Almost got me.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I think it’s time to move on. Beagle is still on contract for next year, and I don’t think Sutter is good enough or durable enough to fill the 3C role any longer.

If Beagle weren’t around, I’d entertain a 1 year deal at $1m or so - but he will likely ask for more money and term, and the Canucks should say no.

 

[VanJack]

I see some of the Sportsnet 650 cheerleaders are stumping for the return of Sutter.....but just can't see it happening. Unless he was willing to come back on a team friendly, Travis Hamonic type of $1m deal, but even then the team probably needs to move on.

But the fact that it's even in the conversation just underscores how desperately thin the Canucks are at the center ice position.

 

[Fatass]

I don’t think we fans understand the ego of the players. It’s very rare a once high paid guy, with an important role will sign for a huge pay reduction with his current team. It’s a lockeroom measuring thing. Pearson only came back because we way overpaid, even though it’s less than what he was making before. Sutter will not come back unless we way overpay. Same with Edler. These guys have big egos. They measure their egos in the room.

 

[tantalum]

Lol. NO!

 

[Fatass]

Graovac at 750 (or whatever he’s paid) will be fine.

both beagle and Sutter are absolute trash and should have been waived three years ago.

 

[Dab]

Our Center ice depth is so weak I almost think it’s inevitable to see Sutter back here at - 2 years at $2 million each.

Of course they are. 650 is trash after 9am.

Honestly, from the sounds of things it seems like they basically just took the agent's word for it that this was a good price, so there's not really any way to test if this is true or not.

 

[vancityluongo]

Sutter will definitely be back.

Guessing it will be something like $3m x 2 years, maybe 3 years if that's what they think they Petey and Hughes will bridge for.

I've said this many times; I think there is a higher likelihood that Sutter is the next Canucks captain than the chances that he won't be re-signed if Jim Benning is still GM.

 

[rypper]

Move on. Even if he came stupidly cheap. It's time for a change, he's too injury prone now to be dependable.

I'd like it if the team had a bit more grit coming from its bottom six, someone like Adam Lowry if he hadn't re-signed with Winnipeg but a player of that ilk.

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

He doesn’t move the needle at all. I’d rather just gamble on another Hawryluk type player for league minimum.

Dam almost gave me a heart attack. 1Mil or less sure, anything more? move on.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

f*** you.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

The sad thing is that he is 7th in points among our forwards.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

How about f***ing no.

 

[geebster]

The sad thing is that he is 7th in points among our forwards.

8th in points per game among forwards and only a fraction higher than Gaudette. So hes borderline 3rd/4th line by that measure. Given how many bottom 6 injuries we have had (literally 0 of our starting bottom 6 players currently in the lineup), he very well could have been even lower on the list if others had more time to round out their games. So not as sad as it first appears.

 

[Cupless44]

I don’t care what he would sign for, at some point you have to move on and bring in some new blood when you miss the playoffs most years.

 

[Peen]

Graovac

 

[Johnny Canucker]

I would take him at 1-2 years , 1.5M Max.

he’s better than the waiver guys we picked up and Hightower , Veesy, etc.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

“I think you can rebuild and not miss the playoffs 5 years in a row. “

Kevin Bieksa on the Canucks.

 

[Zippgunn]

The sad thing is that he is 7th in points among our forwards.

It's sad only if you have a hate on for the guy as so many here do. I like him fine he has his good games and his not so good games. A better coach would definitely help him (and so many others on our team).

A centre with 2 assists is a centre in name only! Totally useless in the position.
