Just take the hit this year and continue course. Otherwise we will have more ongoing dead Cap on the books for more years. A team with no dead Cap in a Cap Era is a wealthy team. Let’s be that team.

Or even Roussel and Beagle in independent deals if there were takers. Patience grasshopper. Lets let these contracts terminate themselves after this season. We aren't cup contenders this year with or without loui. Canucks are gonna have some serious money soon. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more season and we'll be set to be a big player going forward. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, are you ok with us giving up draft picks to get rid of bad contract or you don’t want us giving up draft picks? Or do you change your narrative depending on the argument you are picking up? Or perhaps you think people here only pay attention to a single one of your rants at a time? I'd rather have saved this 3rd in a package for shedding Loui or another bad contract instead of adding Dicki, that's for damn sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has every thing to do with demonstrating to the players that losing isn’t acceptable and that management will do whatever it takes to push forward. This message also needs to be demonstrated towards fans, ownership, and local stakeholders. Doing nothing and having another bad season could lead to a toxic environment just as we saw in Buffalo, Columbus, etc. Guys like JT Miller, Schmidt, and Myers were just brought in to be Christmas ornaments, and it needs to be known that this past season was an anomaly.........and not the 19/20 season.

Like go away already pal I actually don’t even mind if Eriksson kept if Roussel and Beagle are moved. Just find a way to move 6 million. Eriksson is an overpaid bum but he does seem to play quite well with Pearson and Horvat. He’s also a smart defensive player. Just find a way to get rid of 6 million from these three players and build a more competitive team for this coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thinking Miller’s “shocking reboot” comments from after we let Tanev and Tofu go might have something to do with Benning’s efforts now?

Wayne Glensky Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I am a huge fan of this trade as I am a huge fan of good defensive forwards. Our bottom 6 was abysmal last year and this helps solidify our third line. Too bad we couldn’t have picked up a guy like goodrow. Cheap bottom 6 forwards who can contribute both defensively and offensively would do wonders for this team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t stand the thought of LE having anything to do with this team anymore. It pizzed me right off the first time I heard we signed him. Little things. What a load. I made a joke in another thread that he is great for the little things…replacing the empty gum box in the dressing room, picking out the pubes in the shower drain so no one drowns and that he's a role model for other on how to play through injury because his heart died out years ago. I detest his presence. Haha That said, if you look at the big picture, surrendering picks to get rid of a guy who already cashed in on us is truly just salt in the wound at this point and only adds to the losses that equates to him and his contract. It’s not like we’re in the running for a Seth Jones type and totally totally need that cap this year. Next year we will have that naturally, LeLongo (hate to say it but another deal that buried us) is gone too. It’s just around the corner man, try and hang on.

To be honest, I think it was Benning’s and ownerships plan all along that 20-21 was going to be a temporary step back. Letting Tanev and Markstrom go was absolutely the correct decision in my opinion, although the Toffoli thing appears to be a huge gaffe. Last year, all of Eriksson, Beagle, and Roussel had two years left on their contracts and so moving them weren’t options at the time. Also - Gaudette turned out to be a useless turd and so we still needed Sutter in that 3rd C spot. This off season however, I think all three of Beags, Russ, and Loui are realistically moveable if we are using Ladd as a measuring stick. I’d easily move Loui to CBJ, Detroit, Anaheim, or *insert team here with cap space* for what the Isles used to move Ladd. Go get Adam Larsson with that money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only played 7gms last season, so will likely be in Abby for this one. I would rather have Beagle around, seeing as we don't have a homegrown replacement for him. If he's healthy, he's an adequate 4C. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 So would saying this guy is like Roussel in his prime be fair? If so that’s great value for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say we move Loui, clear 6 million, and make serious strides to fielding a more competitive team this coming season. Now more than ever, the players need to be believe that last season was the anomaly (ie this core’s version of 2007/2008), and not the highly successful 2019-2020 season.

My read on it is that he’s a prime Jannik Hansen type guy that can play center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Hoglander Motte Dickinson Podkolzin Highmore Beagle MacEwen I could live with that. I'm sure Benning is going to tweak this even more. But if we went into next season with that lineup I think we would be fine. We just need to work on the D now. A couple of RHD is what we need. Give me some Jani Hakanpaa. And go all in for Erik Cernak and we are done. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
