That doesn't mean that he doesn't want to be here and that Benning doesn't want him here. Oh I hear you. I'm thinking that Benning might offer the spot to someone internally first like Juolevi, Rafferty, or Chatfield, who would save the team cap space. Olli's performance in the playoffs, however brief, bodes well for him getting the spot, in my humble opinion. 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't, I think he'll go get the best puck mover that he can find and I think he likes Barrie. Glad OEL made a deadline of Friday, I can't see it working for the Canucks to let it go longer than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I think they're probably trying to come in at 2.0 mil/year, otherwise they would've qualified him at 2.5 mil/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I wonder if the canucks have high*er* hopes with Bailey making the team next year (goes without saying I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is, if we don't trade for OEL, we will likely sign Tyson Barrie this coming weekend as an upgrade to Stecher. So, you're saying there goes any hope of winning the Jennings... regards, G. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it really depends on what form the trade takes. If we can upgrade defense and offload something like Loui, its not necessarily a bad thing.

Stelar Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Beary Sweet said: Gotta get Stecher signed. But probably not one of Benning's top priorities right now. Still Marky, Tanev and Toffoli to re-sign. Going to be a interesting couple days ahead How can we say that we need to badly upgrade our D and then expect to have both Stetcher and Tanev back? Where would an upgrade come? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll see if the new 'covid-cap' NHL changes things? Like you mentioned, GM's all about finding affordable options these days it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nave Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Tough to see Stecher not get qualified. But, if we get OEL and promote Juolevi, there may not be room for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 As much as it sucks to lose Stecher for nothing, at the end of the day he's a 3rd pairing D-man on a contender. It doesn't make sense to lock up the little cap space we have on him when we (seemingly) have other, hotter irons in the fire. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoman Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 2 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: I can't see how Barrie is that much of an upgrade. He's older, less physical, and will probably be more expensive. Busts his ass every time he’s on the ice. Unlike a certain power forward. Cough, Cough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
