IBatch Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 19 hours ago, HKSR said: It's really unfortunate that Sutter got hit hard by covid, otherwise, I think Sutter would have been excellent as a 3C, and Dickinson would have been a winger on that line instead... I really think we miss Sutter more than we believe. Our PK probably would improve a lot with him out there. Absolutely. Motte Sutter Dickenson on paper looks too be one of the best 4th line shutdown lines in the entire league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he got traded for the first time in his career, to a team that was struggling, and then had a coaching change. There's a decent chance he'll be improved next year. Since this year most likely is a write-off, it makes more sense to just to hope for improvement rather than spend assets to get rid of him. Although I agree with struggling because of the reasons you've pointed out, he is a pro making solid dough, playing in the best league in the world - he should act like it.

fanfor42 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 In 2018 Benning signed Roussel and Beagle to multi year deals at 3M per. in 2021 he finally got rid of them and in a flat cap covid environment went right out and signed Dickenson and Poolman to multi year deals at 2.65 and 2.5M. Good grief what a bonehead. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this day that Toffoli goes to Calgary so all 3 of Markstrom Tanev and Toffoli are now in Calgary and Vancouver received zero for any of them, zero. It is a day to not pull punches on how bad Benning was at his job. That sequence after the bubble ranks right up there with the Cam Neely trade as one of the darkest periods in Canuck history. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller expressed it publicly, right? He pretty much said similar to you. Was that because of Benning or our owner though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Wish we kept the pick and just signed an actual bottom 6 center with that cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-walker Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 I think we should get rid of Dickinson and free up that cap space. You can get 4 Luke shen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Im curious about Dickinson’s value around the league. Production is def. down, but he’s versatile (C/W), a big body, decent skater, PK option. Maybe a re building team might see a need for him, if the cost to acquire is low. Re-sign Motte/Lammi/Highmore boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Miller, Hughes and Lammikko have increased their point production this year While Motte and Highmore are almost exactly even with last year, and people LOVE those 2 guys Dickinson is 9 points off last years total. While Boeser is 21 pts behind, Bo is 12, Garland is 10 the guy has a career high of 9 goals what do you seriously expect? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the record, I have nothing against him personally. what I don't understand is what you are seeing that says he is not trying? serious question, do you have examples of him floating, pouting, infighting? all I see is a guy drafted too high with hands of stone that is mi-cast as a center and top 6 winger a first rounder who was fairly traded for a 3rd a guy who probably slots in well for Motte or Highmore, but not Lammikko or Sutter, definitely not higher than a 3rd line winger at best there are 2 lw and 2 rw spots on the roster for this guy, 4 positions he has rarely played kind of a cross between Oreskovic/Mathias/Virtanen (without the party/sex habit) maybe kind of a Gauncer, bit of a scorer in Jr, but not really good at anything in the NHL, so they try to make him a hitter/D specialist, which he is not. you sound like you have something against him personally and for the record, I willn't shed a tear when he goes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
