Gaudette Celly Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Took 5 years, but Benning finally got his guy. Recall that at his first draft in 2014 it was reported that he was all over trying to get Myers but couldn't get a deal done. The following year he went to Winnipeg in the Kane trade.

Theres still options to ship out some contracts and get a right winger for the second line. Or another top 4 defenseman. FWIW, the guy on Reddit is standing by his story that Ferland is coming at 4x4. Obviously another move has to be made to clear cap first, but apparently the push has been coming from their end. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in the post you quoted me on. I’d like it if we became a Jake Gardiner factory. I really envy the way the Nashville Predators build. They draft and develop defence and use them as currency. When Weber and PK get too expensive for what they provide, off with their heads. Bring in the next one who is bursting with nhl readiness.

Original post: Quote "Just wanna start off by saying I hate being this guy.. I have a source saying Ferland is a done deal. 4 years around 4 mil per. Can confirm at the very least he’s been in Vancouver with his agent yesterday and today. Plan is to sign as soon as the window opens tomorrow. Totally understand if this is removed, just want to put it out there." "If I’m wrong I’ll donate $20 to one of the canucks preferred charities. Wish I had more money to put on the line, but I don’t." https://old.reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/c7o089/ferland_4x4_hate_to_be_this_guy/ Put up $ when challenged, and paid up as promised but maintains it will happen: Quote "Just wanna say one more thing! I’ll admit the timing was wrong, but I’m still convinced this deal goes down. Like I said in another post, Ferlands agent is aware of the dominoes that needed to fall before a deal would be reached. I was never told specifics about what dominoes those were, but I can only assume it meant the movement of some current players. It also sounded like Ferlands camp was the side driving the bus." https://old.reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/c81qpg/20_to_canucks_autism_network_match_my_donation/ 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would look very good: Ferland Petey Boeser Pearson Horvat JT Miller Roussell Sutter Virtanen Motte Beagle Hoglander Trade Baer, Loui, Goldy for whatever you can get to open up the cap for Ferland. You still have schaller as a spare. Keep Gaudette in Utica until we need to call him up. MacEwan could still also be called up. Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Benn Stecher Marky Demko Much better team to start 2019 than last year!! Forward group has some big bodies and snarl. Ferland on the 1st line to pop in some goals and watch out for Petey. The 2nd line is just plain big. The 3rd line has good size and major agitation abilities. Good 4th line. Many say Hoglander is ready to go after already playing against men in Euro. Edler could cover for some Myer defensive gaffs while he goes for some offense. Tanev covers for Hughes for the same reason and while he learns as a rookie. Solid 3rd pairing D. Goalies are strong overall. Demko to play 30+ games as per JB/Green at the draft.

Tomatoes11 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Lol at the people dissing TSN. I am just going to say that they have way WAY less reason to be biased against us than we have to be biased for us. So if you asked me who’s views would be closer to the truth between Canuck shills like a John Garrison, iceman64, and Hutton wink or guys like Ferraro and Patterson, I would say the latter group every single time.

I don’t even want to get into that but in hindsight we build that team for a short unsustainable window. IMO building through FA is always a shorterm solution. Myers and Benn are here because we haven’t drafted or developed any d-men that can fill those holes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbriggs Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 8 hours ago, Kanukfanatic said: But that is not Myers strength at all. His strength is in skating and offense. Scouts say his defense is the problem and can be subpar. He would fit better with Edler because of that. He is not a stay at home D man.

This is actually okay but I might be desensitized by all his horrible moves that this move might be seem normal or passable in comparison when in reality, it isn’t. We shall see once the season starts. shut it trollface, but yeah you'll be eating crow soon enough.. i'll have the salt and pepper ready for you... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, in that many GMs take the FA bate and fail too - look at 2016 epic fails. Many - many examples of fail over the decade! But you guys like kingofsurrey try to frame it as JB being the only big fail. I'm a believer in building through the draft first and then filling the holes via deals from trades to FA's. We are getting close, you can stand on the sidelines watch... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
