5nothincanucksohno Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Garland is a great pickup. Canucks now have a legit top six in Miller, EP, Boeser, Garland, Bo, and Hogs. I assume Hogs can also play LW?Third line is now legit in Pearson, JD, and Podz.Still need to work on the fourth line but given the lack of CAP JB should stay within the lines finally hahaThe forward group was poor last year and that hurt the team defence. With a better forward group and Demko in his second full season, I expect a better overall system (Shaw), which should help the defense.Defense is now OEL, Hughes, Rathbone, Schmidt, Juolevi, and Myers. They still need add another piece. I think the should keep Schmidt...tell him to suck it up and that he only gets traded when his value improves haha OEL is a risk but hopefully he regains his love for the game over the next two years 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say ignore the slide rule geeks and enjoy the fact that the team is going to be better. Benning ain’t done yet. JB had to make the team better for self preservation! He also had to do it for the good of the team, can't just have the team tread water for another year, it's not good for the young guys! He clears the bad contracts, brings in 2 good players, Seth Jones signed for $9.5M, so OEL is over $2M less, what else was there out there that would have allowed him to clear the contracts?! He'll now make another couple of deals, clear some more cap, sign EP40 and Hughes, and then add some more pieces, something like that. This really had to happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kragar Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 4 minutes ago, JustNazzy said: I absolutely love this trade if it was anyone other than Benning that made it. Roussel, Eriksson, and Beagle were all signed by Benning. If it were another gm that came in and cleaned up Bennings anchor contracts I would love it. He is the one that caused the problem in the first place, so I find it hard to pat him on the back and say "hey what a great trade". It's kind of ridiculous when you think about it. How the hell does it matter who brought them in? You grade the trade based on the current value and potential. Even if you didn't like the moves that brought Loui, Beagle and Rooster here when they were made, it's ridiculous to dislike this trade because JB brought them in and has now moved them out. If JB made mistakes on those three (and I think that they can only be called in hindsight), it would be a mistake to not fix the situation. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyM Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 6 minutes ago, canuck73_3 said: Shocking the exact posters that I thought would whine about this trade have showed up to whine. We got rid of the 3 contracts and “useless” players they whined about having and brought back 2 good pieces for them. What more do you want for “useless trash?” I think that’s a shortsighted victory though. Sure, we got rid of three (self-imposed) bad contracts, but they were going to expire at the end of this season anyways. Now we get to worry about an aging defenseman past his prime on the books until 2027. I would’ve rather focused on signing Petey/Huggy and went all-in next summer when our cap is freed up and without having to give up 9th overall. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made us ready to compete. And dropped a pile of garbage contracts and freed up spots and cap. All for a projected 2nd line winger who may or may not be bust and no one will know for years.

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? Not excited about LE signing but I was excited about the trade for JT Miller. Canucks are relieved to dump three contracts and are happy to pick up a young talented winger and a skilled defender. I think that this was a great trade for our Canucks. Time will tell who’s right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Just going to weigh in that for me this is a game changer in a good way. Cleans up all the dead weight in one deal. Adds a solid number 1D and up and coming top 6 fwd. Eriksson is gone. MG. that is freaking amazing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
