Patel Bure Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I won’t pass my final judgment on this until the end of the summer as I want to see how things play out cap wise first. My guess is that..... 1) Beagle will be LTIR next year 2) The Canucks have a plan in place for Eriksson. 3) Tryamkin will replace Edler 4) Boyd and Gaudette will be our 3rd and 4th line C’s (not necessarily in that order) 5) Benning expects someone to get claimed in the ED 6) Petey and Hughes will sign bridged Covid contracts (translation - for less money than we had originally expected). As far as Pearson goes, the presence of Pearson or Podkolzin on the 3rd line should give us an opportunity to roll out three decent scoring lines, and one of Podz Or Pearson should be able to step into the top 6 in case of injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko - 5 million X 5 yrs -- signed Petey -- 7.5 million -- 3 yrs ?? Not signed Hughes - 7 million X 3 yrs - Not Signed Podkolzin - 950,000 X 3 yrs - entry level Gaudette - Least 950,000 - 1 yr -- Not signed Juolevi - Leaat 850,000 --- Not signed Vesey - 850,000 -- Not signed Haamonic -- 2 million X 2 years -- Not signed ------- Top pairing D mana --- More important then Pearson --- Pearson -- 3.2 million X 3 -- Just crazy to sign him so early? We will now don't have enough money to sign other players more important then bottom 6 forward like Pearson... Crazy 29 next season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkSave Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I like this signing. Time will tell us how it ages and in 3 years from now, we will look back as a collective Canuck nation and be satisfied. He plays well with Bo and we need a stable winger for Bo, who for years has had a revolving door of wingers. I also think Pearson's game would compliment Petey's if they were ever put together. If you're freaking out about this signing, try the following: -get some fresh air -get lucky -order a blizzard (cookie dough is da bomb) 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEVER MIND A TOP 6 ROLE. second I get just over 20m according to capfriendly and that is with Pearson signed Podz at .925m rookie contract. 11F, 2D and 2G Which tells us one thing right away EP and QH isn't getting 10 mill plus deals maybe 3 years at 7 mill each. (so 20-14= 6 mill) So 6 mill to fill out a 13 forward .700m-.800m And 4 dmen. after the 13 forward about 5.2m for 4 dmen. That is if Holby or Myers doesn't get claimed in the expansion draft So we are signing 4 Dmen for $1.3m each? Oh no we ARE stuffed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 3 hours ago, Attila Umbrus said: I just was pondering on the other page, I won't repost, but I feel like no one will even read my take on this. Maybe you or someone else can let me know. As per the NHLPA, a contracted player cannot sign for a "bargain" price while they are under contract, as it would be "unfair" to all others that are trying to earn contracts that are comparable to Tanner Pearson, it's protection the NHLPA put in years ago I believe and remember somewhere reading about it. But I can't find anything to confirm... If Tanner was to go the UFA route next year than any team could give him any kind of offer. But while he is under contract currently those rules do no apply? Does any of this make sense? Thx I just feel like we are crapping on Benning and Co for everything and this doesn't strike me as something to complain about if it's out of Bennings hands and more due to the fact there is protection coming from the NHLPA side of things Never heard of that rule and doubt it exists. Feels like it would have been brought up for other signings across the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I like that we kept Pearson. Gives Bo a steady winger going forward. Considering a guy like Roussel was a great signing until he got hurt I don’t buy the negative comparisons at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Johnson Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 He’s not worth more than 1.75 in this day and age. Benning should be demoted to assistant to the travelling janitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract is pretty much buyout proof. We save more cap space to bury him than we do buy him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
