Eww, bargain bin shopping with $15 million of cap space.

Edit: 1 year no risk signing, Edmundson getting 4 million makes this deal look good.

 

[Lindgren]

Pair him with Boqvist.

Trash

Don't mind the player—brings the size and defensive game of Cole and Zadorov.

But, I hate his injury history. He's been out long-term with groin and back injuries in his career. These are the sort that tend to be because of mechanical deficiencies in the body rather than bad luck or accidents (shot blocks, bad falls, any Carson Soucy injury, etc)

 

[Rowlet]

His possession metrics are scary bad.

 

[dez]

Afp has him at 1 year 1.2 million, i imagine he doubles it.

i expect nothing and still able to be disappointed, seriously this team has taken at least 10 years off my life.

Watching the canucks is not a hobby?

I always knew after that one time he went after Hoggy that he would eventually join us....

Not when it's literally ruining your life.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I like it smart move. Good bounce back candidate.

it's true

 

[ProviesGhost]

depth or pencilled into bottom 6?

 

[Jannik Hansen]

I like it smart move. Good bounce back candidate.

Bounce back to what? Being a 6th d?

 

[vancityluongo]

meh

would have rather saved that money to target a better player but oh well

 

[Rowlet]

Respectfully, you've been here since 2006. If 2024 is the worst part of being a Canucks fan, you should spend more time outside.

Canucks just won the division with a 50 win season and got to R2G7, a Norris defenceman, two 100pt C's, and a vezina nominated goalie, coach of the year winner, GM of the year nominee.

I say this with the utmost respect, touch grass.

Like literally go for a walk or something. Go hiking.

The value is ok but the issue here is that we’re replacing two guys in Cole and Zadorov who could play top-4 minutes and Forbort is basically a pure 3rd pairing guy and a LH Juulsen.

Injury history also concerning.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Bounce back to what? Being a 6th d?

So, we should have paid $5 million for a number 4/5.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

If he gets beaten out out by EP2 or Breeze etc can be buried in Abby.
Depth on D is always needed.

 

[Killer Orcas]

No risk signing for 3rd pair we need some vets for the bottom pair and he fills that.
