He is a lot cheaper than Sutter, so we do save on the cap. Or more like: Dickinson and Gadjovich for Lind and a 3rd. Still hoping Seattle takes Holtby though.

We gave up a 3rd for a proven middle six forward that is exactly what we needed. Everyone should love this trade as he fills one of our biggest needs. Is he a centre though?

He’s horrid on faceoffs! Does Bo take all the D zone left hand draws? This trade is very likely to cost us Lind. is this guy worth Lind and a third? About the faceoffs. Maybe he can learn a thing or two from Bo, Miller and Beagle. Mannys secrets reside in them! 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he’s decent depth, but is he worth protecting (he’s coming 27) over Lind? That's what 4th line centers are for, JB promised 3 scoring lines and this is a move to help with that. We can still sign Sutter for cheap to take D-zone draws. There will be lots of those kind of players in free agency.

Hamhuis Hip Check Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Apparently some people here think that any 3rd or 4th ling player we get has to have scored at least 65 points in the last season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJC Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Who else thinks the Krakheads are going to actually be divisionally competitive this year? Some great options for them out there. I think it's going to a fierce rivalry immediately, or at least I hope. I'm actually kind of concerned about their potential in year 1, tbh.

If they don't take Holtby, we can just trade him ourselves. It's already been reported that there is legit interest from several teams for Holtby. We aren't who said we were? But Seattle could next spring if they took Holtby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His faceoff stats may not be the greatest, but it's an area that can definitely be improved on. We have Miller, Horvat and Beagle to take important draws in the meantime. Dickenson is great defensively though and will give the other team fits out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To suggest he's an AHL player at this point shows your complete lack of knowledge of the NHL game... Yawn. I’d sooner keep the 3rd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted July 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2021 Want to extend my congratulations to @aGENT, who will today see his name engraved on the Vintage Cup. It’s a rare feat to beat @-Vintage Canuck- to a scoop, especially a Canucks trade on a deadline day! @aGENT, enjoy your moment in the sun. Who knows when or if it’ll ever happen again? 3 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Since we gave up Toffoli and Tanev for nothing we have nothing to bargain with so don't expect any truly impactful moves. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm you are right, Drance is unusually positive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtman Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I really do hope Seattle takes Holtby or Lind, I'd really like to keep Gadjovich and MacEwan. However that's pretty much based on toughness. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Pretty happy with this trade. Addresses an area of need without paying much, and as RFA we can hopefully negotiate a reasonable contract. Apparently he's a real character guy as well, which fits right into the kind of team Benning has built. His faceoffs aren't great - which isn't ideal, but other than that, I'm pretty happy to have him on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
