Not only that, but the top guys are faster, stronger, quicker … so it’s completely understandable why sutter would be so out of breath at every whistle, trying to shut them down. So I wouldn’t say his conditioning is poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post coryberg Posted July 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2021 Insane value on this deal. Last year he had -55.5% face off percentage -took only 1 penalty and drew 9 -scored 9 goals in 43 games(that's 17 over 82) -had 14 giveaways but 23 Takeaways -71.9% of his shifts were in the DZone All this while averaging only 12:12 of even strength ice time in a shut down role. 3 3 4 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy he's back in this role, at that price. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how any Canucks fan could hate on this deal for Sutter. This is incredible value. He should stay healthier too with less hard minutes. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect squamfan, for example, to be a fan of anything of this team because of his constant negativity. I have never seen him praise the cheap contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He he, never liked Sutter's deployment on our team until the bubble playoffs but he showed his value there. As a shutdown 4c with fast wingers it's hard to argue with this signing at 1yr/1mil and good on him for sticking with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They watch and follow the Canucks to criticize the team, the players, the management, the coaches, the media, and real Canucks fans. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Yay.. Sutter knew only way to stay was to finally take a contract he is actually worth... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I would argue he took a contract LOWER than he is worth. Maybe it was to stay in Vancouver, maybe it was to repay the team for not living up to his contract, but either way I gained more respect for him with the signing. Any time a player leaves money on the table to do what they feel is right is a classy move. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels refreshing as the guy's a great hockey player, he was just overpaid. He deserves more love. Nah the haters will still blame him for not being cheaper sooner and will still use his old cap hit when talking about his performance vs contract 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I think he was just as good as ever last season. He went from being horribly overpaid to underpaid - I figured he would get closer to 2 million. Glad to have him back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term "foundational" player, 4.25 for 4 years and injuries are why people turned on Sutter. He is class and more than good enough to be a solid 4th line center and locker room guy at 1.1. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re on a team for five years… you’re kind of “foundational”… Our kids are ready two to three years early and counting. Goad Sutter knows his place in this organization.
