I didn’t say he would, I said go on medical ie: LTIR and then retire after

he needs to think about his quality of life after hockey. you have to think back to the playoffs. what was the play that knocked him out of the game? no one seems to be able to pin down anything specific that would cause another concussion. he can't play his game anymore if he feels symptoms reoccurring so easily.

If Lou Lamoriello was your gm, he would make him an offer he couldn't refuse. Robidas Island has been needing a new caretaker. Loui Eriksson would be in witness protection.

Up to $3.5M depending on how the Canucks handle it.

lol, Elias Nettersson

bobbinka 10-24-2020 02:47 PM

it's why we let Marky walk

spoon.ek9 10-24-2020 05:01 PM

Leivo to Flames as well

EuterVanWasser 10-24-2020 05:18 PM

Not sure the logic in letting Leivo walk for $875/year. I liked the guy.

it's possible that we had the same or even better offer, but he decided he had a better shot with the flames?

Just had major, potentially-career impacting injury (shattered knee cap). Missed 9 months and Benning said he might have been an option if the Canucks had made the Stanley Cup Finals (so at least 10 months).

roastpuff 10-24-2020 07:49 PM

Also we may have offered a 2-way deal and the Flames offered a 1-way so that might have swayed him.

I liked his drive and effort with us his boards work would make Virtanen a much better player...

But if you watched his Twitter feed (which he deleted a tonne of posts from) before he seemed like a bit of a knob, acting like he’s king shit and hanging with Matthews trying to be a party boy etc... pretty big ego though

AzNightmare 10-25-2020 05:10 PM



lol. Please take Loui too...

spoon.ek9 10-26-2020 06:12 AM

so two things happened over the weekend. canucks chose to NOT buy out anyone and benning told the media (province, i believe) that the kids will get a chance to play D. that's likely rafferty/chatfield/juolevi. the debate now is whether this was planned or it's a product of being so handcuffed lol.

so, the assumption is baertschi continues to be buried in the AHL and that loui is likely to be sent down too. that gives us $2mil+ in cap relief.

68style 10-26-2020 07:24 AM

Loui actually might not hate being sent down besides the luxury items being taken away. AHL players don’t have to pay escrow so he gets a bigger chunk of his bloated ass salary every pay day.

Not that it ever looks like he “cares” about much of anything............

Zero point in buying anyone out in the second window. Already missed out on everyone decent. Who would they sign with the extra money?

Rumour was signing a d man like Vatanen or Hamonic. I'm not saying they should have waived someone, simply that they could have if they wanted to make a move.

Hell, they could have let Jake walk, waive Sutter, keep Toffoli and still have some room to play with.

Sw0op 10-26-2020 05:26 PM

id rather play the kids than the leftover scraps really...those kids need some experience and are not getting any younger.....besides we should keep a D slot open for the expansion draft to take advantage of another team that risks losing someone good in the back end for nothing

Dallas revealed their new 3rd jersey today.

Looks like they're going to play lazer tag. :heckno:
