be anchoring a line with young, skilled players. Goldy/Granny/Rodin/Boeser/Boucher/whoever are players with relatively high offensive upsides, but I can't see them reaching those heights if they're on a line with a center who cant distribute the puck.

Down by the River Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'd like to see Sutter be used by a coach who will play him to his strengths. One more chance in Van to do that with Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancityBeast Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Sutter probably has one more year to prove himself. Even if you match him up with the Sedins, very unlikely it will change anything. Hopefully Green will find someone else on another line who has the perfect chemistry to prop him up. If not, Sutter is pretty much done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
