We have a vastly improved lineup, and it's not like OEL needs to be carrying this team, only that he can carry his load. He should be fine. Yeah: on paper the team is better; hopefully Green can put it all together and have these guys playing & winning together on the ice (?).

LOL, I was expecting 4.5, but the fact that this contract takes him till he's 30 is really good. Garland is a power forward? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so. But this year zero excuses. A proper training camp etc. No covid no schedule. Better lineup. If we don't make the playoffs TG will probably get the boot unless it's injuries and a ton of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what do I know Not gonna get him at 3.95 considering the production the past 2 years, doubt there are any comparable players that signed for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the playoffs are missed, which I'd be legitimately shocked by, Benning will get the boot before Green does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP Phone Home Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Great to have this kid added to our core and he sounds very much like a Burrows/HoneyBadger type which this team needs more of. Just curious about one thing about the AVV. It’s a good deal for 5 years no question but how much wiggle room do we have in cap space? I might not be a mathematician but we traded 12 million of dead weight contracts and took on OEL’s 7.2 and Garlands 4.9. How much room do we have to resign Dickinson, Petey Hughes and improving our right side D? I’m guessing the 5.95 from Schmidt is coming off but unsure what would be coming back. Are we in good shape cap wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we in good shape cap wise? Nope. We are in essentially the same cap situation we were before the trade. We are better on the ice though. But gettibg rid of Eriksson, Roussel, Beagle, Virtanen, and Holtby and bringing in OEL, Garland, Dickenson, and a Holtby replacement is essentially a wash cap wise. Maybe a mil or two added to whats available for Petey and Hughes. But still need to round out the depth too so ultimately nothing significant was gained cap wise. It is still very much a dollar out for dollar in scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better lineup. If we don't make the playoffs TG will probably get the boot unless it's injuries and a ton of them. Injuries, is the one thing that is hard to project when acquiring player(s) - hopefully, through proper training & etc, we can actually enjoy watching these players play - rather than the last groups of FA’s JB had signed. Imo, a team should be very hesitant giving any term to a 30+ complementary type player cause the style of play that got them an NHL gig (in the first place) tends to be really hard on the body; if I am a GM, I would only offer a bunch of 1yr prove me type contracts - to keep the player motivated (instead of partially being in retirement mode). I like the direction that JB has done (this time) by acquiring & signing complementary players that are entering their prime years cause good chance, the Canucks will be getting there moneys worth this time with Dickenson & Garland - fingers crossed, that the Canucks curse will take a few years off. Definitely, the pressure are on Green & Friends but Clarke & Shaw should offer some hope. Edited July 28, 2021 by ShawnAntoski 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
