Schaller-Beagle-Motte has been our best 4th line in a long time so he did have some value. Maybe not $1.9mil worth though, I can agree on that front lol.
After seeing all the comments and reactions the things that make the most sense are:
- Benning is all in to make the playoffs (self preservation)
- Need a winger to replace Boeser until he heals and because Ferland is out for season
- Past success with Pearson on the 70's Line in LA.
- Bo needed a fixture for the 2nd line winger spot (assuming this actually works out)
Toffoli did just record a hat trick in his final game with LA, so there's that too.

Honestly i think Benning should take more heat for the Ferland signing..
I know everyone in the media wants to make it a "personal story" about the person and not the player, but the guy was 100% damaged goods, no team wanted to give him term or money until the Canucks came along and paid full market value on the longest term anyone was willing to deal out, and now he's probably finished playing hockey
or at the VERY LEAST, he's never going to be the player you signed him to be and as such will be overpaid, and not bring the aspects he was specifically signed to bring.

The trade makes sense now. 8 weeks puts us mid April.

Ferland should’ve been signed for cheap or put out to pasture. Never liked the signing, was hoping he’d prove me wrong. Nope.

I thought Ferland had offers for 3 years. Benning gave him 4.
That being said, if he's injured, we just put him on LTIR right?

Picking Toffoli up in the ol pool for sure tho, Canucks are saying he's going to be on the PP etc.... keep in mind his down numbers have been playing with that boat anchor Jeff Carter, he's a legit 50-60 point player with good linemates!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but say Ferland decides he can't play at the end of the season, or the next season and retires, since he's not signed till 35, it won't affect our cap?
I wasn't a huge fan of the signing as he didn't seem to have done much after Calgary, but it's not like Erickkson's contract that we are dealing with here.

If Ferland retires, it comes off the books.

I dont really care about Madden too much but its just giving away more picks

Knowing now how long Boeser's out, I'm glad we signed an impact player. The cost is unfortunate, but missing the playoffs will cost the organization more in the long road with missing out on the experience of playoff hockey for the players to get a taste of and grow from. There are no guarantees what happens next year and the team is close this year. Is it ideal, no, but I don't fault any GM for gambling at this time of the year given circumstances the team is in and the weak division they're in.
W/R/T Toffoli, every time we play LA I comment that Toffoli is a Canucks killer.. he clearly likes to score in our rink so lets hope he know does it in a blue jersey. Ima keep the cup half full on this one.

^this is coming out of left field no?
I cant see why New Jersey would do this deal. Can u even trade a recapture penalty? Sounds like something Ottawa would want to trade for so Melynk can save 3mil. Anyways to answer your question, Yes I would take a chance with Subban if that means Ericksson is off the team. If they exhausted all options on getting rid of Ericksson.

Unfortunately, Rick Dhaliwal reporting that he is in Utah with a concussion specialist and is working to return next season.
As a pro athlete you never want to admit it’s over, but if he comes back plays 10 games and has another concussion or symptoms it’s going to fuck over the Canucks hardddddd
