Glad we didn't do the OEL deal if Loui wasn't going the other way.

spoon.ek9 10-17-2020 10:59 AM

if that's true, i'm glad benning didn't give up hoglander, podkolzin or demko.

https://www.tsn.ca/vancouver-canucks...deal-1.1540853


We re-signed Gaudette to a 1yr 950k AAV
Signed Hawryluk to a 1yr 2way 800k AAV

Not bad at all

spoon.ek9 10-19-2020 02:14 PM

we'll see how he handles 3C duties. can't complain at that price.

Jmac 10-19-2020 03:41 PM

I think his offensive game is good enough for a 3C. The rest of his game needs improvement to be a legit 3C.

Alpine 10-19-2020 05:31 PM

Good deal for Gaudette. I like him a lot and I was hoping he would actually sign a 3-year contract on the cheap. The canucks need someone like him to develop and take the next step. He could easily be Bo-lite.

Shotgun Jake is back. -done deal for Virtanen:

Vancouver #Canucks
@Canucks

HOLD UP

Benning said that he was disappointed in Jake's play during the playoffs. He lets TT walk and sign with Montreal for under market price, and then doubles Jake's salary even though he is an RFA? :rukidding:

But in reality how many more good years does Toff really have?

Hondaracer 10-22-2020 11:53 AM

He’s still an asset. We’ve lost too many assets for nothing. At least at this price he may be seen to have value by other teams as a trade chip

RiceIntegraRS 10-22-2020 12:00 PM

2.55 for a player who can score 20goals basically all at even strength Is a win. if he gets his shit together the contract becomes a bargain.

bobbinka 10-22-2020 12:18 PM

salary structured as 1.7m for first year and 3.4m for second year, which he'll still be an RFA at the end of.

basically, show me you're worth it and you'll be guaranteed 3.4m minimum on your next contract. if you flop, we walk away and you become UFA.

RFA just means he goes to arbitration if we didn’t come to terms with him and, to be honest, based on comparable cases I think he would have got more.

Good deal by Benning given the 3 choices (the 3rd one being he’s gone).

blkgsr 10-22-2020 02:21 PM

why is he getting more than Gaudette?

68style 10-22-2020 03:15 PM

Entering his 6th year in the NHL.... on pace for over 20 goals last year

Likeable as he is, thus far Gaudette can barely crack the lineup...

Aside from the obvious of outproducing Gaudette, Gaudette was also a 10.2c RFA with no offer sheet or arbitration rights. Virtanen was an RFA with both.

spoon.ek9 10-22-2020 06:26 PM

with this deal, we are currently over the cap. more moves to come or perhaps Ferland on LTIR? His agent came out and said "we can't keep doing this" in regards to his health.

68style 10-22-2020 08:21 PM

Ferland is best to take medical leave and then retire for his own sake and also for our teams sake... even if he tries to play there’s zero chance it’s not in his mind to hold back all the time. Poor guy.

highfive 10-22-2020 08:25 PM

Man... I was excited to have ferland on the team. Guy who won’t take shit from anyone. Nobody can touch petey. He’s as tough or tougher than bieksa. He’s what we wanted gudbranson to do but he’s too busy being a pretty boy.

Liquid_o2 10-23-2020 09:00 AM

A healthy Ferland would be great. Sandpaper, hits everything that moves, potential for 20 goals. But I agree - there is no possible way he can play a full season anymore without sustaining further concussion symptoms. He has had 3 setbacks in the past year.

punkwax 10-23-2020 10:25 AM

I didn’t like the Ferland signing since day 1.. figured he was damaged goods back then and hoped he could prove me wrong. Nyope.

Jmac 10-23-2020 10:49 AM

A healthy Ferland at $3.5M would’ve been a really good deal. It was a risk/reward scenario and it looks like the risk didn’t pay off, unfortunately. His P/60 at even-strength has exceeded Toffoli’s the past 2 seasons.

There’s almost zero chance he walks away from the $9.5M remaining on his contract.

How much $$$ would the Canucks save on cap space if he went on LTIR?
