If he is, MacEwan and Podkolzin bouldering around could be fun to watch. Podkolzin is excellent defensively for his age. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any bad deals done "to save his job" would just make him unemployable by the rest of the league. Just like Gillis, after JB is gone from the Canucks I don't see him getting many shots to rejoin the NHL. He is among the worst active GMs in the league, at least by the numbers. 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland is one of the more underrated players in the league and should fit in well on that 2nd line. I know people give OEL a hard time but he’s not nearly as bad as people make him out to be. He still has a lot of game left and should give the Canucks two solid pairing options even if we end up moving Schmidt. More importantly however, the Canucks move all of their dead cap off the books. Miller-Pettersson-Boeser Garland-Horvat-Podkolzin Hoglander-Dickinson-Virtanen Motte-Graovich-Highmore OEL-Schmidt Hughes-Hamonic Juolevi-Myers Demko Holtby Pearson ?

Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 JB is feeling the pressure of having a losing team. Look at Buffalo, you can't let that culture of losing take over no matter what. Picks are all well and good but if you can't create a good team around them, they're useless and they're going into another rebuild now. JB has balls, give him credit, he's sick of seeing this team lose despite creating a good core and now he's supporting that core with stars. Hats off to him, love or hate the trade but he's not just going to sit and watch these young guys lose and miss the playoffs over and over again. 4 1 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 If Benning had been replaced, no chance this deal happens. He essentially traded one year of cap issues for 6. Its a save his job trade clear as day. And probably also shows just how clearly the players and owners are getting sick of losing. Having said that, this trade is not nealy as bad as I thought it would be. Losing the 9OA was what I always expected the price was going to be to move dead weight. To move 3 bad contracts out and get Garland back suggests to me it is worth it at this point. My concern comes from the defense though. We do not have even on eguy who could be considered a true defensive dman. So another few moves need to be made. One of Rathbone or Juolevi will likely be moved now. Hopefully we get full value. Still no one to play with Hughes though. If this is the first of a chain reaction it will not be a bad deal overall. I am not a fan of Benning (or OEL tbh) but I am witholding judging this trade too harshly until we see how he rounds things out around it. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warrchief Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I am extremely excited for this deal, I think OEL will flourish with a new system and coach. Garland will look beside Horvat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can swing a long term deal with one or both of our stars right now because of it, that could offset some of the later OEL money as the cap starts rising and inflation making the max deal cheaper. Watch Garland rip it up and OEL return to form. ALSO WE ARE BACK TO MEETING OUR SWEDISH QUOTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
