Is that the guy that played defense for the Canucks against the Golden Knights without Hughes in the lineup and came out with a convincing 5-1 regulation win? Is that the guy? …..OEL….. This isn’t hockey. It’s the sh!tonrichplayers sport. PATHETIC. Edited April 7, 2022 by Me_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King of Kings Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Looks like OEL is playing better whenever Hughes is out of the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 So off topic ... I was listening to Canucks central and they did some interesting numbers on LE. And his Even Strength number per 60 apparently is pretty decent and with 17 pts in 62 games. Would anyone be here be open to sign LE in the offseason at a league minimum? He could slot in with Highmore and Lammikko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could slot in with Highmore and Lammikko I'd be open; however, I don't know why I'd choose him over other potentially good 4th liners. There tends to be more of these type of players available and it's also a position where we could even give our prospects a shot. So, would I be open? Yes. Would it be the move I'd make? Probably not. I'd also question whether or not LE would even want to come back. I can only imagine how he felt when he was here. That being said, that's an "outside looking in" comment and maybe LE actually liked it here to wants to come back. I just know that, if I were in his shoes, I doubt I'd want to return.

He could very well benefit from a "Bruce, there it is" moment of coaching, assuming Boudreau were to come back next year. Stranger things have happened, after all. I mean, that's why I pretty much eluded to that in my post with my "outside looking in" remark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could slot in with Highmore and Lammikko As a pure hypothetical, I’d have no issue with a team signing Player Name at league minimum for one year. It’s zero risk and can easily be waived/demoted. Decent chance he could outperform that type of contract. However, on this specific team, I’d probably prefer using that roster spot and contract slot on a younger player with potential, rather than bringing back a 37 year old Loui Player Name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougieL Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Imagine what we'd have to PAY to get off the OEL contract. The fact that ARZ insisted on us adding a second round pick, and the fact that we paid it, still boggles my mind to this day. What a horrid trade this was in every respect.

MeanSeanBean Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 This was the trade that started to really crack my unwavering faith in the Canucks management. Hated this trade when we did it, still hate it now. Oh the memories. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated this trade when we did it, still hate it now. Oh the memories. Oh to think we’d be out of these commitments right now and have Dylan Guenther. Also be out of the new albatross contract in OEL and Garand whom I like but for some reason Bruce throws him on the 3rd line and sits him in the press box in favour of Brock Boeser. Then there’s the probably would have never let Tanev walk if this trade never happened and that right side defence looks a lot better. OEL does what Tanev does but from the left side and at double the cost. Don’t know what management was thinking on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really his fault though, probably made that post one handed, while waiving a flag on the side of a highway somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
