Thanos Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Loved Guddy as a person and leader, but it's time to move on. Times are changing and defense needs to be quicker. Whole d needs an absolute revamp I get the lack of toughness argument, but that can't be the sole reason to justify a 4 million dollar 6th dman. Schenn can easily make up for it in the time being. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that Schenn will sits in the press box a lot. You can do that with 700,000 grand. Guddy was a high character guy who just never got it together here. I personally hope he does very well in Pittsburgh. Now I hope that this club uses the room for some kids. Probably not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haley when he was running around hitting our guys. The punch on Martel after the EP hit. Dont discount what he did just cause you have hate for the guy. And intimidation isnt always fighting. Its verbal too. If you had some guy like Guddy saying he will come after you I would be a lot more scared than Motte saying it to me. His defense was suspect and he had an awful first pass but he was playing way above the minutes he should have been playing. Doesnt mean he wasnt intimidating just being in the line up. You talk like no one even cared he was there which was not true. You're putting words in my mouth. I don't hate him at all, not sure where you're getting that from. He didn't do enough to deserve 4mil/year. Last year, he looked like he could build on what he brought to the team. He didn't. He also became a liability, much like Edler did.

But im glad Benning was able to recognize it hasnt worked & finally move on. Didn't need to wait almost 3 years to realize it was a mistake. It was a mistake from second #1, completely baffling move from the start that never should have been made. Would be nice to have Debrincat or Kyrou right now (not to mention McCann or maybe a draft pick in his place, which he should have been traded for). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naslundfan921 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So when Virtanen comes back, Spooner goes down to Utica to take Dahlen's spot and when Hughes' College season ends he comes in to theoretically take Guddy's spot. That's roughly the roster math right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People thought Guddy got walked by faster forwards.... Sure but schenn got a cap hit of 800k and only costs us del zotto to acquire. A lot of the hate guddy got was due to the expectjons placed on his value. At the time of the trade we are hoping to get a top 4 shutdown D capable of playing huge minutes and being a physical force. At the time of his resigning it was the same reiteration. But in the end, his play never met those expectations, in fact it never came close. I’m willing to bet that had we picked up guddy for free as a ufa for a cheap cap there would be a lot less hate. Either way. Canucks just opened up another RHD spot for EK 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
