If you don't successfully rehabilitate an injury, you aren't going to be back at the level you were once at Hell, even fully rehabilitated players sometimes don't ever reach their top level again. Stop being obtuse here, please. You forgot to quote the rest of the article: The NHL's shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic was a huge letdown, but it at least allowed Ekman-Larsson time to get back to full strength. "These 2½ months have been really good for me," he said during a conference call this week. "My knee is feeling 100 percent and I've been able to get stronger and faster." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxVerstappen33 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The Canucks taking a big contract from the sun belt. This reminds me of Ballard and Booth. Hopefully this isn't the token boat anchor contract on the team. But everyone has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to pay to get. OEL's contract is the pay on our end in this deal. 2 million retained isn't painful and the deal wouldn't have been done. But people will forget this really fast. And will hate this contract with all of their heart in 6 months Edited July 27, 2021 by LolClarkson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeNiro Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 This is the problem with fans in this market. There will be people waiting for OEL to have a bad game or a bad stretch to say I told you so. Its as if confirming their own beliefs about Benning and certain deals are more important than the performance of the team. Fake fair weather fans that should do themselves a favour and cheer for another team. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like combover, scottdzik, squamfan are just itching to talk about how crappy Benning is as a GM. If OEL doesn't do the trick, it's gonna be someone else. 100 percent. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johngould21 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Does anyone think that the 2011 team was a D full of heavy hitters? Edler maybe, Bieksa, maybe, Salo not really, Hamhuis, not really, Errhoff, certainly not, Rome, maybe, but he was a 6/7, Tanev, no, and Ballard played 2 games in that run I think. We all have that dream that we're going to trade/recruit for a crunching defenseman, they're hard to come by, but their careers aren't long either.

From what I’ve seen on Twitter he’s been offered a 7 x 7. Maybe all the Swedes on our team and the Sedins make us an ideal destination? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Landeskog, would be a REAL ALL IN MOVE IN FA TO MATCH THE YOTES TRADE; if it happens it will be up to Shaw/the staff to come up with a system that utilizes the forward group to support the (inexperienced) D core - if they decide to go with OJ & Bones as cheaper options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
