CanucksJay Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 This really sucks... Either we tried to lowball and lost or "we are gold star" took his travelling roadshow elsewhere after we messed with 2 of his other clients. 5m along with the term seemed fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCupSyndrome Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Too bad, hopefully the new signings turn out. Crazy price but a contract most fans would have supported. Let's hope mgmt's bet of more depth is the right direction. Worried they did not sign any impact players, team needs serious internal improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I enjoyed watching him but fans’ bellyaching makes me say good riddance to this big buffoon. Long live Lord Forbort. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Am.Ironman Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 25 minutes ago, -AJ- said: Probably. He's not likely as good as Zadorov, but we knew we'd have to downgrade. Yeah, I guess the point is that the Canucks aren't in a position to downgrade, especially the defence, if we feel we are in a contender window.

Popular Post greenbean30 Posted July 1 Popular Post Share Posted July 1 To the people that are flipping out and saying management failed, has it crossed your mind that Zadorov didn't want to be here? And that he chose to go to Boston over us? His good buddy Lindholm was going there, maybe he got into his ear. The rumoured Canucks offers was $5m, so the Canucks matched on the money, there was no rumour on term though. It's very possible Zads didn't want to be here and wanted to move on, and not something management "failed" on. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) 1 hour ago, DeNiro said: 4.7 sounded like as high as we would go. Not sure on the term, maybe 5 years. They clearly didn’t value him as highly as Boston. Boston clearly paid more in free agency is more like it. For a guy who really liked Van, it didn't cost that much more to get him to leave. I'm ok for that cost. Edited July 1 by elvis15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.AM.THE.WALRUS Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Dude says he likes Vancouver but signs somewhere else for basically the same money makes no sense goodbye Big Z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperlynx Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Perhaps he did not want to play here for the next 5 years, and money was not the biggest issue. Some people just don't like Van; not everyone should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it's just too much pressure for Big Z to play in the Canadian Market and needs a change!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey O Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 The best things about this deal: A: He went east B: He didn't go to the freaking Leafs. I know people hate the Bruins. I do too. But it's a lot better than ending up on the Leafs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanux Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 If you read the tea leaves on his post, it's sounds like there were family dynamics to consider for Z. Wish him well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I remember saying a month ago I was going to be pissed if he signed somewhere else for 5mil. And here we are. We really couldn't give him 5mil for playing great for us, but we'll give 5.5mil for Debrusk playing inconsistent for another team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylecanuck Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Honestly, he has been a bottom pairing D man for his entire career. I’m glad we avoided the length, and I didn’t see him worth more then 4.5 he became a fan favourite here, and was fun to watch these past playoffs, but that hasn’t been and won’t be the norm going forward for him. I’m happier spreading the money around, as we’ve done, it’ll be better for us going forward. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
