You go from being willing to commit huge dollars to one player to spending all that money on depth. That may have been the best non move we could have made. But it makes me wonder how they’re satisfied not filling their need of an elite player to play with Petey. Debrusk isn’t a bad alternative and we might be developing a similar quality player in Lekkerimaki. Both may be enough to help push Petey’s line to great heights.

I just think they still need to take a big swing on a big time goal scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming silovs at 1m, and that Hoglander would be part of a deal for Necas, we'd only have about 3m of cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted Monday at 11:02 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:02 PM Sounds like Bruins fans liked the guy. Do it all kinda guy. Glad we at least got some youth. Way better than some of the other forwards that got signed to similar deals. I bet this way plan B though. I think Allvin and co really wanted a big fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they need a goalscoring winger and I'd like necas if they can make it work, but I also like frank vatrano and he doesn't really fit anaheim's age group at all. we know tocchet likes him from the all star game and I think he has some kind of history with petey somehow? great value for this year, probably not too unreasonable to retain.

I guess we'll see how that works out. As far as the strategic shift, it looks like the 9-9.5 they were looking to spend on JG got spent on Debrusk, Heinen and Sherwood (9.25 combined) instead once JG was off the table. I suppose they could have held onto the cap space instead and maybe used it as leverage in a future trade for a scoring winger, but looking at the current trade market and what Carolina was asking for Necas, I can understand why they pulled the trigger on plan B.

I.Am.Ironman Posted Monday at 11:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:16 PM Teravainen (29) signed in Chicago for 3x5.4M vs Debrusk (27) at 7x5.5M. Teravainen is definitely the better scorer, I was hoping the Canucks would be in on him. 3x5.4 is very reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coryberg Posted Monday at 11:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:17 PM I'm glad that the one contract we went long on was a 27 year old (takes him to 34). Compare that to Toffoli (5 years older, 4 years takes him to 36) or Marchessault (6 years older, 5 years that take him to 38). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who is that now going to be? Most of the players that were free to acquire without giving up assets are no longer on the board.

Nashville went bonkers this morning, signing both Stamkos AND Marchessault. Wow. Two 40 goal scorers, though they're older in age for sure.

Big difference between those players. One is a Tocchet player, one is not. DeBrusk hits and is really good on the forecheck. Ask Leaf’s fans how they feel about DeBrusk leaving their division and there’s your answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzhaken Posted Monday at 11:25 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:25 PM 5 hours ago, greenbean30 said: It wouldn't shock me to see the team go. Debrusk-Miller-Boeser Joshua-Petterson-Garland Hogs-Bluegar-Heinen Podz-Suter-Sherwood At least to start and see if there is chemistry with Joshua, Petey and Garly. They’ve gotta give your 2nd line a long look in the fall. I think it has great potential. It was discussed on Canucks Talk last week, after the Joshua signing broke. They only had 12 minutes together all season, I’m guessing that was due to overlapping shifts and whatnot. But it makes sense on paper, and Petey could definitely help bring Joshua’s offence up another level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
