i really believe Juolevi and Raff will surprise a lot of people. 

 

I advocated for them to see some game time in the playoffs lol thats how confident i am.

 

both guys can skate themselves out of trouble, have good first passes and have more offence than Fanta and Benn. 

Hopefully but on any given night 50% of the d would have less than 100 NHL games.

 

Scary.

Yeah, no chance Jimbo is done... again, he landed Holtby pretty decisively for what I consider a fair deal $ and Term (and being exposed to Seattle).
 

I expect we sign a 2nd pairing RHD vet who’s a little more of a sure bet than Tanev, either age wise or injury wise... and a guy who brings a bit more physicality or offence than Stecher OR Tanev.

I hope so. But I don't see many options. Hamonic? Vatanen doesn't replace Tanev, maybe he replaces Stecher. Both?

 

Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

Have a feeling Benning will overpay for Barrie now and our D will be even weaker than last season. 

says the guy that claimed Barrie at 6 million is a "no brainer".

Benning had interest in Barrie before going to Toronto. And I think the interest is mutual.

 

If you can get a 50-60 point d man for the same cost as Myers on a shorter deal it’s a no brainer.

The sky is not falling!

 

Demko & Holtby will be solid

 

GMJB did good today, good deals on Motte, Macewan and Holtby.

 

Those deals that Tanev & Markstrom signed with cowtown will be regretted.

 

Holtby, 31 has more losses then Markstrom has in wins. Over. Their. Careers.

 

Markstrom turns 31 in January... he will also make 8 million per season for 2 seasons back to back.

 

This is a money issue for the Markstrom, not about winning.

 

Tanev is more of the same as we know his game, weaknesses/strengths, injury history.

 

I'm happy neither of those contracts were offered by Benning.

 

Hopefully some cap can be moved out, GMJB does his magic and somehow gets AP&TT somehow, sounds like he may have a few trades on the table and a few offers on ufas.

 

Our D as of today will not be what we start next season with.

 

Be happy!:towel:

I'm far more angry about Tanev leaving than Marky. Marky deserved that contract, plain and simple. I'm just glad we didn't give it to him.

 

Tanev, on the other hand, was the core of our D. Our D wasn't anything special, and now it just got a whole lot worse. Especially if Barrie signs.

 

Seriously, what is this?

 

Hughes - Myers
Edler - Juolevi
Benn - Chatfield +Barrie

Well thats another d man gone. But I am glad benning is not tossing all this money around. Hopefully he has a plan for the defense

He and Boomer coming out of retirement and lacing them up.  That's the plan

Agreed, Canucks like their bad contracts at 6 years.

No more.. I've had enough lol
Can this team win the cup before I die please?

I'll reserve judgement until we see the final roster.

 

Just the problem here is that there's no UFA left that can replace what Tanev did for us. Barrie isn't the same type of player. So we'll have to pay something to replace him (trade).

If the team struggles... maybe another 1st round pick traded for a defenseman? 

Most teams sell the future to win the cup.  Canucks might have to do it to make the playoffs.

Injury report: Tanev suffered an upper body injury while signing the contract. 

And still blocked 13 shots.
