Canucks Curse Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 he is a no. 4/5 d man, so <4 million would be appropriate. Agree with a Soucy-Hronek pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boziffous Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 He's put up respectable #'s being a 3rd pairing defenseman his whole career. Would he be able to handle added minutes if he was to be on the 2nd pair? Even last year, he was the #6 d-man for Seattle based on avg ice time as he averaged just 16:18 per game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlastPast Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 For a team that struggled to kill penalties, do they really want to add a player that is going to cause them to spend more time on the PK? Soucy is an elite penalty taker. He's not that young either (29 in July). He's an option but some of these numbers being thrown around are a bit rich. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soucy will come cheaper in term and cap hit compared to Graves, so I rather go with the cheaper option as long as the term and cap hit are reasonable. We could go the trade route to get a D also, maybe someone like Edmundson out of Montreal in a deal around Beauvillier?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go cheaper, but it depends how much you save versus the value of the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 If this is true, and there is mutual interest between VAN and Soucy, then heck yeah. But it's speculation right now and there's probably many other teams also interested. Need more than that Dhali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Soucy and Nemeth and our LHD would be solid. Bring back Schenn please. Hughes-Schenn Soucy-Hronek Nemeth-Myers I'd be really happy with this D-core. Tons of size and nastiness to go with it. The 2 offensive puck movers are top tier (Hughes and Hronek).

DownUndaCanuck Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I really like him but he doesn't consistently play 20+ minutes, he's a bottom pairing guy on a deep team. He might step up but also like Dickinson/Poolman, he might not be good enough. Hope we're in on some bigger fish. Soucy is one of the best bottom pairing D in the league but he'd be a pretty average 2nd pairing guy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I'm very interested in the idea of this player, but very nervous he could be getting a Guddy type deal to do scarcity in the market this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you realize how much an improvement having a pretty average 2nd pairing guy would be for us, as we haven't had one in 10 years. 3 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeeeergh Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 42 minutes ago, DefCon1 said: How would that work? We don't have much cap space after Soucy unless we are getting rid of salary in the same trade We have tons of space, and will have more Poolman and Pearson are LTIR. If not, Poolman would have been bought out (500k cap hit for buyout). 12m for: 1. Soucy (3m) 2. Reilly (3m) 3. Carlo (4.1m) Theyre not done yet either, still too many wingers, one is getting moved. Even if it means some retention or attaching a pick. Though I think if its Beauvillier we wont have to part with much/anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Soucy but more as part of a bottom pair, possibly with Bear or someone like him once Myers moves on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Pearson and him fought last season and I believe Pearson injured his hand the same game (I don’t think from the fight). Soucy was that guy starting shit in the bubble playoffs with Minnesota. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I do like Soucy more than Graves because hell be cheaper. I don’t mind a 2 year 3M contract, something short term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Soucy and a 3C would be really smart usage of the extra cap space the OEL buyout gave us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
