If they don't want to overpay, and by a lot, they can go pound sand. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message for Vintage going into this season is Redemption. He's been beaten to the punch a few times, most notably by @Bertuzzipunch and it seems that he didn't like the bitter taste of coming in second. This was classic Vintage, two minutes before Canucks knew they had a deal and probably one minute before Olli even agreed to it. You just can't teach that.

Devron Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 10 minutes ago, wallstreetamigo said: So Hughes isnt responsible for sucking defensively because everyone else sucked too? His agent loves that argument in the contract talks btw. Hughes at this point is a one way player. He needs to improve alot defensively. A year in the AHL would not have hurt him at all on the defensive side. I don’t think it would have hurt him but what does wouldn’t hurt mean? He’s proven he can play in this league so it’s just a pointless stop in the AHL? You don’t think having a success 1st year and PLAYOFFS wasn’t good for him? Short memory amazes me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really hoping Baumgartner would be more closely supervised because he is clearly unqualified to perform those responsibilities. I was hoping Bomber would be given a 'lateral' job change, and by lateral I mean to Abbotsford lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for big things I was actually quite impressed when he did play. Hopefully this offseason he's injury-free and doing some big-time training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t argue with that. It’s like when Cloutier in the coaching system… if he didn’t work well on the ice, why are we trying him as a coach?

Gurn Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Ollie signed for about $250,000 less than I thought. Hopefully Quinn and Elias do the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babalu Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 This is smart on Juolevi's part to take a minimum contract. Gives hime the best chance at playing if the Canucks are up against the cap. Also gives him the best chance at being picked up if the Canucks were to waive him. Either way he needs to play to show he deserves another contract after this year. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year before last we also had better personnel on the blueline and it still wasn't great. But after last year the only path Baumer should be on is a path to the unemployment line. The fact that he has any say in how the defence is run at all is absolutely baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjr Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I hope well for the kid. Seems like we've been working with him forever. Hopefully this contract will allow us to part ways with him easier than Virt. Virt was such a long and fruitless investment. Sure hope this isn't one of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are on LTIR anyways I am assuming we carry 8D all season. He "should" be in our top 8. One would hope they actually make use of the depth and rotate guys in on a fairly regular basis to keep everyone fresh. Schenn should be able to come in and play for Poolman when we need a little more grit... same as Juolevi could swap in for Rathbone.
