JeremyCuddles Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 43 minutes ago, Junkyard Dog said: Yeah. Peeke has 3 years left at a cheap contract, the same time Jiricek’s ELC ends. Serves as a stop gap for Jiricek and even if he outplays early you got a fairly cheap Right Side that plays more than they’re worth for 3 years. I have never envied a bad team as much as I envy CBJ. Embarrassment of riches in the RHD department. Must be nice to actually draft d-men with 1st rounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 From a Canucks perspective, this was really a non-story ... just a bunch of "could" ... "can" ... "possibly" ... more speculation on whether it was possible the Canucks could be in on him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedman thought Severson would like to play in a city like Vancouver. Crazy stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, there was apparently no interest from our side to sign him. Although I wasn't against it, til I seen the cap and term. Oof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's manufactured news. An attempt by Rick Dhali to appear credible. Yeah, that cap and term is major oof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Puck sucker. No interest. Only a moron wants him. And Benning is no longer our GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know why people think he’s so special here. I don’t think he’s Poolman but I’m rather get Boqvist. Sure Peeke is big and right handed but his price is probably at its highest. I’d rather a young guy with top 4 potential that’s been so unlucky with injuries his trade value is probably at its lowest. Boqvist should be the guy we target. I doubt we’re in on either with our cap space situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even discussed the Peeke for Garland proposal, which someone texted in. The point they made is that a good partner for Hughes is mostly about IQ/awareness, not just size. And that Peeke is big, but not overly physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like Peeke is what he is but with Boqvist the injuries have held him back and he still has top 2 potential. But it’s like us building up our winger depth and while I think Podkolzin is good enough to play in our middle 6 he’s in the AHL. Boqvist won’t get the opportunity especially with their other young guys knocking on the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Love how all the Canucks rumoured plans are disappearing. It’s for the best. Signing guys like Gavrikov and Severson to big inflated deals is a bad idea. And we need to upgrade on Schenn. If they wanna fix the D it’s through smart trades like the Devon Toews or Marino ones, and long term through drafting D men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think many of us are hung up on adding big, shutdown D, but turning a winger into ANY useful defensemen seems like a good move now.

I doubt we’re in on either with our cap space situation. Prior to his concussion issues though, Poolman was a solid 2nd pair, defensive D with good skating, puck moving, PK etc. We could use one or two of those guys. Are either the "ideal" long term partners for Hughes? No. But there's be a better fit than Boqvist, and the nobody we presently have.

Drakrami Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Absolutely funny reporting. Went from Friedman "thinks" Vancouver could call about Severson, and he "thinks" Severson would be happy to play for Vancouver... to Vancouver is pursuing Severson. Severson wants to play here too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
