I don't think this is a good move at all, but as a general rule I prefer to patiently rebuild and not sign massive free agent contracts. Yeah, heavily sheltered by Chiarot? So you'd rather have kept Hutton? Do you want this team to improve or not? You want them to pull in $9mil in cap, which prevents other acquisitions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the opportunity to see 8 Jets games live when I lived in Winnipeg back in 2017 - one thing you do not realize about him is how well he skates unless you see him live. For a big man he can skate. I think this is a great signing for the Canucks. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavily sheltered in terms of quality of competition and in his offensive zone deployment. What does Hutton have to do with any of this? I am very happy with the Benn signing, that's a great contract imo. 9m is only 3m above the Myers signing, but 1) Subban is a legitimate top pairing defender who would've looked fantastic beside Edler and 2) his contract only goes for 3 more years, which is perfect. Apparently we wanted the Preds to retain salary while NJ was ok with no retention, so the team tried to trade for Subban first. Myers was the consolation prize I guess. Not a big believer in change just for the sake of change, which this sorta feels like. Anyways I don't care for this player or contract, guess I'm in the minority here.

The problem is that a few media hacks make comments not knowing a whiff of what they're talking about - and it gets parroted endlessly by their peers. Myers was not only not sheltered - he played with Kulikov, Morrow and Chiarot - but he was also a penalty killer - more than 2 minutes a game as a pker on a team that had lots of capable penalty killing options. In any event, referring to penalty killers as if they are guys that need to be "heavily sheltered" - is illogical and just plain incorrect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Defence on the older side now but hopefully Myers will replace Edler when he's retired. Gotta think they'll line up like this: Edler - Stecher Hughes - Myers Benn - Tanev Juolevi Fauntenberg? Would like a depth guy for when we get injuries.

I agree - and I also think he has far more hockey intelligence than he gets credit for - all the talk of him being a liability that needs to be sheltered gets mind-numbingly overstated imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
