Former Canucks Thread

[Zippgunn]

Jussi Jokinen is retiring. Pretty solid NHL career - 4 goals 10 points in 14 games and almost team-leading +7 as a Canuck.

Always felt badly for him getting crapped on by almost everybody here for the terrible crime of playing well for us when we acquired him at the end of a useless season. I guess he should have sucked in order to curry favour here. That doesn't seem to help Eriksson's rep however. So confusing...

Dowd with another playoff goal

Nic Dowd already has 2 goals in 3 games. He makes 725k for another season.

Yeah but Beagle won a cup.... And leadership.... Sedins retired..... BUT COVID

Gustav Forsling led all Panthers defensemen with 24:08 TOI tonight. That included 3:51 on the PK.

Pretty impressive season for Forsling, finished 4th in ice time among Panther defensemen and 4th on the team in plus/minus.

Who knew trading a promising prospect for a "age-gap" Benning special would be a bad idea?

The only we will truly know if Benning learned from that mistake is to extend him for another 4 years and see if happens again. By then most of the next wave of his brutal contracts should be over

Holy shit Former Benning draft pick traded for Adam Clendennning has a goal in assist, his goal was the game tying goal with 3 minutes to go sending game THREE to overtime

Age gap trade really worked for us too, win win

Ronny Kenins and Latvia just beat Canada at the worlds for the first time ever.

So apparently Tanev didn't find the fountain of good health. He reportedly suffered a couple of broken ribs and a torn pectoral muscle on March 29th. Get well Tanev.

Sounds like it.

I wish our team had a player just like that.

I wish.

So Tyler Tofoli officially finishes as the seventh leading goal-scorer in the entire NHL. For the Canucks braintrust, talk about basic incompetence returning to bite you in the ass.

But not to worry---we still have Virtanen to take up Tofoli's top-six forward role. And Tanner Pearson has a new three-year deal.

In a season full of cringe-worthy moments from the Canucks brass, this one might be the most red-faced.

Both he and Rodrigo Abols played well in this game, two more decent Canucks that we simply discarded for nothing...

I'm not so sure about Kenins. He had the one really exciting half or quarter season but then afterwards was awful. Did not even get a look from another NHL team.

Kenins was frustrating because he played really well late in 14-15.

But then got hurt in training camp, and struggled badly trying to play through it. They let him make the team anyway, and he continued to struggle. And then they sent him to Utica, and he continued to struggle there (2 points in 13 games). Then he finally took a couple months to rehab the injury, came back, and was one of the best players on the ice for Utica to close the season (21 points last 28 games) but they'd made their decision based on his play while injured and refused to give him another look, calling up inferior players from Utica instead.

I remember Kenins got smacked hard from a bodycheck in Buffalo..Was never the same player after that.

Then he went to Swiss-A and proceeded to score 31 goals in 229 games in a league roughly equivalent to the AHL.

When was Rodrigo Abols a "decent canuck?"

 

[MS]

I can’t vouch for what happened in Switzerland. He had two weird incredibly unproductive years in Zurich before going back to normal in Lausanne.

He was effective here, the team clearly made a judgement on him while ineffective playing through injury, then he rebounded but wasn’t given another look.

I think (I hope) it was sarcasm.

Vancouver is the place where old (focus on old) fan favourites come to be hated.

But hey how’s Washington doing? Are they sending Dowd over the boards just to take a defensive zone draw?

Yes?

That’s why he was on the ice with Oshie and Wilson for his OT goal instead of his usual line mates.

Maybe in a few years when he is dumped by Cup contending teams GM Jim Benning will offer him a multiple year deal and then the Benning cheerleaders can inform us that the contract will be over soon and the doom n gloom off the cliffers can rejoice as Benning will have more cap space to spend on future Beagles. Wait what

Thomas Gradin is the notable exception.

Wow.

Talk about getting egg on their face, trying to denigrate Dowd and his great cap hit, while trying to blow sunshine on Beagle and his atrocious contract both dollar and term.

How embarrassing.
