Excellent deal. Unless he runs into injury issues, I don’t think this will end up being a mistake.
Honestly I think he’ll be better given a few more yearswow the last few days have been gillis/gilman level
I'm still getting used to having competent management. It's kind of surreal.
I don't think you guys know what hometown discount means.he took a discount. vancouver is certainly not his hometown though.
Nice signing! 15 million left in cap space, can the Canucks get one or both of Zadorov and Lindholm signed?
Very good player, but yeah I wouldn't be comfortable at that number.You should have been delighted if that would have been happened.
Terrific player. Absolutely stoked at this contract/value. Scored 40 ES points in 76 games last year from the 3rd line, one of the most physical players in the league, great PK guy. Signed through his prime.
Beats paying Nurse $9.25 million for the next 6 years to play bottom pairing minutes.and Joshua shot at a 21% shooting rate while Foegele was at 10%
typically 28 year olds, especially those just finishing their 2nd full season.. don't get better with age
and your team is still paying OEL not to play with you for 4 more years!

well first off, relax how you talk to people. second. ive been around long enough to what it actually means.
Why is that? I'd say its much more likely that a 28 year old with 8 years of NHL experience doesn't get better with age then a player like Joshua. A player who wasn't handed every opportunity on a silver platter and had to work his way up and play his way into a more important role is more likely to get better with age. I'd say the more likely thing that would make this age poorly is its hard to be a more physical player as you enter your 30s, but due to playing college until he was 23 and losing almost a whole season to covid he doesn't have quite as many miles on his body.typically 28 year olds, especially those just finishing their 2nd full season.. don't get better with age
I’d add that there aren’t a lot of players who follow Joshua’s career path. So you can’t really say what is the ‘typical’ projection. How many players have a break out season at age 28? Tim Thomas maybe? Not many others.Why is that? I'd say its much more likely that a 28 year old with 8 years of NHL experience doesn't get better with age then a player like Joshua.

This year was the first year he got to play with more talented linemates like Garland and then Lindholm in the playoffs. Even then, he got basically zero PP time.
Err what?
He did have a high shooting percentage...even if it falls back down to earth, which it most likely will, (let's say Foegele's shooting %) in terms of real numbers that means ES 11 goals over a full season. Which is fine - he also brings so much more to the team than points.

You tell me, you seem to have your finger on the pulse …. all I know is he was part of a third line that was arguably the best in the League for stretches last season… the Canucks are in go for it now mode not p***y around mode….What year do you think he'll be bought out?
It's a fair contract but steal? That's a big stretch.
This makes me think that Foegele could get something like 4x4.
How do you feel about Rasmussens deal?Very good player, but yeah I wouldn't be comfortable at that number.
