[VanJack]

So Brandon Sutter is heading into another round of sport hernia surgery. His second sport hernia operation, and gone for the season.

So is that it? Have we seen Sutter's last game in a Vancouver uniform?

Too many candidates for buyouts (even with Guds gone).

...kinda hilarious he played barely 1/4 of the season. Thing is, even when he was back in, I still preferred Gaudette up in his position.

Way past time to move on from Sutter, but with all these injuries unlikely we can get much value at this point.

Cant believe we traded away a better pick in that trade o man

What is the recovery time for that type of surgery and what is the risk of it not working?

Cant believe our GM wasn't smart enough to move him at last years trade deadline when 5 teams reportedly called about him.

According to reports Sutter had sport hernia surgery on his left side, and now they're doing the right side. Recovery time is eight weeks, so won't be back on skates until sometime in May.

Just in time to recover and be traded at the draft for belly button lint.

I feel like it is not very good. He was like a rock health wise before he came here too...

So if we make the finals he might be back? HOPE

Another assets value flushed down the drain.
To think we could have flipped Sutter and Gudbranson last TDL for picks. Exhibit A of why Benning sucks as a GM.

 

[BassMason]

He’ll make a good coach one day.

Yeah Im starting to think it may be time to let Benning go. Id of rather of had 2 2nd round picks then Pearson who seemed to of peeked as a hockey player at age 23 or so

Doubt we'd get anything of worth back for him. I would say we should just hope he rebounds next year and then trade him at the deadline, but I don't think he'll be healthy enough to do so.

From an innie or outie belly button?

An innie of course. What kind of psycho has outie lint?

Age is a bitch.

Would he?

 

[NoShowWilly]

still think we can trade him in the summer. eat some salary. might be tough to convince Aquilini with all the money he is paying for poor performance right now.

 

[valkynax]

Would he?

He'd be a great coach.

Because he calls out people's testicles without problems.

Like you, I can't imagine that Sutter with that contract would fetch even a used roll of hockey tape. But then against all odds, the Canucks managed to unload Gudbranson, Gagner and Del Zotto and actually get something back.

And in the case of Gudbranson and Gagner, their contracts were just as bad or maybe even worse than Sutter's. So you just never know. But it sure would be nice if the Canucks upped Gaudette's ice-time in the last 16 games to ensure they've got a replacement third line center.

Foundational piece my ass, one of Boninos broken sticks would of helped this team out more.

The best hope is to retain 50% and trade in the off sesaon.

I'm not sure getting cap dumps back counts as something, if it did Sutter for Lucic would count as getting something back.

Sutter needs to be moved, there isn’t any room for him on the roster, however he’s going to be tough to move. Canucks should just eat some salary and move him for a later round pick then acquiring another cap dump. We already have enough garbage as it is and it would be nice to move some out and clear some salary.
