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

We re-signed Gaudette to a 1yr 950k AAV
Signed Hawryluk to a 1yr 2way 800k AAV
Not bad at all

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

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.

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?  | |

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
