higgyfan Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Stillman should be waived so he can spend time in Abby. Playing at the slower speed in the AHL would make is easier to work on his game. Myers needs to have a defensive savvy player as a partner. Burroughs is a good fit for him. I like Bear with OEL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. I think he could pass through waivers given his level of play recently. Looks terrible if he's claimed and no doubt, many fans would use the sunk cost fallacy to condemn the move, but the reality is, we have better options than Stillman in Burroughs for sure, and maybe even Rathbone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Sounds like he's still in the lineup after that stinker, wow, management must be forcing BB to play him to make the trade not look so bad on them, there's no way any coach would let that slide... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 This trade was a fail. Should have been a trade for a higher quality vet dman. We don't have the luxury of developing this guy. We needed a pay and go player, a player right out of the box. If management is transparent on anything, they'd be honest and jump on this grenade. Total waste of a 2nd round pick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total waste of a 2nd round pick. I don't disagree with this. But I don't believe we could have gotten a 'high quality veteran defenceman' for just a 2nd alone, not to mention we probably wouldn't be able to afford the cap-hit that would've come with that type of player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the 2nd with another player like OEL or Hogs, or a package of some sort would have gotten us more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, except OEL has NMC. But yeah, if management could trade OEL without adding a deal-breaking-sweetener, that should definitely be explored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzuto&hatoum Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 To paraphrase Jeremy Piven's "10 Years! 10 Years!" in Grosse Pointe Blank, I give you "5 Seconds! 5 Seconds!" for Stillman. What a brain dead decision last 5 seonds of the period last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Arizona be willing to trade Chychrun for OEL? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I thought Stillman had a decent 1st half. Made a couple of solid hits. He struggles with net front pressure. Loses body position. Both he and Meyers were chasing puck carriers inside the d-zone as far out as the blue line. They have to be coached to do that. I am assuming the forward is supposed to back them up.

OEL will be next to impossible to move? Remember 3 years ago he would only except trade to Boston or Vancouver? Knowing that coyotes have a player they want to move in OEL, Benning should of been in demand of this trade? We sent 3 players with expiring contracts in 1 season? Vancouver send 1st rounder -- second rounder in deal ? Take back OEL X 7 yrs at 7.5 million - Coyotes retain 1 million small amount to get deal done... add Garland Vancouver lost this deal in a bad way! No way should Canucks should of had to add first and second round picks.. We trade 3 bad salaries 9 million expire in 1 year ? OEL 7 yrs X 7.5 ridiculous????? They add Garland We add 1st rounder and 2nd rounder... We take OEL 30 bad salary 8.2 reduced to 7.2 million X 7 yrs...Still doesn't make sense to me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of years back the Canucks D played man on man which meant they followed their man where ever, pretty succefull to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
