SilentSam Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 If his contract was so bad for him he would have changed his agent .. Can’t skate, he even can’t even read his own contract or the ramifications of it. Lack luster player looking for an excuse.. im actually looking forward to watching him play for Arizona.. especially at home in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I’m still laughing at how bad the three legged Coyotes will be this year. Seriously, Benning was able to dumperoo our three crap contracts for their best forward and best Dman. I hope Shane Wright can speak French, because he’s going to be playing for the Quebec City Coyotes next season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman64 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Cry me a f'n river, LE quote from twitter: Loui Player Name on finally leaving the #Canucks : "I have wanted to get away from this for a long time, there is nothing to complain about, but since my contract was so big, it was difficult. But of course it would have been fun if it had happened a few years ago" Well no shi_ Sherlock, all you had to do is waive you NTC and you could have been gone! could the guy be any more insulting to us??? Unbelievable! Edited September 5, 2021 by iceman64 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 So glad he is off this team. You can’t make that much money and not do anything. He was such a sponge that retained all its liquid, not breaking a sweat once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper007 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 This is already being discussed in the trade section. LE isn't a Canuck anymore so shouldn't be even on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable! I don't find any offense to what LE said to be honest. He even prefaced his statement by saying, "there is nothing to complain about." Also - I don't think it was a matter of LE unwilling to waive his NTC, as much as it was LE's contract simply being unmovable barring a huge sweetener. While LE was vastly overpaid as a Canuck, I actually liked his defensive game and board work. He played very well on the Pearson-Horvat line in 2019-2020 and was a significant reason for that lines' success. If LE had been making 1.5-2 million, I wouldn't have had any issue with his game. He was a black hole offensively and had lost a lot of his skating ability, but his smarts, defensive play, and board work was still pretty top notch. Having said that, I'm glad that we were able to move him. Edited September 5, 2021 by Patel Bure Player Name! Player Name!

FFS, we literally have a gif or whatever its called used in a negative way. Glad we improved the team and moved on from him but unlike a guy like Baer he spent 2 months in the bubble even tho he knew he was likely the 13-14th forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The debacle with Louis famous interview maybe was a strategy from Benning and Louis agent to see if a team showed any interest. More beliavable than anything you write. The real reason for Loui not be traded is the 6 mill and that Benning not wanting to eat 3 mill cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the way the fans and media were pretty tame on him considering how badly he disgraced the franchise with his pitiful excuse for effort. No reason for anyone to respect a lazy piece of trash who doesn't care about winning. Loui was so deluded he thought he actually belonged in an NHL lineup, and cried to the media when Green put him in the press box where he belongs.

Also he signed the contract so he knew there are certain expectations on him considering the money and term the team offered. If he was upset at the media or even the fans he could have agreed to terminate his contract and continue his career in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree his words are being taken out of context. However, he was treated poorly by the fans and media for good reason. The moment he put pen to paper, he forgot how to play hockey and work hard. At 6m, I'd say that's pretty clear grounds to generate scrutiny and disappointment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Happy we don’t have to see another year of LE. I rank him the worst Canuck ever, slightly worse than Messier. We saw Messier’s 3 years of ineptitude, laziness and overpayment while LE gave us 2 additional years of that. Messier proved to be an anchor with top end players Bure & Mogilny while LE did the same with the Sedins. Messier was a distraction with the media but we saw more stories with LE (seemed daily). Messier was more overpaid due to inflation but there was no salary Cap at the time and the team suffered more with LE (cheap/broke owner not withstanding). The only thing Messier has on LE was unjustly becoming a Captain, when he was never a leader on this team. I will not be upset with him being a part of Linden extraction. That was the best move in franchise history. Linden -> Bertuzzi (best power forward in Canuck history) -> Luongo (best goalie in Canuck history) -> Markstrom Linden -> McCabe -> Sedins (best players in Canuck history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
