Diamonds Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 17 hours ago, higgyfan said: Burkie was an awesome GM. Gillis did a good job bringing in some great support for those guys. But it was Burkie's team. Burke did some good things for the club, but don't give him credit for things he didn't do. The 2004 draft was Nonis' first draft. Nonis was responsible for drafting Schneider, Edler, Hansen, and Raymond, for signing Burrows, and for trading for Luongo. Gillis still inherited much of the core, but as you said did a good job bringing in the support pieces to push the team over the top. Our back-to-back Presidents Cup winning teams had key pieces acquired by all 3 GMs which is pretty interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I'm excited to have Boeser back. Based on last year's play the cap hit is a little bit of an overpayment but based on his total body of work I think it's pretty fair. Also, him signing for almost a million under his QO says he really wants to be here. Hopefully he can get some closure this summer on his dad's passing. If he gets back to a 30-35 goal 60-70 point pace I think the contract is more than worth it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with all of this heartache behind him, he will be back playing like that again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted trade protection and would be able to command it with his upcoming contract. It was keep Demko and lose Markstrom for nothing, or sign Markstrom and move on from Demko. Markstrom had no reason to want to sign with the Canucks just to be traded. He was a UFA. Why not just sign somewhere he wants to be with trade protection. Plus people keep forgetting there was an expansion draft. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we signed Markstrom and then moved him? Very very poor asset management previous years.. Love new management team, they will never let someone walk for nothing just look at Motte.. Great job by Allvin signing Boeser 3X 6.6 -- Rathbone 2 yrs X 850,000, Juulson , Lockwood along with coaches busy productive day by management team.. Toffoli was good for 1 season in Montreal and bad the next. Even with Calgary, he was not good. If he were on the Canucks last season he would have struggled like everyone else and we’d all be screaming for him to be traded. Time to move on. Losing toffoli was not a big deal. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a huge deal but he played a significant role in getting the Canadiens as far as the Canucks have ever gotten in their 50+ year history. In Canucks terms for Montreal, that was like being Jeff Brown, Christian Ehrhoff or Murray Craven. All short time Canucks who nobody complains about having acquired and without whom we may not have had our Cup runs. Would Toffoli have been enough to take the playoff missing Canucks that year to the Cup final...probably not. But losing Toffoli and/or Tanev was done in the name of keeping Virtanen and others. It turned out to be a bad move. One I can put in the rear view mirror easily enough though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Okay. So I gave this signing a little more thought. While I'm still happy with the signing, he's signed until he's 28 years old, meaning that he'll be a UFA? Can the Canucks resign him before he hits the market?

He can sign an extension in the last year of his deal - same situation as with Miller/Horvat. Extensions can be signed 1 year ahead for players on multi-year contracts (1 July on a normal schedule - 13 July this year). For players on a 1-year deal it's 6 months before (1 January).

Yeah I mean it certainly looks worse after the stuff that followed with Virtnanen. But the Canucks have been scared of losing the next Cam Neely for the last 30 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Thornycroft Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Apparently Cammy Granato was behind this. Good for her. It's not a fantastic deal based on Brock's performance last season, but compared to what we would have paid, it's a steal. If he's a 30 goal, 50-60 point player next year, it's more than worth it. He just has to stay healthy. Maybe we need a big, modern enforcer. If we can unload Myers for a cheaper, younger player whose primary role is to kill penalties, play sound defensively and stand up for teammates, I'd be all over that.
