For Ryan Spooner.


Grsnlund and Goldobin must be good as gone

 

[Addison Rae]

Ryan Spooner ugh

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Involving Ryan Spooner coming back, possibly.

There’d better be a bloody sweet add to the deal if that’s the case.

If they move Pulju...i doubt its to a division rival in fear of him turning his career around.

A sweet add to Sam Gagner?
Lol

Contracts are a wash.

Spooner is just someone Benning had in Boston and is more familar with

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Spooner is under contract next year, same as Gagner, at a higher cap hit. It’d be nice if the Canucks could squeeze an asset out of this.

 

[Addison Rae]

If Spooner and Gagner have the same term it’s a wash deal and I’m fine with it.

 

[NoShowWilly]

yeah but spooner can go to Utica instead of Toronto

 

[wonton15]

A whatever trade. At least he'll play in Utica. I'm sure he'll be tried on Horvat and Elias' wing at some time

 

[Fire Benning]

Spooner and Gagner have virtually identical contracts.

 

[Fire Benning]

Straight up for Spooner no Salary retained. Both are UFAs after next season, Spooner makes 50k less.

 

[Canucks LB]

Seems like a no risk gamble.

Probably just doing Sam a favour

 

[Addison Rae]

We all knew Spooner would eventually be a Canuck

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

850k difference
Both UFA in 2020
Not losing sleep

Rangers are retaining a bit of Spooner so they have essentially the same cap hit.

 

[The don godfather]

Nucks win the deal. By a nostril hair.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Ideally we can squeeze in one more asset
But that’s asking too much from JB

 

[NoShowWilly]

no shit. attempt to acquire all the shitty former bruins.

Probably overpay mcquaid this offseason.

Oh nice point out

Benning strikes again! Take that Gilman, no more free asset for you and those maple buds.

Still thinking Jimbo has his eyes on his grand desire.................Alexander Khoklachev!

 

[CCF]

I actually liked Gagner in Vancouver. I thought in his limited time up this year he played well. I think Gagner is a much more impactful player than Eriksson is. Also struck me as odd that spent this offseason chasing and throwing money at Beagle and Roussel for veteran leadership when we already had Gagner. Don't feel like the Canucks handled Gagner well.

 

[GetFocht]

The plus side is that he can goto Utuca

 

[Superlative Soup]

Always knew Jimbo would acquire Spooner just be glad he didn’t use a pick to do so.
