JeremyCuddles Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Harrington was once a highly touted guy. I am guessing his speed just isn't NHL level? Or something. His numbers aren't terrible. Point wise and underlying. Struggled the last couple seasons but prior wasn't a terrible bottom pair guy. I'd maybe look at taking a flier. We need a 3rd pair left D. Since it's 4 RDs on the blueline right now. But again, that's just going off the numbers. Maybe there is an eye test thing I don't see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Neither are a good fit for this team. Thought we may have taken a chance on Nash. TB got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Brad Shaw should have an idea whether or not Harrington would be an upgrade on any of our current d-men, no? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Perlini has size and skates well. Should be more useable then Chiasson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Harrington please. I even posted a proposal to trade a late pick for him. He's the perfect fit for our third pairing as a reliable lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Harrington has a cap hit of 1.633 mil. Can they fit him in under their cap. When you see how many decent players go through the waiver wire you start to understand why you shouldn't have to pay more than league minimum for the bottom part of your team. 2.65 mil for Dickenson and 2.5 mil for Poolman is high. The term is ridiculous. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Perlini was on fire in the preseason. Oiler fans were getting excited. Then the real games started. I guess if Shaw likes Harrington, they may make a claim there. May be better than Burroughs playing his off-side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I don't see either player being able to offer anything of use to this team. Perlini has nice size and decent speed but if he hasn't been able to produce with the Oilers I'm not sure what he would bring to the Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term is ridiculous. Exactly this. For several years the NHL market has been on a youth kick where there are really decent veterans without landing spots to be had every year late in the summer for low dollars and more importantly low term. Pro scouting should really be focussing on extracting value from these guys, especially since they can be flipped for assets at the deadline if things don’t go well. That extra $1 million each on a few depth players adds up to a really good top of the lineup player. It could turn Pearson into a $6-7 million dollar player. Or Hamonic and Poolman together into a real solid top 4 guy with a steady 3rd pairing player like Schenn playing for cheap. As I think Button said, it didn’t make sense for a Benning to corner the market on 3rd pairing D. Leave the bottom of your roster for your own kids to earn spots and good value veterans on $1.5 million or less deals with 1-2 year terms.

BPA Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'd wait to see how Boudreau deploys the team for a few more games. Then he can advise the GMs (Smyl and co) he wants and dislikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
