I imagine our locker room is going to be a lot lighter too. And people though Miller was the cancer. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxVerstappen33 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Another desperate GM throws an anchor to his team on the way out the door. 8.5 million is asinine. Maybe not Logan Counture. More like Scott Gomez 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn’t played a game for them but willing to sign an 8 year deal? Thanks for all the memories but it was time to move on. Sadly I wonder if a deal could have been made last summer when management lowballed him with a 5.25 mill a year offer. If they came in or were willing to go around 7 mill for a 7-8 year contract he probably would have signed that. I mean nobody could have predicted quite this good of a season but his numbers were bound to go up a bit by not having to play with Pearson on his line anymore all season. He’s actually getting to play with good offensive producing players on a more regular basis. I would have guessed at least a 60 point season maybe 65. With everything he brings offering him 5.25 was such a slap to the face lol. Edited February 5, 2023 by flickyoursedin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winthecup Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 An overpayment for Bo wouldn't have been so bad but the Canucks already have too many players on the books that are overpaid. Too bad it didnt work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was about the money he would have just gone to free agency and made more from the highest bidder. This seems like the opposite. A team believed in him enough to trade for him, so he felt an obligation to sign a deal. It makes perfect sense. He was offered what he hoped for in total dollars with the 8th year being the key. That’s the equivalent of $9.7M over 7 years. He wasn’t getting $10M in FA 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Congrats to Bo on getting that contract. Glad the Canucks aren't paying though. Hopefully he can take the Isles on a few deep playoff runs -- after we get their 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Congrats on the 64m payday to the contrat year play of Horvat, you are now the enemy though as you no longer play for the Canucks, best of luck enjoy your yearly snow storms haha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad it didnt work out. This is more than an overpayment though. An overpayment would have been our last offer of 7.5 x 7. This is just drunken sailor money being thrown around. Which Lou is not normally known for. He just be getting desperate. 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Isles just matched what the highest bidder would've been, and added a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 6 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Wow good for Bo! He maxed out there. I doubt he could have gotten more anywhere else. I know Isles fans all think it was gonna be a win if he re-signed. But they’re in for an awakening when he’s not a 50 goal scorer every year. or they look at the standings as the years of Bo's deal go by and they keep missing the last wild card spot and the Canucks keep trending into a winning team. Bo wanted to join a winner lol. Islanders are old, few prospects of note coming, cannot compete in their division let alone will likely be falling short of wild card spots over the next half dozen years while the big boys maintain and Buffalo, Detroit, and Montreal start trending into Playoff teams. I wish Bo all the best, happy to see he got the financial security he wanted. But he is going to endure years of missing the Playoffs. He could have taken his pick on a half dozen good, I mean good teams in the offseason but what only got 7 years term ? he got his money but for his career it was a huge mistake on the ice. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Well, good for Bo. That's a rather bad contract for the Islanders though. He'll be another wealthy hockey player that never wins a SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DJSkingz Posted February 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2023 Like a lot of other posters here I love Bo and everything he did for this franchise. But man! Did we dodge a bullet. In no reality is he worth $8.5Mx8 for his historic production. Best of luck in NY Bo and I will continue to cheer for you but I am so glad management moved on and got a decent return for an expiring UFA. So refreshing to actually get something back for an expiring asset. Not used to that feeling as a Canuck fan. 3 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Just now, Mustard Tiger said: Every Islanders reporter is suggesting that from what ive seen. Insane commitment prior to ever seeing if the chemistry is there though lmao It's more money than I'd have been willing to give him and I wanted to keep him, 8M would have been my hard line imo. 7M would have been a bargain imo, I was arguing it'd have been fair back in September. 7.5-7.75M could have been livable. If Bo goes there and plays legit 1C minutes I wouldn't be surprised if his numbers got a bit of a boost from what they've been here tbh. He never had an opportunity to be one here, Henrik was 1C til he retired and the season after Pettersson stepped in and took off with a Calder winning season, it was pretty clear Pettersson was going to be the team's future 1C if he could put it all together and keep it going. I hope he has success over there, won't be surprised if he does. It'll be interesting to see what the folks painting him out as an "elephant" have to say if their envisioned "country club" continues going forward, they'll need a new scapegoat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not too crazy to think he could score 35-40 goals regularly here in his prime with barzal flanking him. i don’t think it’ll be anything like a Gomez situation. Still frustrating we probably could have signed Bo to 6.75 x 8 or something if we didn’t sign JT first 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
