Confirmed with Link: Canucks sign F Micheal Ferland to a 4-year, $3.5M AAV Deal

[tradervik]

If they send Bailey (not waiver exempt) and Gaudette (waiver exempt) to Utica, waive / trade Goldobin, and put Roussel on LTIR, they'll be down to 14 forwards.

I doubt Benning will be clearing out any of the deadwood.

 

[Hit the post]

We really needed another forward eh?

We have a legit #1 D locked up long term. Don’t need more D as Myers will be able to eat close to 30 minutes a game. Heck, I think Green icing more than 4 D per game would be overdoing it now.

Oh f*** lmao

 

[sting101]

Me likey as long as the term and money makes sense.

wonder whos gone to fit in the cap

 

[canucksfan]

It's a player that will break down quickly. Anything over 2 years is nuts.

 

[Canucks LB]

It was absolutely killing me that I could not share this with you guys earlier.
Rick was going to tear me a new one if I leaked that shit hahaha

Welp, it's 4 years.

 

[Josepho]

i hope it's 4 years in the same way that edler's contract was 4 years

 

[canuckfan75]

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

That would be me

 

[canucksfan]

Welp, it's 4 years.

The cap hit better be low. I am guessing around 3-3.5 million though

lol he just turned 27

At 4 years he should be making 1 million.

So yeah 3-3.5m sounds about right.

 

[canucksfan]

lol he just turned 27

The style he plays though isn't prone to a high level of sustained play. He has pretty much peaked.

 

[Melvin]

Jesus he was still unsigned? I thought we had dodged this bullet.

 

[Superlative Soup]

4x4?

How many forwards we have isn't even the biggest issue - cap space is. One of the veteran leaders will have to be shipped out otherwise we aren't signing Boeser.

 

[sting101]

Loui Eriksson retirement??

 

[Ryp37]

Nyqvist + Ferland and keep our first or Ferland + Miller - 1st and 3rd

Watching Jim try to juggle this cap is hilarious

 

[PG Canuck]

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?

What do the advanced stats look like? I believe you, but like, I want to not believe you because I'm hoping this won't turn out too bad.

 

[VanillaCoke]

lol he just turned 27

He's not very good though, useful maybe, but 27 doesnt mean good.

 

[Superlative Soup]

Loui Eriksson retirement??

We aren't that lucky.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

4x4?

I could live with that under the category of "not great, not terrible". But I get the feeling it's gonna be a higher cap hit.

 

[canucksfan]

Loui Eriksson retirement??

There's got to be something like that because he can't be this dumb.

I heard on the radio loui is gonna play and be at camp but don’t quote me on it
