Tusk Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Just now, coolboarder said: I do not think we really need Bear to shore up our D. Let see how McWard play tonight and if he's capable D as 5/6 then we can afford to wait until Soucy comes back and use cap space to acquire something at the TDL without giving up extra asset at the deadlines.. There is no time to panic and rush any free agent signing and regret it later. now i knows what the Qwat emogi means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43isprime Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Wait wait...Allvin said we received theequivalent of "3 first round picks" in the Horvat trade. Is Raty worth 2 firsts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he be a huge upgrade on our current situation? Its not even a question. If you can sign Ethan Bear you do it yesterday, your not getting a legit 4/5D any easier than you are by signing him for pretty cheap & with no assets going out. Yep. 100%. Unless we’re trading for a long term piece, I’d rather us not spend significant assets to fill this cap space. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? We literally just cleared the amount of cap we would need to fit him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmonic trade, traded for Dermott. Got space again (can't remember how) and then signed Mik, which I'm okay with, i like Mik, but a little patience can open up opportunities to get better players. Bear isn't as good as some think, and he's been off injured for a long time now. But, if he signed for 1 or 1.5mill, then I won't be disappointed. Over 2m and I hope Allvin passes and remains patient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuzmenko needs to be consistent on a game to game basis. He needs to be consistent and more than just a player who scores an important goal every now and then. That’s what Tocchett is training him for and I’m glad the message is being sent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 5 minutes ago, Smashian Kassian said: I think we knew this for awhile, all the buzz has been that this management covets Zadorov. This idea concerns me though, the word is Calgary doesn't want to trade him here (meaning it will require an overpayment) and I'm not sold Zadorov is a legit top 4D you can rely on. Really hoping they don't move good assets like Hoglander/1st/2nd/top prospects for Zadorov. You sound like you have PBST. Allvin isn’t the dough head that Benning was. If he traded for Zadorov it will be only at a fair cost. Benning, the dough head (who always overpaid for craperolla) is gone. Look at what Allvin just got for Beau! No retention and a pick back. Trust in the greatness of Allvin. He’s like Gillis smart. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But JR has a history of making lots of trades and tweaking the roster until he has it how he wants it.. I expect something to happen pretty quick.. maybe couple of weeks max.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHAO Allvin is going to use the newly acquired cap room to fit in a legitimate top 4 D.

VegasCanuck Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Wow, the cost of cap space... I think this means: #1, we're going to sign Bear #2, Aman is now full-time Canucks, he's not going back to AHL. Guess they figured more cap flexibility was better than retaining and getting a higher pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
