EternalCanuckFan Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'm pretty sure the cap situation for the Canucks won't allow them to pick up Schenn but I might be wrong. Backes has had a strong career but he has slowed down significantly. I'm guessing this is an attempt to give him a chance with another NHL team while also giving the Bruins the option of demoting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about him a month ago, I miss his toughness on D and the occasional crushing hit. Fantenberg and Benn have been OK but they don't provide the same element. Undecided if I would give one of them up to scoop him up though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glug Datt Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 wow Backes.. not the way you want to leave the game.. another stinker of a contract, similar to someone else we all know lucky for Eriksson he wasn't sent on the same train out of town before he made himself useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the rumor was that Gillis almost traded Schneider for him?? That move could have been the difference in us getting a cup. In his prime David Backes was a tough and solid hockey player, and not having Schneider would have meant no goalie controversy, Luongo should have always been our guy. That move could have changed Gillis' fate as a GM had it gone through. Oh well, no Schneider means no Horvat though today.

D-Money Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 26 minutes ago, StealthNuck said: Signing Backes as an RFA would have been great. He was very effective in St. Louis. Signing him to the long-term UFA contract though - yeah, that would have sucked. That said, I'd trade Eriksson for him! Not because Backes is better - Eriksson has actually been decent lately - but just to get rid of the extra year of term. A buyout in June for DB would only be a $2M cap hit next year, and $1M in 2021-22. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
