Confirmed with Link: Canucks Sign Tom Willander to ELC

I strive to be this petty. I’m too much of a people pleaser though.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Okay, now what do we freak out about?

Practice facility

Oh yeah, sorry… forgot.

Clearly a big Foote fan…

Overpayment

Thus concludes another chapter of this board brewing up about nothing.

Next!

I was never worried this wasn't going to happen ... it's just a shame it got delayed and wasted a stretch where he could have been playing in the AHL.

I'm assuming he's signing an ATO and is directly into the Abbotsford roster given that they're currently playing Joe Arntsen in playoff games.

If Woo and Wolanin both come back that will leave Willander being scratched. They didn't even give Mynio a look over Arntsen and the gap there is likely smaller than the gap between Hirose and Kudryavtsev and Willander after a long break away from the rink.

Quinn leaving us

 

[ziploc]

Willander, Hughes (please stay), Hronek, EP2, MP3, Mancini

The future looks potentially very bright on the blue line.

 

[lawrence]

It’s inexcusable that it took this long to sign him.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

People people people we really need to learn how to handle ourselves, we freak out over everything

Willander is signed, Quinn will resign, Petey will return to form, Lekkerimaki is gonna develop into Caufield, we are gonna trade for another teams unprotected 1st and win the lottery, demko Vezina, Stanley cup in the next 5 years

This is the golden era !!!!!

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

But in one season they've done a complete rebuild--and now have one of the most dynamic bluelines in the entire Western Conference. EP25, Mancini and now Wilander all 23 and under; and Hughes-Hronek in the prime of their careers. Even Myers coming off a couple of strong seasons.

my gold standard for young canucks d corps is the brief period of ohlund - jovo - aucoin - mccabe

as a group, willander, EP2, and mancini are no match, but damn, hronek, MP3, and mmmmmmffffffffing quinn hughes in front of them?

 

[DiggerDan]

With Willander signed this is the most talented D core the team has had in franchise history, in my opinion. As much as people like to bitch and moan, that is not easy to do. There's obviously a lot of work to do up front, but kudos are deserved.

this

Management closed the gap for them to be $200k apart first.

Please refer to the timeline I shared.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

There we go. More freakouts about f***ing nothing. Relax people.

Oh you must be new here.

Welcome. Your in for quite a treat.

Management closed the gap for them to be $200k apart first.

You are speculating though, we actually don’t know if management held from from the time he graduated to the point where the numbers were first reported.

Dhaliwal specifically reports that the Canucks' raised their offer with his May 9th hit.

Todd Diamond's a lil bitch

By how much? If they stared at what the last 11OA got it could just be 70ish K and then they added 17K just now to seal the deal.

 

[Knight53]

Wasn’t worried about him signing. Now just got to hope these bald clowns don’t trade him. Kid will be a top pairing minute eating stud.

Our defence for the future and Gavin McKenna is the only exciting thing about this franchise right now.

Quinn Hughes - Tom Willander
Elias Pettersson - Filip Hronek
Marcus Pettersson - Victor Mancini
Sawyer Mynio - Kirill Kudryatsev

Is insane.

How much is less relevant than the fact that the Canucks moved up to get to $200k apart. Once there, both sides worked together to get to a deal. Before that move up, it was a stalemate.
