Convincing John Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Why does Jim have this deep rooted hate for cap flexibility? Did something traumatic happen in his childhood? Being up to his eyeballs in salary cap is being metaphorically swaddled? Does he need a hug? Cause I’ll hug the crap out of him if he stops paying 30 year olds like 22 year olds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' All the righteous indignation is pretty hilarious for a pretty 'meh' deal. People should save their pantie twisting for something actually bad... Like re-signing Eriksson Edler is next. It’s a similar issue. Ideally they are not brought back but they need to have the players for the roles they play, and the others already under contract are either not trusted/declining or not ready to take over just yet.

Popular Post Screw Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 I like what Person brings. Since joining Vancouver he had been a productive scorer, physical presence, and a has played 2nd line minutes. Lol @ all the hate here. At 28, he will be in his prime throughout these three years. He is a quality player. The contract is not as outrageous as the drama queens will have you believe. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistency is good in some cases, not all. I hear you - and I was quoted on this board hoping / figuring we’d be selling rather than retaining. That said, this is a guy we know gels with the captain being retained for a 500k haircut, not a UFA splash. I still see it as fairly low risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Well, here is my 2 cents worth........... If you look at the lines amongst the teams. I noticed this in "general" 2nd line players are either on ELC's but are high end prospects or being paid more than Pearson 3rd line players are either on ELC's or paid less So, since he has been both in the last 2 years (aka production), which one is he going to be for the next 3 years? Benning is betting on the former..........I am not sure which one, so Benning is either a genius or should get a kick in the arse!

Pearson is on the decline u don’t pay 3 plus million to a player who has 6 goals in 33 games This year isn’t a good barometer for anyones play. Pearson is a 200ft player and certainly not “on the decline” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s benning slurping and rampant homerism . But it’s always good for some great laughs provided by some of the takes. ive yet to see a post where some ones right out praising benning for this, what are you going on about.

ilduce39 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 As an aside, locking in Pearson makes me think we might be looking to go: Pettersson Miller Horvat down the middle next season. Not necessarily in that order. Boeser, Hoglander, Pearson, Motte and Podkolzin as wings... with the rest of the riff raff battling it out for that last spot.

Nope. The freak out over paying a solid, two way, +/- 40 point, middle 6 forward that fits well on our team, market value, is silly. 10 minutes ago, highwayman3 said: We already lost Tanev and Toffoli due to overpaid bottom 6 junk, when we lose more players we shouldn't be concerned? We lost Tanev to gain Schmidt. Win. We lost Toffoli because of Covid (or I'll grant you Eriksson). 10 minutes ago, highwayman3 said: We should just be happy while the team wallows in mediocrity forever? I wish I could approach the Canucks with your Big Lebowski-esque whatever dude approach, but when you invest in a team emotionally and financially it's frustrating to see them making the exact same unforced errors again and again and again. Ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 29 minutes ago, mll said: Can’t imagine Green going with an all rookie line. The bottom-6 doesn’t produce much because they don’t generate much. That was already an issue the season before despite better counting stats but there was the risk of regression. Counting stats alone are not necessarily a reliable way to assess performance or sustainability. Gaudette was shooting at 16% last season while getting caved in facing some of the softest competition. Nothing much different this season other than his shooting percentage dropped. It's a one rookie line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with his down year, his goal rate in his Canuck career is 1 goal for every 3.3 games. If he gets back to scoring at that pace, he’d score around 25 goals in a full season. That potential production is pretty darn good. Add in the fact that he plays good defense and can penalty kill and play on the power play. I’ll happily watch Tanner Pearson another 3 years in a Canucks jersey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After signing Pearson to this deal, buying out Eriksson is the most sensible move otherwise our defense becomes TOR 2019. But looks like JB is planning on a tire fire next season anyway, so may as well put Eriksson on a line with with Pearson and Horvat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patel Bure Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 56 minutes ago, stawns said: and between Petey and Hughes, I'll bet they each take about $1.5-2m less than anticipated That would be my guess as well. I’m curious as to how Benning is projecting the lines for next year? Miller-Pettersson-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Hoglander OR Hoglander-Horvat-Podkolzin Podkolzin-Gaudette-Virtanen OR Pearson-Gaudette-Virtanen In terms of potential for offense, One of Pearson or Podkolzin will likely be an upgrade over Roussel on that 3rd line spot and so that should give Gaudette and Virtanen a little more help. Will the Canucks re-sign Vesey? Another possibility is that the Canucks liked what they saw from Miller as a center during Petey’s absence, and so keeping Pearson would allow them to create three decent scoring lines? Hoglander-Miller-Boeser Roussel-Pettersson-Virtanen Pearson-Horvat-Podkolzin Motte-Gaudette-MacEwen (Beagle to Robidas Island) Boyd Hughes-Myers Tryamkin-Schmidt Juolevi-Benn Demko Holtby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
