I don't think a top 6 Canuck is going to be able to just go walk around Canada Place and visit the coffee shops without being recognized by basically everyone lol.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, that’s the oilers and leafs been doing since the early 2000s. They would still be waiting without lottery luck and getting generational talent. At one point the Canucks needed to go big or go home, because that group has been stagnant the past few years despite high level players. Been a pro-Benning and support this deal but he just put his head on the line. If this turns out just OK short term he’s out and Canucks looking at another rebuild or reset. Keeping the 9th overall doesn’t move Them closer to the next step, can’t expect the Canucks to make a splash and magically be contenders. They gotta make bold move for the next three years, adding slowly each year. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SergioMomesso Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 I am very happy about the trade. Especially getting rid of 3 players who would have got us nothing back this time next year. By the time Guenther would be a difference maker for us, Petey and Quinn might have wanted out after a few more losing seasons. Most of us wanted a change in our D and when it happens, everyone is out for blood. It’s been a long decade of less than mediocre Hockey and I’m not getting any younger. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in denial on what’s coming back. We likely win this trade in the long run. You are over valuing a 9OA and this draft was a crap shoot given Covid, we dis not miss out on a need (Clarke/MacTavish) it was a calculated deal and si far JB is ahead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Arrow 1983 Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 I like this trade. To me this is 5 years for OEL not 6. LE, Beagle and Roussel where all here for one more season now we replace them and get OEL and Garland this season instead. Garland isn't going to sign for 4.74 mill so the Canucks also gain cap space as well. They are paying OEL 7.26 mill but also takes a spot on the roster who can play 20-21 mins. If the Canucks were to acquire a different dman it would cost them caps space. So if you pay a different dman 6mill that means OEL real cost is 1.26 mill. For all those asking who is going to play Defense on the blue line the answer is OEL. I think OEL is better defensively than most people give him credit for he just hasn't been with a good enough team and Demko will be the best goalie he has played in front of since hitting his prime. The Canucks second unit PP just got a major up grade as well. Both with OEL on the back end and Garland on forward. Garland Is the Key to this deal IMHO, and makes losing the 9th OAP possible. He is 25 years old, he is a goal scoring winger who has shown to put up .65 pts per game in the past 2 seasons. All in all this is a trade that they could make they gain cap space this year to sign Hughes and EP and they take on cap space in years they have room for it. JB biggest issue was he had little cap movement this year because of those dead weight contract but had tons of it next year and years to come. Boeser is the only contract that really matters next season to get done and and then Miller and Horvat the season after. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV. Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 3 minutes ago, AllWeatherFan said: The one thing Edler never did was reach superstar status. OEL has been there. Sure, he's fallen off a bit but he still carries that--that's good for Petey Ok, but OEL and superstar haven't been a thing for like six seasons now. At 30 years old, he's likely not getting back there. We'll be fortunate if he performs like an adequate #4. And even if he does that, we're paying him 7M? Between him and Myers, we're spending 13M on guys suited towards the lower parts of the D pairings. Just irresponsible stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilunga Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 6 minutes ago, Cromeslab said: Probly the least scouted draft in recent memory good return for 9oa imo Guenther went at 9 th. According to the reports I have read that Top nine were a bit above the rest. 24 points in 12 games sounds good but it's still only at WHL level. Happy with what Jim has done and believe it will make our team better now and into the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
