[Canucks LB]

It's unique for a forward. Only other forward who wears it is Ryan IIRC

 

[BerSTUzzi]

Great Move. I love it.

Proactive long term thinking is for suckers.

I'm not a Benning supporter but there are decisions that are made for outside of hockey reasons (I'm not saying this is the case but it could be) in Brock Boeser's world.

His Dad has Parkinson Disease and he does not come from a upper middle class or rich kid background. There could be multiple at home financial reasons other than Brock's own pocket. I have a family member with the same disease and it isn't cheap, even more so in the US, if he is trying progressive therapy and the drugs themself.

Hoping to hear "Canucks deep 6'd another opponent' a lot from this point on.

 

[valkynax]

fixed that

Funny if he chose to wear 8 instead of 6.

#61 would've been dope

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

#61 would've been dope

Isn't someone wearing that already?

 

[clunk]

#61 would've been dope

Or something with a 7 in it. Would have liked 77 like Carter.

If he sign's now and sits, he still gets paid

He gets $100,000 up front like everyone else

That's fine, but if you wanted him to go the AHL ATO route he would have not been able to sign. I may have read into your statement more than just sign/sit.

Should have taken 66

He can sign now and it wont affect this year unless he plays.

Luke Kunin signed with Minny yesterday & they tweeted he is flying into town to work their coaching staff getting ready for next year.

I just don't understand rushing prospects to play in the NHL.
Baby steps

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Terrible move by the Canucks in my opinion. No training camp, no time to meet the Canucks or learn their systems. But more significantly he is essentially jumping up two leagues. The Canucks are setting him up for disappointment with us and maybe even for himself.

Media: "So Brock, what happened? Why weren't you able to contribute more to the Canucks?"

Not to mention a year being burned off his ELC.

Madness.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Absolutely stupid and downright idiotic by this management group. Which is all you can expect from these incompetent morons. A desperation move to drum up some excitement in this market, an attempt to boost season ticket sales, with absolute disregard for the future.

Yes, this doesn't affect his time as an RFA; however, burning off a year of his cheap ELC, for a team that's a cap team already anyway despite trying to rebuild, is nothing other than stupid. We have Eriksson and Sutter locked up long-term to awful contracts. We can expect Gudbranson to become part of that group in short time. That will likely combine to close to $15M of essentially dead cap space in poor hockey players, and immovable contracts. Once Boeser's ELC runs out, if he's even a halfway decent player we can expect his next contract to be in the $3-5M range. Good luck trying to build a competitive team when all you have cap space for is to re-sign the players you have who, as a collective unit, hasn't been good enough.

As a Canucks fan all I can ask is that my fellow fans continue to show their disdain for management with their wallets. Don't fall into this trap by shelling out several thousands of dollars to renew (or purchase) season tickets. Some will fall for this, but others (like myself) see right through this.

 

[Win One Before I Die]

Look at all the arm chair GM's. **** and let him play.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

lol well damn too bad I'm helping a friend move today.

What do you expect from this management group. All they see in this kid is a chance to help turn their reputations around after one of the most disastrous seasons in franchise history. Kuzma even said the other day that playing Boeser is all about PR.

But forget burning the year, or whatever, you shouldn't be throwing this kid out there like this ... he hasn't even taken line rushes with his line mates, or had a practice. Not to mention the fatigue factor. Bunch of idiots strike again. You wonder why this team has injury problems.

Already seen a few fall in this pit. Pity..

Unless the reports are wrong, Kunin's contract doesn't kick in until July 1st so he won't get a signing bonus or any salary until then. Boeser will get $92K right now, about $75K in salary over the next 2 weeks, and then another $92K in July.

You are correct:

SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has agreed to terms with forward Luke Kunin on a three-year, entry-level contract starting with the 2017-18 season. He will report to the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League (AHL) on an Amateur Tryout Agreement (ATO) for the remainder of this season.

That's what a GM who isn't desperate to save his job does. Ours gives no ****s about the future and is hanging on to whatever he can.

 

[TruGr1t]

Haha, WD must be chewing tacks. He gets told a rookie was just signed and is being parachuted in on his second line. But he did not EARN it!

Desperation. Kid just played a double OT game last night, it's insane they are going to debut him on the 2nd line in the NHL the morning after.

2bh tho, willie D is not here next year, so the systems will be gone.

At least he gets a small taste of the NHL

 

[Breakers]

Canucks development blueprint.

1) Rush them to NHL
2) Ruin confidence
3) Send back to AHL

essentially Virtanen and Mccann all over again.

Except the difference now is we have the AHL option on the table right now.
