I thought his last 5x$4.05M deal was riskier for the team than this deal (especially with how the salary held over the last 5 years vs the next 2) and that worked out

Defence looks good until Hughes leaves. Forward group looks terrible.

I know NJ's fanbase pines for him everyday, but I have no idea why anyone thinks QH will leave the team that he's captain of, that developed him into what he is, is building the team around him, and just signed a major part of the puzzle for cheap.
 
It looks like the team is back to focusing on defense that can move the puck well and are mobile. DPetey is house money with how much he's improved this year, but if he can maintain along with MPetey, I'm guessing the trickly down effect will keep The One Born Of Chaos playing well and allow Soucy to rediscover the better elements of his game.

Takes the pressure off the forwards as well.
 
It definitely makes it better for sure, because all the pieces are playing really well for Vancouver, but it’s still blows, losing a player like JT Miller, but this makes a lot more sense now after everything done.
It stings, he isn’t an easy replaceable player, but filling all those holes helps. Petey just needs to find his game now
 
players with no trade clauses, who on on contracts that take them until they are 37, don’t usually get great returns

but by all means, tell us it was a “bad deal” by showing us the comparables
You can continue try to justify giving up a 100 point player for some second and third line players if it makes you feel better, but you aren't convincing the rest of us.
 
Hughes - Hronek
M Pettersson - (Myers)
DPetey - Soucy

Forbort - Willander
Mancini

Man, what a great mix of youth and talent
We also have a lot of space to add a playmaking winger, hopefully one that fits with EP.

Have to give props to Allvin for turning a disgruntled player who's 32 and locked up till 2030 for a potential situation in Chytil that JT himself used to become a star (elevated role, minutes) a legit #3 on a great contract, a promising young RHD while also unloading two contracts of players that were clearly swings and misses.
