I also didn't feel we had the right guy to play with him, but with OEL perhaps I'd need to rethink that part, but for me, the priority is, if not OEL with Hughes, the right partner for Hughes and I don't see Hamilton being that guy (and we don't need a #1 pp quarterback, either). I think with Hughes, Rathbone, Juolevi, OEL and Schmidt (as well as Myers) - the Canucks have puck movers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WHL rocks Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 OEL desperately needed a change of scenery on a new team. He'll have better talent to play with here and will be motivated again.. I look for OEL to have a great year. He's going to be very good for us. Garland right shot winger is a 75 pts player next season on Horvat's line. He played at 65 pts pace this last season. He's just coming into prime playing age. He will help Horvat be better and score more points. Garland is already at where our 9th pick would be 4 or 5 years down the road. Great trade. 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cuporbust Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Seriously, everyone around here has whined about Beagle roussel and erriksson s contracts for how long ? We get rid of all three, plus add a 25 year old winger that had 39 points in 49 games on a horrible team, and the teams top 4 d man captain with salary retained for a first , second and a 7th. Still not enough? Shut the F up IMO Edited July 24, 2021 by cuporbust 8 3 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrissex95 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 MILLER PETTERSSON BOESER HOGLANDER HORVAT GARLAND PEARSON DICKINSON PODKOLZIN MOTTE ??? ??? OEL SCHMIDT HUGHES ??? JUOLEVI MYERS DEMKO ??? We should sign a RHD like Hamonic for two years to wait for Woo to be ready, if he's ever good enough to play in the NHL. Jurmo will probably play in the AHL at some point, I guess he tops out as a middle-pairing guy. We've got Juolevi, who has some untapped potential. I don't think our team can continue to stock up high draft picks, collect prospectsa and hope for the team to just get carried by the kids. You can't just have a bunch of kids on your team, this isn't Pittsburgh in 2006 the league has changed. If you want to win, you need a mix of vets and players just reaching their primes or well before it. Demko, Rathbone, Hughes, Garland, Hoglander, Pettersson, Boeser and Dickinson have yet to reach their prime. We didn't have the defensive prospects to fill in that defense with homegrown players so we went out and traded for them instead. Think about this realistically: We traded a first rounder this year and a second next year to get rid of $12 million in dead weight while brining in a contract that has a ton of term left on it. OEL has shown that he's a fairly durable player so he can probably play well like Edler until he's 35 or 36. The cap will be higher and we'll probably gain some prospects in 2022, 2023 and 2024 that can replace the veterans that Benning has put in place. Like Cheveldayoff in Winnipeg and Bergevin in Montreal, I see now that Benning will be here long haul if this team makes the playoff next year. Although a new GM would be nice, I'd rather the team win and if we get some hits on some future picks the team will stay competitive.

Canadian Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Would everyone be okay with an opening roster of something like this? Trade Schmidt and Holtby, bring in a cheap back-up goalie, bring in a couple right-sided defensemen for depth ----- maybe a better trade (but cap space is limited).

Popular Post billabong Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 Can we just take a second to acknowledge the fact love him or hate him, benning acquired a top 6 winger, 3rd line centre and a top 4 defenseman while dumping ALL of our dead money. he paid a price but looking at what other teams are paying it’s in line with everything else. THE ROUSSEL, BEAGLE AND ERIKSSON ERA IS OVER PEOPLE!!!!!! that’s addition by substation right there people 2 3 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Does anyone that is excited about this now, remember being excited about LE being signed? I wasn't then and i am not now Hopefully OEL doesn't score in our own net and be the next LE 2.0 where fans are always saying buy out for years to come Arizona is relieved to be out from that outrageous contract and not worry about signing Garland This is not a Pat Quinn type move to make the team better We bought high once again, and with little in draft picks for awhile, where will the talented cheap players come from?

oldnews Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) 38 minutes ago, Tom Sestito said: Hey, no explanation still. Just more deflects. One of us also admits when they’re wrong - Like I did on Motte (also the only thing I’ve been wrong about which is why you’re going back to it even though I admitted I was wrong on it) The other one just keeps on going. You're operating under the delusion that I have some kind of responsibility or onus to 'explain' myself to you or answer to your straw nonsense. If you weren't starting from utter knee-jerk absurdities - calling the guy a third pairing defenseman, slow, soft, etc - I might bother to 'explain' why I don't 'hate' him like I allegedly do Subban (another absurdity - I have never suggested, implied or anything resembling expressed "hate" for Subban). So - there's a second response when I said I wasn't going to bother- but now I'm truly done. If you want to understand my take on OEL you'll have to read the many posts I've made regarding him (including an overdone rumour thread from last year).

khay Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 6 minutes ago, ilduce39 said: This Garland kid seems like a real beauty. Adding him and Dickinson plus Podkolzin really rounds out the top 9. Moving out Beagle also opens up options for 4C… personally, I’d like a super discounted Sutter but I’m excited to see what happens. Entirely new third line + top pairing D with some shrewd moves. IN: Garland, OEL, Pod, Dickinson OUT: Eriksson, Beagle, Roussel, Edler OEL still has a positive value, if not for his limited trade list. Garland, Dickinson, and Pod complement the roster: speed, skill, feisty, forechecking, and hard to play against. 9OA would have been an impact player down the road but this trade + Dickinson opens the window to compete for this team right off the bat. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
