So, only because he signed a "show me" $1 mil contract last year, you suddenly think that is his real value? That was a deal in COVID world with his family needs in mind. Based on his skill set, pedigree and current market values, $3 mil/year is a fair price for Hamonic and for the Canucks. You are still entitled to your opinion, though, no matter how misguided it might be :-) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes and Tanev didn’t get primarily matched up to shutdown every game I don’t think? Edler did a lot. isnt that like saying you partner with an offensive /pp guy you become an offensive /pp guy too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 9 minutes ago, stawns said: Why would you want Hughes in a shutdown role, playing against the top offensive players every night? You want to shelter him from that, not seek it out Perhaps "shutdown" is misleading in the most traditional sense. He would be expected to cover for Hughes, anticipate possession changes and shut down anybody trying to break out behind the play. This allows Hughes to pinch and go deep while not being AS concerned about losing his defensive positioning. This is why Hughes and Tanev worked off each other do well, yet Tanev was clearly our shutdown guy. Same thing here. We need that ability, but it also has to be a guy who doesn't completely ruin the cycle game. He doesn't have to put up a lot of points, but has to work well in the system and in the role he's expected to play with Hughes. I assume Hamonic will be that guy.... who does just fine with not killing the play but isn't exactly the big shutdown specimen I think would have been ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post N4ZZY Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 Jeez. Some posters on here never happy. Like literally always finding some kind of fault for everything. this off season has to be one of the better ones in recent memory for Benning. He’s been aggressive and smart (for the most part - hate the term in Poolman). 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need a “metric” if you watched any games at all last year. The entire team team was a mess due to no practice time and Covid. The stats mean very little. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
