N4ZZY Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 5 minutes ago, SilentSam said: I think Benning is quietly pragmatic, and silently premeditated, I would t say that he is swinging for fences, because these recent acquisitions come at fair cost and ample term.. I think he has loaded a gun, pointing at targets, and pulling the trigger. Some of those targets now will be at underperforming players. I think some people think that JB is dumb AF. And he's certainly made mistakes (Eriksson, Sutter, etc), but he's also made some really good moves for this franchise (drafting EP40, finding Brock later 1st round, etc). He's definitely going for it, I think he sees that if he doesn't make the postseason this year, he's probably not coming back next year as GM. So obviously he's wanting to come back. And he has made improvements every year he's been the GM here. I like his drafting, it's been better than all the other GM's that we've had (for the most part) in the history of this franchise. He's been solid. Could he be better? Yes. I think so, of course. I like Miller, and I like Ferlund. Those two in the top six will help. They're not just goons, they have offensive capability, and they're also "tough" to play against as well. That'll help both Boeser and EP40. I hope after these trades, Benning doesn't trade Boeser That'd be the worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's all take a moment now to realize that Myers and Ferland were signed at under market value by JB. Easy if one of them completely drops off a cliff to say they were bad signings (by the revisionist historians), however at this point in time I think we can all realize we got great value for both of them. 9.5 mil all in for both? Ridiculous. Many thought those two would cost 12-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it quite interesting that Jim has found his stride since Linden left. It cannot be denied that Jim is a great evaluator of talent. Our young talent is the best it's ever been. His trades have been mediocre and his signings have been average. However, overall, this off season has been a great one so far. Just sign Brock and we are set. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he gets trades down pat we will be set. he always did. One overpayment that was, at the time of signing, fair market value for a player who had shown great chemistry with the twins in international play........just so happened Loui didn't catch in Van. Everything else has been solid 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way Eriksson goes anywhere unless the team is getting a prospect they want. I just hope that prospect isn't Jett Woo. I'd ship out lind though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting 4 x 5 He clearly left money on the table like Benn and Myers did so they could play for this glorious province. BEAUTIFUL BC STRIKES AGAIN.

mll Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just now, canuckledraggin said: Yeah, but unless Roussel is way ahead of schedule, they have until December to figure that out. Also they are likely to have another injury or 2 to add to LTIR by that time. LTIR is minimum 10 games or 24 days. Short term injuries still count agains the cap.

Popular Post MikeBossy Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 5 minutes ago, EddieVedder said: This has to be one of my favourite moves made by the organization in years. Someone said it in this thread above but this totally is starting to remind me of that '94 team, which honestly was really similar to the Blues team that just one this year. We look really deep at this point up front. I would LOVE seeing Ferland with Bo and Pearson. I can see this allowing Miller to play his preferred position at centre, and likely means Sutter is out. Pearson - Horvat - Ferland Baertschi - Petterson - Boeser Leivo - Miller - Virtanen Roussel - Beagle - Motte Miller is not a 3rd liner he plays in the top 6 - as others have suggested I think the top 6 is: Ferland Petersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Miller 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainLinden16 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just now, Silky mitts said: Ok and if Boeser is lost without the puck on his stick you want to put him away from the best playmaker/vision on our team ? No one will feed him like EP does. And i don't think you have watched them play if you think they don't have any chemistry lol Boeser had more goals, less ice time, less games played and he was rookie without Pettersson. His shooting percentage was higher without Pettersson. You don't have to look at the stats although they tell a clear story. You can simply watch them play. Boeser is not a great player without the puck. That is what he can develop and grow in his game. They don't come to the NHL as finished products. He is a very good player with the puck on his stick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 26 minutes ago, Virtanen#18 said: 2 possibilities: a) we are trading Boeser for 3x 1st round picks so Ferland fits into the current cap room b) a trade coming to get rid of Eriksson and/or Sutter 5 minutes ago, Tystick said: Still 5mil+ cap space and no room for Sutter + Eriksson. We'd buy these guys out before losing Boeser. With Roussel on IR we can fit Boeser and not have to move anyone until Rouss comes off. After that, any of Baer, Sutter, Tanev or the 'white whale' of Eriksson will need to be moved and shouldn't be a problem. So we basically have until November'ish to solve this 'problem' (and I wouldn't be surprised to see it dealt with before that either as we DO have a lot of bodies). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokes Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) It is going to be intersting what the Canucks are going to do with the amount of forwards they have. Surely you can't bury them all in the minors. Edited July 10, 2019 by smokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kobayashi Maru Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 2 minutes ago, Tystick said: I would say playoffs are a guarantee at this point. Statistically: - We have enough production to make the playoffs. - Improved defense to prevent more goals than last year - So therefore odds are Markstrom and Demko will have a much better season. Considering JB had the confidence to trade our 1st, this should all tell us something. I fully agree here. We are fundamentally better now. For all those who are still worried about the 1st, think of it this way. Myers, Miller and Ferland for a 1st. Seem better now? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock is a great shooter...Petey is one of the best at setting others up. It also takes the focus off Petey AS the shooter when he and Brock play together. Either one can score.
