Trebreh Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 We beat two stingy teams in the playoffs without toffoli. Then he was completely invisible aside from the tap in petey set him up with in the Vegas series. Granlund is still available I think.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we need to trade assets to get a top 4 RHD or, sign one of the few remaining decent RHD UFAs. How are you doing my friend? It appears that the world has changed after my quick nap. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that the world has changed after my quick nap. =) Well, I'm doing a whole lot better now compared to a few hours ago. Nate isn't a RHD but he is definitely a top 2 D on our team. I'm back on the Benning bandwagon. Vegas did pretty good last year with only one of their top 6 as a RHD. We'll work it out and I really think Rafferty deserves a shot on the Canucks in a bottom 4 RHD role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That trade may deal with the loss of Stetcher/Tanev we have a massive gap in our top 6 and dies not take away the fact that we gave away a lot for a 17 game rental player I like Benning’s drafting side but his dealing side/contract management side is weak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got a handful of young D ready to play and just brought in Romanov who'll probably be on their roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 4-5-1 in the 10 games that Toffoli played for us in the regular season. We were trending downwards. Point is our top 6 was getting it done without Toffoli. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference now is we just added a top 3 dman (if not top pairing dman) to the team. The likelihood that a Virtanen, MacEwen, Lind, Hoglander, etc (even a longshot for Baertschi to step in) could fill that top 6 role long enough for Podkolzin to get a chance as well and take that top 6 spot is much higher than what we have in the system to fill the defense "gap". We made the right move using our cap space in an area of legit need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didnt see him being the healthy scratch on a bad Kings team low earlier in the same season. im happy not signing him. You watch Toffoli will never get more then 20 goals ever again. Mark my words. Toffoli on this new Contract season high in goals will be maybe 15 and thats it. A great non signing , as it’ll be a future buy out contract. Go Canucks Go 4 years @ $4.25m for a 28 year old top 6 winger? Doesn’t remotely seem like a future buy out. It does seem like sour grapes on your part though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every comparable FA to Toffoli that's a good signing there's at least 3 ones that look really bad either from the start or for the second half of the contract. So Benning refusing to hand out term and/or clauses for Marky/Tanev/Toffoli is definitely the right move at this phase for the organization IMO.

There’s nothing wrong with the term. Nothing at all Edited October 13, 2020 by qwijibo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
