[Captain Controversy]

Not too shabby. Canucks wanted a tough guy.

 

[WestCoastLife]

Bring that grit.

 

[xtra]

Lol

I wonder what this contracts gonna be but if it’s got term or dollars it’s stupid

 

[Lindgren]

Elliotte thinks Ferland and the Canucks are close (discussion on 650).

Edit:
Ah, somebody else beat me to it. Mods please delete or lock or something.

 

[Bam19]

Lol

I’m hoping 3 years or less preferably under 5 million.

 

[PG Canuck]

We really needed another forward eh?

 

[UK Canuck]

so, who's being shipped out then? because we can't pay Ferland & Boeser

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

with what moneyyyyyyyy

they have lots of time to get under the cap,,trades can happen,even tho Bennings loses more of them.Im not sure if sticking Eriksson in the minors helps cap wise.But lots of time to get under the cap.

 

[RebuildinVan]

Gotta wonder about cap space. Could this mean Jake is gone to get rid of Loui? Ferland does what we want Jake to do

 

[VC]

A body or two will have to move.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Ferland and Myers. Kudos to those who predicted this months back.

 

[PG Canuck]

A body or two will have to move.

Well considering we'll have 16 forwards, yeah.

 

[Canucks5551]

I’m nervous. Too much money or term could be crippling.

 

[MS]

Ugh. Took longer than expected but predictable.

Only hope is that because this dragged on for 10 days that he's coming it at lower value than expected.

Guy is a decent bottom-6 grinder who has had his numbers ridiculously inflated by playing with Gaudreau/Monahan and Aho/Teravainen for the past two years and dragging those elite linemates down. Should be a $2 million player but will get way more than that.

How many forwards do we have now?

 

[UK Canuck]

one of the bigger earners is gonna have to go, Sutter, Baer, Loui, coz I dont imagine this Ferland contract is gonna come under $4m aav

 

[82Ninety42011]

I wonder if we have a Sutter deal then coming as we need to create cap space quick. I just hope Benning isn't moving Tanev to create space thinking Myers replaces him as we need both.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Just no. Other teams are going to victomize Benning if he has to make trades to get below the cap.

[canucksfan]

Someone has to go with this signing. Won't get under the cap unless of course Ferland signs for less than 2 million

 

[absolute garbage]

The fact that is has taken so long for Ferland to find a team makes me think the terms will be more reasonable. Perhaps a Roussel type of contract. I'm not sure if even that would be that good though because Ferland just isn't a very good player.

But then again it's Jimbo, so it could be anything.

 

[ddawg1950]

If that means Louie is on his way out, due to cap issue, what is that going to cost us.

Another first round pick?

 

[Josepho]

We absolutely have to be shipping some guys out if this is the direction we're going in. Guys like Gaudette and MacEwen should be given the opportunity to succeed this season.

 

[Blueangel1891]

Like the player. Gonna hate the contract. He's something we did need though. Tough guy who can score to play with Petey?

Ferland Pettersson Boeser
Pearson Horvat Miller
Baertschi Gaudette Virtanen
Roussel Beagle Sutter

Roussel wil be on LTIR to start the season and we can bury Eriksson's lazy ass after that

That's not a bad team actually

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Reserving judgement until I see term and dollars. Ferland can be a useful player for this team, but we can ill afford any more poor contracts.

2-3 years at $4m~ would be a fair price for a player who has scraped 40 points and provides some grit to our forward group. IMO.
