Bobby James Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'm still a little surprised Toronto traded him to us for what they got. Happy to have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you refer to 'overpayment' you should refer to what the player accomplished imo. He scored 10 goals, 18 pts in 49 games. That's a 17 goal season - hard to buy those fore less than 1.5 imo. 9 of those goals were 5 on 5. He scored 10 goals in 59 games previously for the Leafs, while proving to be a good energy, bottom six player that can step up when needed. I think that cap hit is a borderline no brainer for the team. Edited July 5, 2019 by oldnews 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played 49 games with us His history has been at a lower rate of scoring at the pro level He has only played 49 games with us What if that was a blip and he falls back? He has no history of scoring at that higher rate at the NHL level If it is a show me contract, than show me He is only a 3/4 type player I see no urgency I like him, I think he contributes But long term, is he easily replaceable? I think so IMO, I don't think that reeks of a 150% raise Sorry..... But in saying that, it is not going to kill us 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Decent signing, but he does need to step up is 200 ft game. No question he has offensive upside and skill when he wants to try and score, but he also has a tendency to float a bit if he isn't the one having the offensive opportunity, but if Green can get him working on that part of his game then this will be a good signing.

Understood, Captain Obvious? You are going to spend picks to move Schaller and/or Goldobin. With the goal of 'regaining cap space'? Schaller is 1.8, that if waived becomes 800k. Schaller retained could probably buy you a Reaves (2.75) from a cap tight Vegas team looking to move another contract. Goldobin isn't even signed, and can't expect more than a hair over a million - equal to literally no cap hit if he doesn't make the roster and a fraction over minimal hits if he is. That would be a very dumb waste of a pick to move either of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what you have stated is typical of the Team we had that surrounded him last season. Josh was given a chance here, where ha wasn’t in TO.. I think he showed well.. I think this contract shows that not only are the Canucks genuinely interested in him staying here,. But are allowing for a full season to really pull it together with some great forwards this season,. And sign for better next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Absolute worst-case if we really needed cap, we could have recovered $1mil this year by buying out Schaller. I had thought we could use Spooner in Utica, but considering they bought him out it must mean do they plan at least another signing or want to retain more flexibility this year.
