Confirmed with Link: [VAN/ARI] Garland,OEL(12% retained) for 9th OA,2nd in 22,7th in 23,Beagle,Roussel,Eriksson

[F A N]

When you look at what Toronto paid to get rid of 1 year (can’t remember what the salary was) of big salary, how much is getting rid of 1 year of 12 million in salary worth?

That is a bit different though because the Toronto deal involves a buyout. The team the Canucks dealt with got rid of real overall $$$ in the deal and a horrendous contract.

They didn't clear space. OEL and Garland take up almost as much space as the guys they traded away. Except for 6 years instead of 1.

It "clears" it in the sense it's now spent on useful players. Give or take for OEL.

I meant clear space from the garbage. Garland and OEL will be more servicable.

Just read through 31 pages in trades & rumours.. come to the Canucks board.. 31 pages.

Going to be a long night, at least I have beer and it's friday.

 

[Steamer]

f*** Benning. It's on Aquilini at this point.

It's like putting an alcoholic with a history of multiple crashes and DUI's in charge of driving a school bus.

The Slum Lords hands are all over this. It's a two year window to win the cup and they don't have the other pieces.

 

[Yossarian54]

Actually don't mind this in isolation. Garland is a huge inclusion, some salary retention and the dumps going the other way (this year only).

In the context of where we are at it feels a lot like more of the same. The cupboard should really not be this bare for a long time non-playoff team.

 

[logan5]

Less than getting rid of nearly $50 million for 6 years.

You are knowledgeable about hockey. In a 1 for 1 trade, what would it take in trade to get rid of 1 year of 12 million in salary?

Probably 2 #1 picks. Late #1 picks, not #9 overall.

But I wouldn't have taken OEL for 3 #1 picks.

 

[J Corso]

Garland and OEL will be more servicable.

Yeah good luck with that.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

No more Beagle, Roussel, Eriksson and Sutter. How can you not be happy as a fan that watched these overpaid plugs run around the ice.

Crazy how much cap space they cleared up…

 

[NoShowWilly]

Okay assume OEL rebounds, are we going try and be a playoff team with

Hughes
OEL
Rathbone

down the left side? That seems like an easy out when the games get rough. I assume we have at least the playoffs as the bar now.

 

[the_gman83]

Yeah good luck with that.

I mean, compared to the combined 10 points between Beagle, Roussel and Eriksson, it's hard to be less serviceable.

The defense doesn’t have one player that is good at defense. It’s remarkable.

 

[PavelBure10]

Arizona - Guenther, 22 2nd, 21 7th, Roussel, Eriksson, Beagle

Vancouver - Ekman-Larsson, Garland

I really like this now, switch it with Eklund or Clarke then not so much.

 

[Steamer]

This has Aqua all over it. They want to win now because the man who made his money as Vancouver's most notorious landlord is old. They want a cup now. Even if Podz is lights out this season it still doesn't cure the problems at right defence They have to move someone else to sign some RHD's. After this I am all for fire Benning, but clearly he isn't the problem. Bowman won the trading today at a high price but added a blue chip player, Vancouver did not and Chicago isn't going to be saddled with a bad contract for a player over 30.

 

[canucksfan100]

If Holtby and/or Schmidt arent moved for picks tommorow what do you try and get for them? would be kinda pointless to try and get 2022 picks(mainly for Schmidt) at that point.

For Schmidt it makes sense to try and find a RH defensive dman that comes cheaper. Holtby, you take anything you're offered and run.

Holtby will be moved with picks, not for them. Or they get something bad in return.

 

[deckercky]

Ugh

Miller EP Boeser
Hoglander Bo Garland
Pearson Dickinson Podz
Motte Highmore Mac

Hughes Myers?
OEL Rathbone?
Schmidt Juolevi?

I honestly have no idea how the defensive pairings will look. Neither does Jimbo.

Add Hamonic and the defence balances out.

Mac

Hughes - Hamonic
OEL - Schmidt
Rathbone - Myers

No traditional shutdown pairings, but that's 3 pairings that in my opinion are likely to have chemistry, and are able to defend by getting the puck out of the defensive zone after any offensive breakdown.

The forward group should also be hemmed into its own zone much less than the forwards last few seasons.

i just love the idea that OEL might rebound....on one of the worst defensive teams in the league

9th oa to dump that salary might be fair if you’re a Stanley cup contender. But not if you’re taking any salary in return and not if you finished 24th last season.

what else can we hope for? that's the gamble, not one gamble I would take. But clearly the trade and more important the canucks future hinges on how well OEL plays.

 

[BWJM]

furthermore, Benning's track record of getting fixated on high draft pedigree Dmen is laughable. Sbisa, Gudbranson, Myers just kill me rn

Lol please tell me you're not comparing those 3 players to OEL.. Can't wait to pull up this thread when the Canucks have a good season next year.

The trade & rumour thread was a lot more enoyable to read than this one. That's for sure.

Might be something like 95% hater to 5% optimistic people here.

Canucks simply can't be shit for another 2-3 years... or we will end up like CBJ and have everyone leave.

but but but Arizona is a bottom feeder! Not like the Canucks at all!
