I love the haters who think every player should sign for a deal. Glad Canucks didn't over pay for zadorov and Lindholm. Would have been crippling
@gordonmacdowell81172 күн бұрын
Loved it if we could keep Zadorov but not so much that I wanted the Canucks to go into full on Benning signing mode for a 4-5 spot defenceman. The deals Vancouver did for big blueliners on free agency are about right for that role.

They made smart moves today. No Hail Mary passes were necessary. We don’t know where Lekkerimaki and some of the other AHL guys are in their development and we could see some surprises. At the very least, the Canucks will be miserable to play against next year. Nobody is going to want to play us. Steve Dangle was celebrating the DeBrusk signing because he hated Jake for all the times he made things miserable for the Leafs.

It was interesting that it was the Bruins that signed both Zadorov and Lindholm though. They must have a scout staying up late and watching a lot of Canuck games.

This Canucks management team doesn't mess around. They did good work today. DeBrusk is a tougher goal scorer than the other ones they were rumoured to be after and younger. If he plays with Pettersson he should fill the net, since he's a guy who can score, even in the playoffs. We looted Boston pretty hard in free agency today, also grabbing Forbort (another giant penalty killer on the blueline) and Heinen (solid penalty killer, born in Langley). I'm pretty sure Quinn Hughes is happier having Sherwood on his team than hunting him down in the forecheck for the other team. They also got Jiri Patera from Vegas, but I expect that he'll probably play in Abbotsford, unless our goalie whisperer identified him as a good backup option.

@@jbainbridge22 DeBrusk led the Bruins in playoff goals this season and scores clutch goals. He would have been a more expensive signing, but he was playing with an injured hand until close to the playoffs, so his goalscoring dipped a bit for the regular season. It's a great signing.

I like the signings the Canucks made today. They picked up some gritty players who play the game with heart and intensity. I daresay spreading the money around like this is better than pushing all the chips in on a player who's only scored 40 goals twice in his career (Guentzel).
@richardwanbon3087Күн бұрын
They made the moves they had to make based on who was available and I like that they are staying away from the cap so they can bring the younger guys up as needed. The reality is that they have cap issues for another 3 years at least, so their hands are tied somewhat. They're going to have to hope that Podz and Hogz step up in a big way until Willander, EP-D and Lekkerimaki are NHL-ready.

They need to do something more. I would argue that the team the day the season ended compared to now: Top 6: Worse Bottom 6: Better Defence: Worse Goaltending: Worse
@roundnround365Күн бұрын
How much were Zadprov and Lindholm paid? Answer: $7.75 m USD's for Lindholm until he's just shy of 38 years of age. Answer: $5m USD's until Zadorov is going on 36 years of age. What planet do you live on? The goaltending depth is better. Top nine scoring is balanced as Lindholm brought little. Bottom six is faster and can score. No Mikheyev boat anchor and Lafferty's contract is also gone-$6m USD's. Canucks still have 4.5 m in cap/LTIR to bring in another d-man.

We went all in with Zadorov and Lindholm acquisitions last year and it almost got us to the semis. I would agree that we probably aren't as stacked at the moment, BUT we still have money left to continue to load up during the season again. Clearly this management group is FAR better than any previous group we've had. If you don't know that, then you haven't been a Canucks fan very long. I absolutely believe a cup win could be on the horizon.
