Popular Post Wolfgang Durst Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 One of the worst trades in Canucks history. - only 12% retained of OEL's contract , that's a joke - 5.10 , 165lbs smallish forward - our 1st round pick involved - Roussel, Beagle + Eriksson contracts just one year left, could have wait one more year, but no , Canucks are IMPATIENT and RUSH THINGS OEL ' albatross contract is the worst thing what could have happened to VAN.

Putgolzin Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 5 minutes ago, DSVII said: The other part of this trade will be interesting to keep an eye on. Connor Garland if he turns out good will take the sting off having a depleted farm system the next two years. Most of the reason the farm system is depleted is because of how many of our prospects have turned into nhl stars so quickly 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogy Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 12 minutes ago, Maddogy said: Not a fan of this trade although I appreciate the motivation and logic. This trade transferred all of the risks to Vancouver. Is Ekman-Larsson going to play well for Van? How much will Garland sign for? This trade is a GAMBLE for Vancouver. Ekman- Larsson is not a RD. He came off another bad year. Garland is tiny and may not perform well in the playoffs. Vancouver has arguably overpaid by throwing in the 2nd round draft pick. Nonetheless, I still think J.B. is a decent G.M. He is pretty average, not bad and not great. I'm trying to be fair in my criticism. I would add to my previous post in quote that although I still think this trade is too much of a gamble and the 2nd rounder is overpayment, I am very glad that Vancouver is not losing any young players/prospects in this trade.

If Buffalo got that from Philly! I go out for three hours, and WOW! JB, you did good. OEL, and Garland both rumoured to be on the Canuck radar are here. 3 contracts gone, and with the Sedin influence, maybe OEL will get out of the country club atmosphere of Glendale, and into hockey mode again.

bishopshodan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 1 minute ago, Fred65 said: The only redeeming feature might be is if JB has another FA signing to come. As it stands now it's a disgrace. Think of this we decided not to sign Tanev for 4 year $4 mil contract and then we sign OEL who's best years are behind him for another 6 years at approx $6 mill. Get real, we'll trade Schmidt for a 2nd or 3rd. When is this going to stop. This rumour that JB is moving to Seattle ( JB family lives in Portland) might be a case of messing with the Canucks for years to come LOL as he leaves You're wrong Fred. Wrong.

But I guess your thoughts on the matter are more important than reality I'm sure. Man that movie about you is true, you really are mean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra insurance is the key to winning. In true Loui fashion, his first ENer will be on opening night as it slides into the back of his own net. He will spend the rest of the season seeking redemption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Harold Drunken Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 35 minutes ago, Chris12345 said: Not sure how I feel about the trade. OEL is aging, soft, and pricey. Garland is good. Seems like we traded garbage contracts that end soon for a garbage contract that go on forever? Plus the 9th for Garland. The team is without question better today, but I feel once again caught in the trap. I was hoping for a big snarly dman. People on here acting like OEL is an old man...HE JUST TURNED 30. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post J-Dizzle Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 I love how people are talking about OEL needing to bounce back….. he had 24 points in 46 games last season. On the Coyotes! 3 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
