Rindiculous Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 2 hours ago, BPA said: Yeah. But mainly taking about our high priced players underperforming. Myers isn't afforded top PP minutes anymore. And if his best game is to be Defensive Defenceman...$6M is a tough pill to swallow (in the sense of trying to keep the forward group together cap wise). If we allotted that 6 mill to someone else, I don't think they're getting any PP minutes either. Guess what? We're filled with offensive talent and having a guy who has been one of the best defensive defensemen analytically this year is a fine use of that 6 mill. Plus without any PP time at all on a team that has been terrible offensively, he's still on pace for 25 points this year which isn't bad at all offensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bure trade basically boiled down to Bure and Hedican for Jovanovski, who the Canucks just lost to free agency with no return. Burke: Gagner was the key part of the Bure deal. If he wasn't included, I don't make the trade. Interestingly enough, after his playing career ended, he joined the Canucks and was the key scout that told Gillis to give a contract to undrafted prospect Chris Tanev. Burke was a genius!

Why would anyone want to trade this guy? Glad to hear that Rutherford sees it as a priority to re-sign him.
