Warhippy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I mean it's a good AAV for a guy who was an average 40 point player. Kinda fell off a cliff the last 2 years though. Still not terrible at all for a top 4 RHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nolan Patrick draft could have been a game changer for them. I really have no interest in that team just a though 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Honestly i would rather Myers at 6. This guy is trash in the D zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Pretty much bang on for a RHD like that. I expect any top 4 RHD capable of 20min+ a night and a regular contributor to be about $4.5 to $5.5M AAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 These new contracts are coming in lower (or am I just wishfully thinking)? Pay attention Brock! If you want to stay on the team, you're gonna have to take a pay cut; we can't afford to eat the QO. I notice too, that even though this RHD is not the best, they did not want to let him go. Rare birds, these top 4 RHDs. Hamonic and Myers are big tough customers on good contracts, imo. Poolman may be too; he was showing well before he got hurt. It would just be so nice if we had a True #1 RHD, but we're dancin' with da girl what brung us for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it looks like to me is that the top tier elite players are getting more, and the middle class tier of players are getting less. The Pietrangelos and Hamiltons got the huge pay days, but most, if not all of the middle tier guys got $4 to $5M (give or take). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 They paid a ton to get him, so they weren't going to let him walk for nothing. He hasn't been as good as Philly hoped (no one there has been) so there likely wasn't many trade fits without taking a significant loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 the one interesting thing to me is he did take a little bit of a haircut from his last deal. Brock? Brock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made huge changes and still sit where they sit. Canucks are fine moving forward in my opinion. Move a couple players out and in. Keep our picks and carry on. We are competing right now.

He could be in a change of scenery type trade. They want to change things up a bit. They traded for Ellis to play with Provorov but he got injured 4 games into the season. Would expect him to be back next season and that should help stabilise their top pairing. They are expected to trade Giroux this TDL - haven't seen anything for next season but could see a situation where he re-signs in the off-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 This is a really, really bad signing. I know when guys here on CDC were talking about wanting to get him, I was SOOOO hoping not. And now seeing this really leaves me scratching my head. Heck, this is making Myers look like a sweet deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly is not They have a great D core but they have had tons of injuries and their forward depth has not been up to par. Carter Hart has not emerged as the elite goalie they thought be would be at this point either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
