Those players were all largely good this season. It was the bottom 6 that sh*t themselves and a D core that can't pass the puck to save their lives. We got rid of 3 bottom 6 bums, got a 15 goal scorer to help depth scoring and a top 4 d-man that can actually move the puck. It's a major improvement already. The addition by subtraction of moving out Eriksson and Rooster alone is pretty massive. As it makes room for guys like Big Mac, Highmore and Gadjovich to take some prominent bottom 6 roles. Then you factor in we got another Pearson in Garland. Got a puck mover in Ekman Larsson to take the load off Hughes and add depth scoring on the blue line. I mean, come on. This is all mostly self explanatory the fact it needs explaining is kinda bonkers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that 9th OA pick could have been anybody! It even could have been a Conor Garland, you know how much we've wanted one of those! We'll take the pick please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 I think we have different definitions of “long run” because that OEL contract doesn’t look like it’s going to help us an iota in the long run.

Popular Post Sharpshooter Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 All Canuck fans who don’t like the trade have to understand this one simple point: Selecting 9thOA, wasn’t going to ‘make or break’ this team. Calm the &^@# down. We got rid of some really bad contracts which are worth their weight in cap space and we got a reclamation top line Dman and a solid upcoming top 6 or at worse top 9 forward. We’re up, not down. 3 2 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFerguson Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 1 minute ago, AV. said: 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. I get that. The question was how can OEL be a better mentor to Petey than Edler. My response: He's a swede who knows what it is to be a superstar. He was also captain for a reason while Edler seems a little more, keep-to-himself-ish He's better mentor material for Petey than Edler, that's all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Is this the vindication of Benning? Maybe the Habs implode without Webber in the line up and we can pick up Toffoli for a 4th rounder at the TDL and all will be saved. The Canucks go on to win the cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dirtman Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 People whine about our dead contracts, so JB gets rid of them for next to nothing. Same people complain that he should have waited. People whine about our defense needing to improve, so we get OEL for pretty cheap. Same people complain he should have gotten a better return, while ignoring the insanity of Seth Jones that just happened. The team needed this so bad. Now the kids get to play, the bottom 6 is significantly improved, and OEL gets a chance to prove how good he is. You think a guy of his character won't play his heart out now? Please. So excited for next season. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentorship didn't do anything when we signed Beagle and the Bums to 4x3 contracts. Not sure what a few seasons from 2012-2015 will do to help Pettersson out. If you believe that makes a difference, all props to you. Can't say I agree, however. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
