joe-max Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The problem is that they now don't have a single Finn on the roster. Don't like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent : my 4th liner client wants a 3x3 ( meaning 3m over 3 years ) Jb: 3m per over 3 years. Done! Agent : uh, yeah thanks jim haha. A small but very important detail!

Gronberg will like his tenacity no doubt. I as well. I liked his game and think as a big body, he still has some upside. I would of liked him here, but I understand experimenting with upgrades.

TmanVan Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 1 hour ago, Mustard Tiger said: Another prime example of how low our standards our. Many of us figured he's a good 4th liner. Nobody else in the NHL thinks that clearly I think one problem with the previous regime is they often targeted players that were way too similar. The thought process being: This guy kind of plays hard, and can kind of forecheck, and is kind of fast but not really, can maybe score some goals but not really, is kind of undersized. Sounds like our whole 4th line last year plus Dickinson, and Poolman on the back end in a way. Also reminds me of Granlund, Baerstchi and Juolevi. They paid some of these guys for the "maybes" and "kind ofs" and hoping they would develop their "overall ok at lots of stuff" game. The new regime has seemingly a different approach that targets more stand out attributes. Mikheyev = crazy speed. Dakota Joshua = Size and grit.

Yea - I would've liked him potentially as a 13th forward or call-up, but definitely see Lazar as an upgrade for the team in a few ways - even though they have comparable general stats, Lazar: 1. Team had a much better SH SVP with him on the ice, even tho Juho had the benefit of Demko in net. Canucks desperately need PK help 2. The physical side of the game - Juho has a lot of tenacity, but Lazar is bigger and throws his weight around way more 3. Right-handed - luck of the draw for players themselves, but Canucks needed another right handed player who can face-off - even tho Juho was good on faceoffs last year Even tho Lazar isn't a *huge* upgrade on paper, those three minor things are definitely worth the 150k cap hit increase IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great place to live, Zurich is directly located next to a beautiful lake. 2. Swiss league is a pretty good league in Europe. I would consider the league to be within the top 5 in Europe (SHL, Liga, DEL, Swiss League, Czech League). 3. will make more money in Switzerland than in other leagues in Europe like in Germany in the DEL. Good decision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Lammi did a good job for the team last year, but the team upgraded to Lazar (thankfully.) I didn't want to see Locks lose his shot at the 4th line, so I am happy that Lammi was not re-signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 He was serviceable but replaceable here. Better for him to play closer to home and get paid well instead of the AHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering we're still mired in the results of a lot of Benning's work, and likely will be for many years, that shouldn't be surprising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people are still whinging about Gillis being the reason our team has sucked for the last 8 years. I think folks get a pass on complaining about Benning just a few months later when the team is still in the midst of trying to fix his messes.

48MPHSlapShot Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Surprised he wasn't able to find a job in the NHL. Seemed like he did a solid job on our 4th line last year. Wish him all the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
