A good chunk of our defense is definitely not. Unfortunately. OEL is making over $10M USD this year. Could you imagine if he actually was the #1 top D man he was getting paid to be? That in itself would make a massive difference right now. You complaint was regarding cap space was it not? JR has spent over $14 mill of cap space. So if JR's hands are tied- he did a large part of that to, and by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck You Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I hope it goes in OT. That way I won't feel sooo bad when we lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikheyev has been injured, so not pulling his weight, but also not to blame Kuzmenko has been ok. Dakota has been meh. Aman has been ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between Benning's and Allvin's spending is that Benning way overspent on players. If Allvin's done that I must have missed it?

eeeeergh Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 1 minute ago, EmilyM said: It's too bad Rathbone hasn't been showcased to this point yet. Considering the Canucks have no trust in Rathbone right now, it's sort of a bummer that he was considered too high a price to give up in the offseason when they were rumoured to be in talks for Marino. Yeah, definitely. One nice thing though about having literally all the available bottom pairing defensemen on our roster, is if we do go out and get some upgrades, we can bury these contracts for barely any cap hit. 1. Poolman can be bought out and only 1m/year cap hit would remain 2. Stillman could be waived and nearly 0 cap hit would remain if unclaimed 3. Dermott could be waived and only 500k would remain if unclaimed I do think JR/PA have a strategy this season. They know the real strength this team has is an obscene amount of offensive depth. Picking up Kuz and Mik in the offseason only bolstered that further. Now that all the UFAs have been picked over and there's no talented scorers available to sign, our forwards are actually valuable as trade assets, and we can make a deal with a team that is struggling to score goals. We might have to wait until game 15-20 to really see who those teams are that are going to need help this year on offense. But I'd be shocked if we make it to game 25 without a forward going out, and a defenseman coming in. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about back your words up with showing effort for a full 60, mental fortitude, and defensive awareness? 60 minutes is a really really long time. It’s also be a long time since it has happened. I would love to see that. GCG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that type of hockey trade is unlikely. It's about gaining most value for our guys ( picks and prospects ) and using that as currency to buy defenders. It just opens up any trade scenario with any team willing to sell D vs trying to swap a winger who is only valued by select franchises... all of which probably don't have the D we need haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_theRyper Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 So glad Myers is back, MickeyEve don't know much watched his highlights should help the PK. Myers as overpaid he is for point production still helps eat minutes. Burrough and Stillman have been alright but over use them and it won't work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
