If Boyd proves to be longer term replacement material for Sutter or Beagle - I'll give you that. I'm doubtful of that. Otherwise, it may remain the fanbase that needs to realize the value of having hard minutes centers in transition stages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Roussel He was, including his first year here before his knee injury, a solid, two way 3rd liner, elite pest, with borderline 2nd line production. Yes, he was. 41 minutes ago, Googlie said: And heard from across the continent, Kole Lind's "WTF" Both currently out with a broken nose and subject to a 14 day, cross border, quarantine requirement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he was. I thought Roussel was excellent for us his first year and then that brutal injury... I just don’t remember hearing about other teams interests when he was a FA. Not to say he wasn’t sought after but I remember lots of teams having interest in Sutter and Beagle. Both players who are still very good at what they do and extremely under appreciated. I thought Sutter had slowed since his injuries but has seemed to have bounced back over that last year ish since the playoffs I’d say. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be ok with Matthews 50% retained for Eriksson next As for this pickup.... Don't know much about Boyd until now... His stats actually look solid and given that 700k cap... fellow Minnesota boy for Brocky to make him feel more at home so he'll never leave Oh another Travis on the team... Trifecta! Loved the Vesey acquisition and this one looks like it could work out too! Disclaimer: Really don't think I ever saw this guy play, but more often than not, Jim the KING is right. I will trust Jims judgement and believe in this pickup. His hands have been tied with covid but 2 Tarrrrrana pickups are just what the doctor ordered. No quarantine, ready to get vengeance against their old team that gave up on them... and seriously love the fact that he's from Minny. Prob my fav American state.

Popular Post smithers joe Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 is pods getting any closer to coming over? funny how every thing that benji does, brings out the worst in fans. i think these moves are low risk and can be walked away from if they are not what we need. we are definately going to lose players after this season by trade or let walk. there is a good chance that lind and pods will play next season. good luck canucks. 3 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking and hoping its precursor to someone being shipped out to open cap? maybe one of Rous or Beagle? Jim would look like a genuis if he pulls that off and uses Boyd at 700k cap hit instead... Then maybe people will stop calling the whambulance over his cap management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will continue to post my opinions that reflect what is good or bad for the team, thank you lol. I actually didn't even bash Benning in my post, it was just comments stating on facts, don't get so sensitive lol. More like a reasonable thinker.

EternalCanuckFan Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Thomas Drance seems to think that there are strong reasons to see this as a precursor to moves, which I would hope, but it just seems to be more of a injury issue than anything. As mentioned multiple times already, I don't think Boyd is an adequate replacement C if the Canucks move out someone like Sutter. Having said that, the Canucks yield a fourth line of Motte/Roussel-Hawryluk-Boyd. If Motte's on that line, then each player would have played C before and could slot in to take faceoffs. I don't think Hawryluk has taken a lot of faceoffs in the NHL so far in his career, but it seems like he has been used in that capacity before, so it can't hurt. Motte-Hawryluk-Boyd is my preferred 4th line set up while Beagle is out. It should be a high energy and very pesky 4th line to play against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coconuts Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) One of those low-risk, potentially medium-reward moves some fans complain we don't make. Again. Worst comes to worst he's depth while we've got some guys banged up and we walk away from him at the end of the season while putting the screws to Toronto. Or we waive him and they take him back. But who knows, maybe he performs well and gets a chance to battle during training camp next season. But sure, let's fuss about past moves for the billionth time in a thread where Benning and co have made a low-risk present move. Nothing like a bit of snark and patting one's self on the back.

Beary Sweet Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Good depth pick up. If Beagle is out longer than expected, then it’s always nice to have a insurance policy. Hope he impresses in a Nucks uni! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
