What would you pay Bear then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would laugh so hard if Calgary signed Benning to be their next GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's 2 years, I can see his agent asking for closer to 2.5M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 20 hours ago, HKSR said: We'd have the better player at a position like 3C (given we save $2M to put towards 3C). Could literally be the difference between Ivan Barbashev as 3C vs David Kampf. I would actually rather have Kampf. Barbashev is really more of a winger than a center and his faceoff stats are pretty garbage. Yes, Barbashev brings a bit more physicality and scoring, but Kampf actually has a lot of experience as a match-up center and does the job well plus can should still provide around 30 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're taking it too literal man. The point is we would have more to spend on a quality 3C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's 2 years, I can see his agent asking for closer to 2.5M. I have no problem signing him to a 1 year deal if it comes at a reduced price (less than 2.5). Ethan will be 26 next year with 5 seasons under his belt. He is what he is... a 20 point, smallish, 2 way dman that does everything well but nothing great. A decent #4 or a good #5. I'd rather not buy UFA years (as in overpaying) for a player who has clearly plateaued. We aren't going to find gold in this mine.

Really...Stats would or SHOULD make you change your mind lol. This guy didn't wanna stay here. Why would we want a player who rather stay in Russia. He would be nothing but a distraction for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we want a player who rather stay in Russia. He would be nothing but a distraction for this team. Last time he was here we iced complete plugs over giving him a better look that's why he left and he did almost come back but Benning took his sweet time kinda of like with Tanev Toffoli when he chose Virtanen over our best D and second or third best winger and went and signed Poolman and crap. If Benning had half a brain tryamkin would have been back after his first deal when returning to Russia. I think it's fair to say I would take Nakita Tryamkin for a short term deal over Ethan Bear.. tryamkins highlights from Russia show he still has decent speed and that nasty we desperately need. At a way cheap price he replaces what we needed for the last five years from Myers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 i don't think bear will re-sign with vancouver for anything less than the qualifying offer 2.2mil.. i mean why would he sign for anything less?? if the canucks don't qualify him i'm sure there'll be plenty of teams that'll offer whatever the canucks are offering undering the qualifying offer.. and if he plays great.. they can flip him at the TDL for free asset even if it's a 3rd 4th or 5th round pick.

Can we Qualify him at 2.2 for next season? That might be ideal if we could. Then he's an expiring contract and has value at the 2024 TDL if needed.
