PhillipBlunt Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Oh well. This team already has the 5-6 defense spots covered, so signing Bear would have been redundant. Not the player you get into a bidding war over. Either Washington or Toronto will be his destination, I’m thinking.

SilentSam Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I wonder if Calgary will use him to fill a spot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked him too, but loved him on a cheap contract. Whatever...by the time Bear's recovered fully and has his previous fitness level, Soucy will be back with the Canucks. That eases some of the demands on the individual d minutes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably his last best shot at some serious money. TO has 2.2 mil in LTIR, I bet he gets 2 of that, maybe a little more if they drop one of their current 7 d back down to the AHL. I did want him here but am also happy for him to earn while he can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) If the Canucks hadn’t have traded for Zadorov, signing Bear might’ve been more of a pressing need. Players like Bear are easier to find than players like Zadorov. Best for the Canucks to focus on the 3-4 spot.

Juulson has been quietly improving each night too, so maybe he can pretty much bring what Bear does? I was hoping we could flip for a pick by the TDL, but that would have required signing Bear I think. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 So happy with PA not getting involved in a bidding war, and give us cap issues for next year, as term is likely, what Baer wants, if not an overpayment 1 year deal. PA knows, what he wants, and I think they save some cash for the offseason to get us another D man, if needed. Also like them to keep a few $ available, should a big rugged top 6 winger suddenly become avaiable, even as loan signing. Like Baer, nice kid, and good team mate, but we have an abundance of depth D and not sure Baer will be much better than Myers in the 4rhd spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Too bad but it shows how hard it is to land nhl caliber D men right now. Apparently Canucks are still looking hard around the league, which is good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I would've liked Bear for the D depth, and if he was cheap. His injury is a bit concerning, hasn't played any hockey in a while. Hoping Allvin will find a better D, as his Plan B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody uses him as a 2nd pair guy, it means they are lacking a true top 4RHD. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we definitely will and should they decide to extend Zadorov, they may decide to play Soucy on the rhd 4D... Think Cole will be gone, but they may extend him, if he wants to play ball. Also, still have to keep room for Poolman for 1 more season, in case he comes off LTIR... Finally, who knows how well/quickly Baer recovers from his injury. Baer would be fine on a cheap 1 year show me deal, but that would be it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Zadorov will eventually be signed to a short term deal (I'm thinking 2-3 year deal). Cole, if he could be brought back for cheap depth, I'm all for that. I think he would be excellent in that role given his age. Poolman's not coming back. He's been on LTIR forever. His career is done for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
