Player Discussion Brandon Sutter. Defensive Center. One More Year Remaining at $4.375 AAV (w/ M-NTC).

Sutter, that infernal Ferland contract; and the Luongo cap recapture penalty will finally be off the books at the end of this season.....Three footnotes in the Canucks lore of ugly contracts.

You left out the most important part! No Jim Benning who just replaces one bad contract with another.

The Canucks don't miss Sutter. It's a shame that he is suffering long term symptoms though. Especially considering that he is responsible and not an anti-science moron like Hamonic.

A 32nd ranked PK begs to differ.

From all reports, Sutter will begin skating and with serious workouts in March.....and since March is less that a few days away, it could be any time.

He's been all but ruled out for this season and is heading into next season as a UFA. But I could see him getting a one-year deal again somewhere, particularly if it's around the league minimum.

Sutter seems like a class act....and if he wants to continue to playing hockey, you have to be pulling for him.

Sutter may have trade value in that he is on LTIR

Sutter era in Vancouver is officially over. For the love of god don’t re-sign him. I don’t think this management group has a love affair with him like JB did. His contracts up, he’s a UFA…. Let him retire or go elsewhere.

Agree. It's more about a full-on mental shift away from the Benning era than anything else. Would rather pursue a different low-cost depth C.

I'm pushing the BBB movement.

Bring Back Brad.

Hehe given his penchant for calling out other teammates' testicles I'm not sure if "class act" describes him accurately.

Class act or not, he was overpaid for his role, glad this team can finally get rid of this guy.

Brad Hunt?

Turns out Goldoblin didn’t have any balls..He didn’t cut it as an NHL player..sadly.

I do hope you're not suggesting that just because a player didn't make it in NHL, it is totally justified to publically call out said player's testicles.

That would be quite an appalling narrative.

Agreed that it was an uncalled for comment..He should have used different wording for Goldys shortcomings.

did not enjoy a single second of this guy here

if anyone’s testicles deserve to be called out, it’s brent sutter for creating one of the softest players on the puck i’ve ever seen

but obviously i hope his health is ok moving forward

That's a different movement.

Bring Back Brad (Richardson.)

Calling Goldobin out for having no balls in itself is pretty juvenile, especially consider Sutter himself is not exactly earning any brownie points from fans or coaches with his underwhelming performance, while riding that undeserving contract like he earned it. If Sutter had any sense of shame or self awareness, he should knew better than to make such an absurd remark about a teammate that spilled out to the fans.

Overpaid, under-performed, shitty teammate. Yeah, he can piss the f*** off.

this.

brandon sutter is a mirage of an NHL player. to be effective defensively, he has to stifle his line-mates offensively. yet, because he has speed and a decent wrister, gets a break away here and there, it tricks you.

he's awful.

Could he replace Dickenson? Sutter makes1.5 million less than him.

Nah,..he scored 9 goals in 43 games in the 2021 season. (thats on par for almost 20 in a normal season) .Good on face-offs , and a good PK'er..I'm sure he would have made a considerable difference to our league worst PK this last season.

Tthere's no doubt in my mind, that Boudreau would have leaned heavily on Sutter had he been available.

 

[M2Beezy]

But almost pace

 

[geebaan]

Never want this turd anywhere near the team again. Basically the epitome of everything that went wrong in the Benning era.

I dunno. Think you're being a bit harsh here. He (imho) had a couple solid seasons as a defensive forward. On what we gave up to get him here in the first place is a different issue.

 

[M2Beezy]

As Ive mentioned all season long, Jason Dickinson gets shit on hard by this fan base. He was EASILY one of our top 15 best forwards ffs

 

[MarkMM]

Possibly, but we'd still have to deal with being stuck with the stupid contract that Benning gave him that I doubt people would take off of our hands without us paying them to / retaining salary.

Well that's on Benning more than the player.
