Honestly wouldn't mind the acquisition if there was a half decent team in front of him.
2 years, no ntc, with the plan to flip for picks. that would be passable.I would have love to have him if it’s a 2 years deal
****ing Benning
Probably wouldn't have signed here. Which would have been perfectly fine, but once Jimbo's sets his sights on a player he will give up WHATEVER it takes2 years, no ntc, with the plan to flip for picks. that would be passable.
On what's a shoe-in to be the league's worst team.The crown jewel of the league's most expensive fourth line
like the player. don't like the idea of having him until he is 37.
ECHL, AHL, and NHL Championship.
That's got to be rare AF... anyone know?
Well.. it's not like he'll be playing games for us when he's 37.
We have him for his 33,34,35,36 yr old seasons.
We have him for an extra yr. But good for him, will be good for us.
3 quality PKers added.
We better see some improvement on our 21st PK
Jay Beagle becomes first player in history to win Kelly Cup, Calder Cup, and Stanley CupECHL, AHL, and NHL Championship.
That's got to be rare AF... anyone know?
What do you think he'll be doing at age 37 if not playing games for the Canucks? Traded to someone who wants him at that age? Buried in the minors (provided his no trade provisions allow it)? Retired? Bought out?
Do you predict that there will in fact be an improvement in the PK? (I think there'll be no significant change, unless there are trades to come that will change the personnel.)
Not sure if serious...
On any team that isn't the Canucks.On paper, he looks like a better fit than Sutter for a shutdown center. I like the player enough that the signing isn't terrible to me. Bad for length, not terrible overall, I think will like Beagle.
I am serious. You say he won't be playing games for the Canucks. What do you think he'll be doing?
Any gains made defensively from playing Beagle will be offset by the increase usage of Sutter. If it is true that Sutter will be the 2nd line C, you will see him play like 17-18 min per game and Beagle play 13-15 min and Schaller will get like 10-12. Can you imagine 40 minutes these 3 black holes on the ice every game.If we were a contending team, needed another defensive center/PK guy, and signed him for 1-2 years at $1-1.5 million this would be a solid signing.
Instead, we're bad team who didn't need him (he'll be a downgrade on Sutter as the #3 center and frees up Sutter to be a disaster as the #2 center) and we're paying him $12 million.
Negative-value asset from the day the contract was signed. Will be lucky if he isn't a buyout candidate before the contract is half over.
