Jake Debrusk is gonna fit right in on this Canucks team given that his playoff success is built on shooting at double his regular season rate while getting caved in the entire time.

Arvidsson is the better player on a cheaper contract and not a 7 year albatross. No brainer IMO

Exactly! I can't count how many times I saw Arvidsson against us the last 2 playoff runs and how he was ALL OVER the place! He is the PERFECT fit for us. DeBrusk, as nice it'd be to put him in the middle wingers, he's not a true upgrade over Arvidsson.

Debrusk was useful to a price point, good for him. I will say though, he was a Leafs killer in the playoffs and I always appreciated that haha.

“What’s the mood like in Vancouver among the fanbase Murph?”

Any answer other than “bitter, petty, immature, and obsessed with the Oilers” would be inaccurate.

I think Leon and Viktor are going to terrorize the league and be well-hated by opposing fans

That Edmundson contract is so unreal that I had to give it a double take. The stupidity of some of these GMs is astounding.
The Debrusk contract is high too but not as crazy as the Edmundson deal.

Makes me even more thrilled about the Brown and Arvidsson signings.

$5x5 for Monahan from the Blue Jackets takes the cake for me. Astoundingly stupid.

I don't think he is. Only 2yrs tho at 4m so it's palatable. Plus Arvi has an injury prone problem and he's small/fragile.

DeBrusk was awesome in the playoffs too. Of all teams to get him, it sucks the Cucks got him.
Debrusk has a career high 50 points and only had 40 points last year

he's not that good and ultra streaky

I’m just basing it on the fact that Foegele is 3 years younger and 4 inches taller and 25 pounds heavier and 13 injuries fewer than Arvidsson. IT does start to add up and grind a guy down. Foegele is basically an Ironman who despite his limitations has shown signs of improvement lately. Arvidsson trending the other way.

Like I said, if we somehow got something resembling prime Arvidsson it’d be great but we should temper expectations.

What a dumb take lol. Foegele may be the better player?
