Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 Quote Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed defenceman Travis Hamonic to a one-year deal worth $1.25 million. The 30-year-old right-shot defenceman played in 50 games last season for the Calgary Flames, ranking second in average ice time with 21:12 minutes per game. Prior to the season's pause in March, he scored three goals and tallied nine assists. The St. Malo, MB, native has played in 637 NHL games, collecting 188 points (37-151-188) and 591 penalty minutes. The 6'2", 205-pound defenceman was originally drafted 53rd overall by the NY Islanders in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/canucks-sign-hamonic/c-320225854 7 1 12 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Darius Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I like the toughness/character this guy brings to the table. Its gonna be a useful element on the back end. Another big picture thought. The Flames traded a first and 2 second rounders for Hamonic not long ago. First rounder turned out to be Dobson. Hamonic walks and we get him for bargain basement price while Tanev gets signed by Calgary for a premium. JB gets a lot of crap and criticism sometimes..but some of the moves other GMs make look horrible in comparison.

Popular Post ilduce39 Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 Nice. What a deal. On one hand and Luongo recapture aside, this management is responsible for (most) of the cap situation they find themselves in this offseason. That’s fair. We’ll need to restructure the bottom 6 in particular as Petey and Hughes get new deals. On the other, it’s been a pretty amazing two year run for JB capped off by about as well played offseason as we could have hoped for, at least on paper so far. Between signings, trades and rookies graduating into spots he’s completely rebuilt the top 6 and D in 2 years adding: Pettersson, Miller, Pearson, Hughes, Myers, Schmidt and Hamonic. With Juolevi and Hoglander too. Thats a pretty solid mix of trades, draft picks and UFA Myers and Hamonic in there. 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoman Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 GMJB takes a lot of heat for some of his signings (not me) but he does come up with a gem now and again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow 1983 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Great number I wonder if they really like him if the Canucks would sign him as a longer term replacement for Benn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Anyone still think we should've brought back Stecher? (Love the guy, not his contract/QO) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I can't believe Loui makes 5 times as much, but kidding aside, great signing!! He improves the D game and adds toughness/grit. I have a good feeling about this team this year. Lots of new guys, but they're all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
