Provost Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) There is going to be a crop of interesting players who don’t get qualified. It is a no brainer to me for us to pick this guy up for a $1 million or less contract to play in the bottom of the lineup or be a 13th forward. Great marketing play as well.

aGENT Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Had a more concussions than is like but if the $ is under the waiver amount... Could do worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly it… if he can be completely buried if it doesn’t work there is little risk. The upside would be a big physical local boy who is a really good 4th line centre when Beagle goes.

Could do worse. 1 year 1 mil? sure why not. The Canucks probably get that back in jersey sales, they'd probably open a pop up store in Surrey. 1 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoman Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Haven’t we been down this road before? Ferland? Concussion issues are too hard to predict. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 We've already got one fairly high profile player who is/was battling concussion issues, not sure JB goes down that road again knowingly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Have always like the way he plays. I think as low risk depth signing would be a nice add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I really like Khaira, 27, C/ LW, 6'4, 215 , TOI 12 mins would be great on 4th line tough games move up lineup .. Sign under 1.3 million X 2 yrs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patel Bure Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Pass from me. Injury issues + he’s not exactly among the toughest guys in the league if that’s what we’re going for. Didn’t Brett Ritchie KO him last year? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therodigy Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I don't mind a 4C/13 Fwd signing at $1.25 Million or less. With the cap crunch the Canucks face, these are the kind of signings that will need to be made to maintain flexibility. Injury? LTIR. Underwhelming play? Waivers with full cap relief. Claimed? Not really a loss. Unclaimed? Much needed centre depth in Abbotsford. He's not Andrew Copp or Warren Fogele, but I'd rather Khaira than Sutter, even at the same price point.

komodo0921 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Khaira, imo, makes a lot of sense. Big, physical, and versatile. I see him as a fourth line winger who can move up to a third line role to cover for injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenhodgejr Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I always liked Khaira but he bit off more than he could chew in a couple of fights. Not sure if he is an upgrade on Zach MacEwan at this point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKNuck96 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Don’t see the point, yes size is important but only if they play well using it, this would just be a wasted contract space 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Would love Khaira on this team somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 We just signed a guy with concussion concerns in Ferland, I'd rather not repeat that, even on a smaller scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
