Man I love this GM

 

[VanillaCoke]

Dhaliwal is wasted already

 

[Canucks LB]

Sprong free > Mercer in a trade

Also, I think he’s a better player

 

[Canucks LB]

This general manager and President just gets it.

Strike the players you want, save some cap, and pick up some decent value later.

It’s common sense, but it’s nice that they are actually following on it, unlike the past.

Still wasted from yesterday.

 

[Canucks LB]

I wonder if this opens up trading Hoglander for a top 4 D.

I will be OK with it

[Canucks LB]

Under 1 million is absolutely ridiculous

What a deal

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Bargain bin shopping for high quality value. Love it!

 

[VanillaCoke]

That's an easy homerun

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hard to argue with signing a guy with back to back 40+ point seasons for $975,000. Could be a good money puck signing.

Shrewd value by the Swedish Chef.

Hope it's on the cheap. Was hoping we would have a couple spots for opportunity but injuries will happen i guess and he can score goals.

My arguments be damned as this management team would know the player better than i do. Just never a big fan hope to be swayed different

Thanks for cleaning up the thread title and links, @Mr. Canucklehead. On my phone and trying to get the kids ready to go out for ice cream.

It's a 1y/0.975m contract.

The Hoglander equation is pretty simple.

Organization has to be confident he will play as he did in the regular season come the upcoming playoffs.

If they don’t think he can, he’s a bad bet short term bc he won’t help in games that matter. Also long term, a (likely) good regular season performance means he’ll be in for a contract that no one will want around the league.

if there’s a way to turn hoglander + contract + pick into something at RD or C, it’s definitely something to look at.

wonder if he sounds more like Don Cherry as he gets more hammered

 

[Hammman]

Incredibly low risk/moderate reward.

This is a fantastic depth signing that allows you to trade Hoglander if the right opportunity comes along. Wouldn't actually be surprised if they try attaching Hoglander to Poolman and just accept a late draft pick and the cap space.

I’d gladly trade Hoglander, Suter, and a 1st + extra pick for someone like Sillinger. Or obviously if there’s something better available.

Hoglander and to a lesser extent Suter are expendable.

I guess a girl with an itty bitty waist finally walked in.

Well then......colour me impressed. i was fearing a deal that would require roster jigging. At that price it's more depth and depth that can score in limited minutes which is one of the strengths of good teams.

My arguments are irrelevant at that price. Good signing
