buddhahoodlum Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I think OEL just doesn't have to suck for the next 4 years for this to be a win. And really if you look at it, it's the 9OA and a 2nd round pick for OEL AND Garland. As much as I like Beagle and his work ethic we all knew he wasn't in our plans long-term. Looking forward to puck drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson's new deal is good Ryan Miller was a good signing. When I saw Miller go after Martin beating up Stetch I knew we had a beaut on our hands. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson-3C UFA-Podkolzin Motte-Dickinson-Virtanen We would have a ton of options with that lineup. I thought that Jake's best games last season were on the Horvat - Pearson line. His defensive numbers were pretty good as well and he was starting to do the right things away from the puck. We could play him and trade him at the deadline if there are no takers right now.

The problem for Jake is that he is our 7th best winger now. In fairness I am real high on Podkolzin though. I really don't see any way he plays in our top 6 barring a few injuries.

Looking forward to puck drop. Someone like Loui Eriksson at 6 million is utterly useless once he was no longer good enough to play in the top 6. All of a sudden an overpaid guy who can't score playing in the bottom 6 is an atrocious contract. Defenceman have more value by default. Ekman Larsson just has to be one of the best 6 options the canucks have to be useful to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how this team is shaping up, more grit and scoring. Was thinking Demko is probably pretty happy with them bringing in OEL as well. I’m thinking Demko was pretty happy when word of Brad Shaw being an associate coach reached his ears. Proper defensive systems will lessen the shots he sees. 51 minutes ago, NUCKER67 said: And I believe Benning is still trying to bring in another physical Dman. Maybe in a Schmidt trade? Hopefully. I wonder if Schmidt and Virtanen would be enough to get Manson out of Anaheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't see any way he plays in our top 6 barring a few injuries. We have many options now. A couple of decent players will have to be waived. This will make the players work even harder to stay on the roster. I think that the competition will push our players and make the team better.

Good context - hoping that the deal works out long term cause the deal mainly hinges on OEL regaining his form. It seems lots of tweakings are still to be done till puck drop in the pre season.

If both OEL and Garland don’t have good years, and we could have kept the 9th + been done with all three of those contacts, would be hard to justify the move. That being said I am a fan of this Trade could be a huge W for the Nucks. Definitely a big shake up. Never hurts to bring in a ex caption to the locker room and can be the mentor for the younger dman on the roster I don't think so. JB has built a solid core here, any peripheral missteps were inconsequential. From here forward is where he will be judged and I'd bet he's got 3 solid years of cushion to prove his worth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you elaborate? As far as I can tell he might not have been happy in AZ, but his play certainly doesn't seem to show it and the numbers back that up.

Tough to beat that Kings team then let alone going in with less than your full squad. Only get so many kicks at the can as that window will be only open for so long as history has shown. Perhaps I used the wrong word. Edited July 24, 2021 by NewbieCanuckFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
