Coconuts Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Holden's got an extra year on his deal at 1.7m but I wouldn't be surprised to see him grabbed either. Bottom pairing vet with size. Edited March 30, 2021 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we will get another Covid playoff invitation? Most of us are pushing for Gallant but frankly a cardboard cutout would do a better job than Green certainly would call an equal amount of timeouts Can a mod get this guy out of here? @73 Percent made a comment about AV in a Flyers trade topic and you're trolling us all about Green again?

Lancaster Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 As much as I wish the Canucks will pick up Gostisbehere.... maybe too many chefs in the kitchen? It would be hard for him to put up points if he gets minimal PP time. Unless the Canucks really split into 2 very strong PP units, like have Horvat running the 2nd PP unit or something. Not sure how the Canucks can fit him into the regular lineup unless some team is willing to pay a premium to take a defenseman from the Canucks.

kloubek Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Gostisbehere gets paid a decent amount, but if he can reclaim his former form I think it's a reasonable price for a guy so talented. I honestly have no idea if anyone will take a flyer (no pun intended) on him, but if someone does it's a potential high reward move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a -1 so on the surface doesn't appear to be a major liability? I would imagine he gets claimed. I doubt he gets claimed at that cap hit with that term remaining. He has been on waivers during pre covid times if memory serves me correctly and passed through. Provorov leap frogged him and I guess his big downfall in the past was poor play in his own end I think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Myers, Hughes, and Gostisbehere on the same defense would mean we would lose every game 7-5. We need more guys who can match up against other teams best players and not more guys who need to play against other teams' bottom sixes to be successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised to see a bottom feeding squad like Detroit grab him. Fair point for sure, they could then trade M. Staal to a contender for whatever they can get and get a replacement player who should help bring more offense from the back end. Could also move him in a year or 2 with retention to get value back on him if he turned his game around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Canucks don't have the cap room to put in a claim so let's just stop all the crazy talk about us claiming a 4.5m D who just happens to be yet another Lefty...who WON"T get to play his off side here as coach Green is quite against it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR7 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'd give him a shot. Virtanen and Benn for Ghost and a 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't have "already" world beating goaltending he's a decidedly average coach. I've said that for years, hell, I had a picture comparing Vigneaut to the scarecrow (no brain) in Wizard of Oz as my signature... but there's no end to the 'fans' who want him back just because he did "well" with a prime Roberto Luongo and then a prime Henrik Lundquist, still managing to not win with either team... and the Rags really should have won that year. As should the Canucks in theirs. BUT: Vigneault plays to not lose and never makes the bold move needed to win. Defend the 0-0 tie. I am not someone that wants AV back - that ship has sailed but you very much underappreciate what he has accomplished through his career - so far. Over 700 wins - 8th All-time - only 4 active coaches with more and only Joel Quenneville has a higher win % Jack Adams winner - runner up 4x including last year with many feeling he should have won it SC Finals - 2x Presidents Trophy - 3x Division Champs - 7x Playoff Appearances - 12x You can't dismiss his accomplishments because he had a couple of great goalies, so have so many other great coaches. Obviously winning a Cup is always the goal but so many great coaches haven't either, it's not that easy. If a man lacking a brain (ala scarecrow from wizard of Oz) can do all that, just imagine what you could do as an NHL coach I am sure you would make Scotty Bowman look like an amateur. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has impressive coaching stats for sure, my question is: Was it the right decision to call out his young 22yr old G and make a statement basically blasting his work ethic in practice? It could turn out to be tough love and the player responds, doesn't always work though...look at Virtanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABNuck Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'd be surprised if Florida doesn't grab him for free...then flip him in the summer for a bag of pucks when Ekblad is back and skating...with LTIR they have the capspace for his hit...and come playoffs (if Ekblad makes it back for a deep run) then he would provide some depth insurance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Will be interesting to see if a team takes a flyer on Ghost. Maybe if a team needs a dman to leave exposed in the expansion draft. I could see a team with cap maybe take a chance on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the term is what they want tho in FLA. They could probably nab Montour for a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Average/Oversized guys under Baummer are no better, so your argument is moot... Until we have a better staff we will continue to concede shots/attempts at a higher rate than we generate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Best way to teach our forwards defence would be to claim Ghost and put him out there with Hughes at the same time. The forwards will have to adapt quickly! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
