Master Mind Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 7 minutes ago, RWJC said: EP is entering his 6th season with this club and played in 325 regular season games thus far. He’s played in approximately 17 playoff games in 6 years…and that was over 4 seasons ago. No offense, but he’s a highly competitive player and that combined with what I mention above makes me think you have the wrong impression of what he might want. I said that I think he'd prefer to be on a cup contender instead of a first round exit team, but you think that's the wrong impression?

This isn't a deal that moves the needle much, but probably more than most of the prospects we can get in the 5th round. We've definitely had some players not quite impress so far so I don't mind the low risk gamble. In the end, this doesn't make or break our contender status, so let's just see how it goes. i am very happy for this 25 pages.We are alive 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a 4th liner on Toronto or Pittsburgh is just a guy that never got a chance to show what he can do. I bet Tocc knows what this guy can do. He has less assists and one more goal in twenty less games played. Their production is about the same, and the only reason Di Giuseppe is on a line other than our 4th is because he works hard. On a better team he wouldn't be there. He's had chances with better players at times but had generally been relegated down the lineup as players get healthy again. He's definitely bottom six for us even if he might spot fill during injuries. Just like PDG, he'll work hard but it's unlikely he's anything more than a slightly better than waiver wire extras for a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggy Bear Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Either he helps us make the playoffs, or we trade him at the TDL for a likely higher pick. Ideally fills the role of pest, drawing penalties, and throwing opponents off their games, like Joshua did vs. The Oilers. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I realize there are mixed feelings about bringing Sam on. Not to mention it means an even tighter Cap situation. I think he brings an element the Canucks woefully need. A true enforcer. You really don't mind if he zeros other team's star players and takes them off for 5-min, along with himself. Pretty sure Tocchet wants this scenario......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blue Green Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Master Mind said: We paid a 5th for a bottom of the lineup player. That's a fine move to make when you're a contender, but not a wise move for a non-playoff team (to repeatedly make). Sometimes to be a playoff team you have to make moves like this. He is an upgrade for the bottom line and has a lot of versatility in playing all three forward positions and on the PK. NHL depth. He alone will not make us a playoff team but he is an upgrade to help solidify the other offseason moves we made. Aman will be back. If Strudnicka clears he will get a chance to continue to become that type of bottom 6 he will need to become to carve out an NHL career. this is a no loss trade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks-12 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Loving the discussion! Here’s my 2 cents. Pretty solid move to obtain a solidified bottom 6 NHL player with some scoring ability. And that for a 5 round pick, which is meh. Thumbs up to Allvin in my books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry guys. Myers, Boeser, Garland, Beau are not going to get you what you want, because no one has cap space. Maybe at the trade deadline, some minor deals might happen. Management is going to look for value signings from the bargain bin. And they’re being smart and strategic in their approach what did we all say we needed last year? better, bigger dmen - check better pk’ers - check more speed and size on our bottom 6 - check not sure why people are upset anyone who watched the final ex game against Calgary saw a team unlike we’ve seen for a decade Yes it was one game, but that team just dominated the Flame’s starters by playing a solid, patient, and efficient game, with zero panic defensively at any time including PK We just improved our “defensive forward group” for a 5th rounder which is a throw away pick Alvin is doing a nice, tidy job. This team will surprise most if they stay healthy. Edited October 9, 2023 by BlockerHigh 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip The Mesh Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 My take on the Lafferty acquisition is simply giving the team more versatility, not to mention sand paper. Seems he can play all three positions, including take right shot face-offs. I believe all others shoot left... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't expect them to change course now, I just hope they don't throw away too many assets in their short-sighted pursuit of making us a first round exit. Every time we throw assets away, it's yet another cut. I thought you were happy since we’re a contender now but you seem to be miserable? Are you not good with us finally winning a lot more than we lose? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coryberg Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I'm actually a fan of this trade. Definitely a Tocchet style player. A right handed shot big body that plays an in your face physical game at all 3 forward positions. He was a beast in the panthers/leafs series last season. I'm hoping he can influence Joshua to step up his physical intensity as well. While it's never ideal to trade away draft picks this is the same draft that we acquired a 4th from trading away Lazar. In theory we traded Lazar and a 5th for Lafferty and a 4th. Not too shabby. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
