Coconuts Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Good for him, it's tough to stick in this league as a fringe guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 6'2", RH center with a 56.4% faceoff percentage... could've used a guy like that. Good for him and the Caps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hes really carved out a good career for himself. Too bad he didn't show more here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier (relatively... I mean anyone able to hold down an NHL job deserves props) to play a depth role on a deep contender where you don't have to shoulder as big of a load. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he's being overused, if it's a bad fit or what, but in hindsight I know I was happy when we acquired him, so no problem from me on that deal.

RakuRaku Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Oh man... Nic Dowd got size, right hand shot, plays C and RW.... he only managed to score 3 goals in 40 games for us... then with the Caps, he suddenly found his scoring touch!! Was it the coach or all him???

The Stars are a better defensive team than the Canucks overall, so that should surely be a factor in Dickinson's numbers. I'm not Good for Dowd. I didn't mind Dowd in his only year with the Canucks. He didn't stand out or anything but again, that team was pretty bad, including depth players, so it's hard to fault him for not producing more. Wasn't bothered by the Canucks letting him walk but I could also see why commentators contrasted Dowd's contract with Beagle's since the only major difference between them was that Beagle had won a cup and had a lot of "intangibles" but at more than 4 times the cost.

You're underestimating what teams are prepared to spend on a quality bottom six center who wins draws, plays reliable defense, and who just won a cup. It was the perfect storm for Beagle. We're really missing him this season. Wouldn't have been surprised if he had multiple offers in the 2-2.5M range.

Good for him and the Caps. His career would’ve been over by the second year. He has received proper guidance and training in the Washington, with the right amount of excellent coaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet Benning decided to pay for more Actually a 3 million Beagle for one year right now sounds a lot better than a 2.6 million Dickinson for 2 years. Not saying Beagle's deal for the Canucks was any good it's not. But looks like Benning got rid of a bad situation and put the team to an even worse one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I was a big fan of Dowd when he was here. I saw the same thing when we acquired Motte and I'm seeing it again in Matthew Highmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
