I think they haven't given up on Hamonic playing. He may very well come to terms with his issues. Waiving him is a pretty safe thing to do because nobody's going to bite on a $3M cap hit who isn't reporting and it gives them some cap relief. Longer term, as I've posted elsewhere, I think Benning should be looking for opportunities to pick up right side help rather than trying to force the issue. That would result in overpayment imo we don't need a world beater in the role, just someone who can hold down the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a bit too harsh. He's a 7/8 NHL defenceman. Suitable for spot duty only like Biega was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 NAS Myers or Fabbro? BUF Miller or Jokiharju or Pysk? OTT Zaitsev or Zub? Just spitballing on RHD from clubs that may be rebuilding and want to trade for picks and prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it will probably be like when we had Stecher and they will only play 13-15 minutes tops. Maybe a bit less considering we usually had a vet like Fanta/Benn there. I'm interested to see what Juulsen can do. Doesn't look like a great option, but stylistically fits what we need in that role. That said I agree overall the options don't look great, but I don't see much else out there. OEL/Hughes are going to have to log most the minutes as you say. 1 hour ago, King Heffy said: Hunt is a pure AHLer. If he plays games for us this year, we're in big trouble. I think he's a legit depth NHL guy. At 7/8 on the depth chart he's fine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats about 4.225 million in available cap space. Manson is only 4.1 million with one year left. The Canucks have drafted well enough to be able to afford to part ways with another 1st imo. I know many will disagree, but we’ve drafted and developed at an elite level when you consider the fact that Horvat, Demko, Boeser, Pettersson, Rathbone, Hughes, Podkolzin, and Hoglander have all made this team. Klimovich will likely be here in 1-2 seasons as well. OEL-Manson Hughes-Poolman Rathbone-Myers Is a solid Defense. If he doesn't report to Abby can his contract can be terminated? I respect his choices but it's obvious Benning would have approached the off-season differently if Hamonic wasn't signed. I to like Manson but have heard he has a 7 team NTC which might mean no Canadian teams? Plus the cost would be high. Maybe it's me but our defense wasn't really the big issue in camp unless it was the reason our pk struggled? I worry more about Demko, he seems to be a slow starter and maybe should have had a couple more games since we knew Mikey was Abby bound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a lot better than our other current options IMO. Why hasn’t he landed anywhere then? Do you think it’s Personal reasons if it’s not for his playing ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 2 hours ago, aGENT said: Demers is the obvious UFA option if there's no concrete timeline on Hamonic OEL, Myers Hughes, Poolman Rathbone, Demers Hunt, Schenn *Unless they feel there's someone suitable on waivers. He could probably be had cheap at this point too, if he doesn't grab a seat soon he'll be left standing with his hands in his pockets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 We’ll if we take some cap money and we throw it on a fire weve replace hamonic for this season.

Maybe he was hoping a specific team or two team would give him an offer and he's been rebuffing other offers? Could be a litany of reasons.

KirkSave Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Curious what the price would be to get Josh Manson out of ANA. Final year of his deal, tough RHD who shouldn't cost a tonne to get. (He does have a 12 team no trade list). Hoping Hamonic is able to return for us at some point and that everything in his personal life will be ok. As it stands our RD is super thin and a glaring weakness. Demko will need to channel his inner bubble boy if we want a shot at playoffs. Thank goodness the P. div is shaping up to be the weakest in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Calgary is going to crash and bang burn this year and we will poach Tanev back from them in exchange for Schenn and a 2nd round pick once they start selling off and finally embrace the rebuild.
