Caboose Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Good for him. The RHD premium I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanucks25 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 They probably see him as their #4 in the future. This would obviously be a great price if he can play that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Wait wait wait, is CDC finally realizing that the Poolman signing wasn't as bad as initially reacted???? 1 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Excellent for VGK. I thought he was one of VGK's better defenders in our series against them back in the bubble. Good value for a good defensive and possession guy. Might even develop some offensive upside as the years go on (that's if VGK doesn't trade him like they normally do with all the players they re-sign). Much better than what some other teams gave out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetterssonOrPeterson Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Great deal. Honestly, I think for Vegas, the city really sells itself for players. Imagine being a multi-millionaire sports star in a city like Vegas. Sounds like fun to say the least.

Ilya Mikheyev Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Seems like GMJB may have set a precedent with a full-time NHLer, consistent, bottom pairing RHD who can play top-4 minutes at times with the Poolman signing. Been a big fan of Whitecloud, would have loved to see him in Vancity. Six years is a long time but 2.75 is low risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a big fan of Whitecloud, would have loved to see him in Vancity. Six years is a long time but 2.75 is low risk. I think that bar was set way before the Poolman signing. RHD who can play top 4 minutes are very hard to find. Look at how much we need to get a guy like Hamonic in the lineup. Having Hamonic around greatly helps Poolman and takes away some of the hard minutes from him. Myers, Hamonic and Poolman will actually be a solid right side for us. Our biggest issue right now is finding a LHD to replace Rathbone who needs to go to Abby to refine his defensive game. Hunt is not an NHL'er so Benning will need to make a trade to upgrade that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_19 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I remember Whitecloud causing a lot of problems for us during our playoff round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there's been a premium on RHD for a while, but were we really seeing deals for 2.5-2.75 (indexed to cap) for 4+ years? It was more solid top-4 guys getting big deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
