It’s possible that someone else would take him as part of a trade like this one where he isn’t a main piece. The Yotes drafted Miller 111th and took so much flak for it that in October they renounced all rights to him. Couple that with losing their 2020 2nd rd pick last year and their 1st rounder this year as a penalty and my guess is that they want to stay far away from controversy. I still think Jim hopes to move him though and that’s why he’s waiting before the buyout. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason Jake scored more in 2019 is he was used more on the PP, because of injuries. When he's off the PP he slides back into pretty underwhelming production numbers. Green doesn't want to use him over 12-13 minutes typically, and not on the PP1 unless he needs to for injures. Maybe another coach can shelter him more than Green on another team, and maybe they have crappier PP players that we do. Ift thats the case, he likely pops up a bit in production. Does this make sense to you now? There's no point in persuing this conversation any further. You made a prediction that will likely be unverifiable. That's like me saying that he would have scored 30 goals for us but will only score 10 for another team because blah blah blah. Everything else is just you evading the issue. By your post count and posting style, I'm guessing you're one of those need the last word guys. Have atter. Edited July 25, 2021 by RWMc1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheer up Wai Lai. Things are on the uptick. Who cares what JB said a few years ago.? Things change, and it’s better to try to adapt and seize opportunities then it is too adopt a ridged approach. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the part that doesn't make sense, instead of a 7th round pick you don't think Virtanen could of been dealt instead... He needs to be bought out by June 27 so Benning either has to trade him by Tuesday or buy him out. He won't be back as a Canuck. We have Garland and Dickinson in our top 9 now. Virtanen's fate has been sealed here in Vancouver. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 35 minutes ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: I’m optimistic that a coaching staff led by Travis Green will make a big difference. Green is known as a player’s coach, is well liked, and especially seems to maintain good relationships with NHL veterans. Add in defenceman whisperer Brad Shaw, and you have a really good situation for OEL. And certainly any change will be an improvement, as the relationship between OEL and the Arizona staff was really not good the last few years, especially with head coach Rick Tocchet. I hope you're right. One thing that concerns me is that OEL signed his eight year contract two years ago. From what I've read and heard, for the past two years his performance has declined. This raises the thought that he's one of those players who has secured his financial future and is now coasting. On the other hand, perhaps, as you say, he was affected by the situation in Arizona and will rebound in Vancouver. In any event, it's gonna be interesting to watch how all this plays out. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How we opening up more cap? Is OEL at 7,25 better than EP and Quinn AT 7 AND 6 .? Not sure why some don't hold value with 1st rounds? JB already stated 9 very good picks before we got the 9th pick No one was expecting Boeser or EP to make impacts right away, so why make light of this years picks, just because we traded it? I think the last 2 years we have jumped the gun on trading picks for players who won't be of value in 2+ years and would have had no worse result than last year I agree we will be a better team, but what is the objective? I think we lost strength to push us OVER the hump in 2 yrs ,with how things have transpired the last 2 years 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that TBL should start worrying about the “inevitable decline” that Hedman will have in two years and that McDonough is already experiencing? I don’t think so. Defenceman last longer than forwards. OEL will likely be productive well into his mid 30s.

Now that adds even more skepticism to me regarding it, my original gut was what you're saying he's done here I figured for sure his time here was done, but seeing what was involved in this trade I'm a little surprised a guy who's supposedly done with this team wasn't somehow involved in this trade. Which then has me thinking outside the box here a bit now and wondering maybe Benning is wanting to keep him now.... Obviously we will know more by the 27th then I guess.

You can debate the trade but you have to admit that for better or for worse - it was aggressive! Like you I was a little iffy about it but now that it’s done I fully support it and hope for the best. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
