KyGuy123 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 No matter what you’ll get more than a 5th if sellers at the deadline for depth RHD to a contender. This is a no brainer. You retain and if he plays well you get a 3rd round pick or even a second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 A 5th for two players with money being played is worth a shot.To me I think we needed something but time will tell if this was worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 4 minutes ago, AV. said: Arguably, yes. Why make a trade that you know won't improve your team or help you compete for a Stanley Cup? Newsflash: no one KNOWS that a trade well be guaranteed to improve a team OR help them compete for a cup. They hope. But there's a lot of chemistry and hot cold streak stuff that you can't pencil in. Unless you happen to get a #1 pick then maybe you're close to a guarantee...all the rest is a crap shoot. Even with the best of armchair GM's out there. Even they lose the hockey pools some time. Submit your resume though, you just never know. Hope that helps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind bear, but this is more of what they already have a lot of........it's not going to make much difference He's just another third pairing guy, maybe a top 4 tweener at best imo. I don't see him moving the needle but I understand why they brought someone in given our injuries. I'd have grabbed someone off waivers though, but I guess this management group thinks there's upside. Maybe there is, we'll see. Doesn't address our top 4 though.

Isn’t it more than Bear and also I don’t think we had 4 defencemen injured at the time Myers was on waivers. Could be wrong though. I like a good story and Bear is a great story especially the way he was treated in Edmonton. I hope he brings it when we play those guys. I’m rooting for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's too inflexible. And he refuses to change tactics. That makes him predictable. That's why he gets to the dance, but never gets a cup. I liked Quinn a lot more as a coach. The most accurate description of AV out there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His historical PIMS at all levels speak to that. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/ethan-bear ok by me, id rather have the forwards that are frequent fighters as it doesnt short hand the D for 5 minutes. from what Ive seen he can handle himself if push comes to shove..which is a positive. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_BOI_pete Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Just now, AV. said: But am I wrong here? Did Tampa Bay not improve once Miller was dealt? Would a history book not demonstrate this in plain sight? Likewise, would a history book show vast improvement for Vancouver or would it simply show "DNQ" beside each season, bar one in 2019/20, before Miller and after Miller? They only got better when they traded for extremely cap efficient players. I would say the real trades was the one for blake coleman, David Savard and Barclay goodrow trades. the fact that Vancouver traded them the first to get Coleman is largely irrelevant to them winning the cup. Vegas was going to trade a player for a 1st to make cap space anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The last couple of trades does remind me of MG trading for players.He brought in players that seemed to have not made it in the NHL but gave them a shot.My hope is one of the last two makes s big slash and sticks around.

Nucker 67 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Looking forward to seeing Bear in a Canucks jersey. He sounds excited to be joining the Canucks, similar to Lazar's enthusiasm. This is an opportunity for him, so I think he's going to come in and work hard to stay on the team. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bear, always thought he was a good dman but sometimes make dumb decisions on the defensive side. However, I still support a scorch earth rebuild. But if you scorch the earth the bear will not have a home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4petesake Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Damn this is embarrassing! I just learned we lost the Spencer Martin trade even though we got him for zippo (good ol’ futures.)

Western Red Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I'm intrigued by Bear, will reserve any kind of judgement on this trade until the new year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with a lot of what you post, and you know that. But as soon as anybody disagrees, you pull this same lame crap. Tell me, what is the real reason you defend a known troll like poster AV? What do the kids call it today? Showing off your righteousness or something. Glory boating? Christ I said something about panties and you went off! Still upset that I mentioned some sexism in one of your previous posts huh? Well I apologize for hurting you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This idea that I'm somehow upset, frustrated, disappointed, etc. are simply false and contrived ones from other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
