It depends upon what they let Hutton go for. If he gets in the 3m range on the open market, then I would be surprised they chose the route they did.
a full season of an improved hughes /stecher, and addition of a top4 D and really solid bottom pairing guy will help us. our top6 is better with miller and improved Bo petey and boeser... we make the playoffs and lose rnd 1 is my guess
Overwatch league obviously.Which team's spot do we take to make the Playoffs, though?
Overwatch league obviously.
Had, as stated by some, a solid year in Montreal last year and he seems good value. Player that needs to keep it simple. Hard nose player that is very responsible defensively
Would love this to be a precursor to getting his brother but that's likely wishful thinking. But Jamie has talked about the desire to play with the Canucks and his brother. I just can't conceive of a deal we could make to achieve this.
just goofin aroundI'm not following? What's an Overwatch?
At least it was only 2 years, but really an unnecessary signing. He's a replacement level player (actually slightly sub-replacement level over the last 3 years). Simply signing Luke Schenn for $700k would have made a lot more sense.
Because Gillis.Hes a good bottom pairing defender but why the ntc...
yes because he took less money to sign with his hometown team and obviously he wants some sort of security? it doesn't affect us in the expansion draft since it's only 2 years....why is that so hard to understand?Did Benning really give this player a NTC?
My preferred pairings:
Edler-Stecher
Hughes-Tanev
Benn-Myers
PP1 Hughes, PP2 Myers, save Edler for heavy ES and PK duty.
I like the Benn signing; fits needs and budget. Do not agree at all with a lot of what's written about Luke Schenn; he is strictly a 7/8/9 and I much prefer Biega as the fourth option at RD.
Who's angry?Not sure why anyone Is angry over a ntc to a guy on a low cap hit on a 2 year deal.
Their outrage at your opinion requires you to be angry.Who's angry?
He's a left D. He's not getting paired with Hughes unless Benning is planning on running two lefties as a pair and two righties as a pair or most of the defense is out injured.Solid deal, solid vet, will help Hughes acclimate if they are paired together at the start.
Nah, heard an interview where he said he's played LD and RD his entire career and he's comfortable with both. Unless the player himself is lying, I'd say he'd comfortable with both.He's a left D. He's not getting paired with Hughes unless Benning is planning on running two lefties as a pair and two righties as a pair or most of the defense is out injured.
I'm not that worried about it either, it is probably something like 5-10 teams he can veto. It'd be stupid if he could veto 15 or 20 but I can't see it being that high.This is not that bad of a signing, cap and length are good, good 3rd pairing D and can play rd as well so some insurance if Tanev gets injured. Yes the Limited trade clause may seem odd but until we know what the limited part of it is, it really isn't a big deal. Overall very pleased with this one.
RHD Tanev Myers Stecher. Green is not moving one to the left side.Nah, heard an interview where he said he's played LD and RD his entire career and he's comfortable with both. Unless the player himself is lying, I'd say he'd comfortable with both.
