Sandro 251 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Paid a lot but it's a short term deal for Vrbata. Decent. Hopefully he provides some of the goals that we definitely lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Ovechkin8 262 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 fair deal considering what a lot of others are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro 251 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Daniel - Henrik - Vrbata Burrows - Bonino/Vey - Kassian Higgins - Vey/Bonino - Jensen Matthias - Richardson - Dorsett Sestito Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Tanev Sbisa - Corrado Stanton - Weber Miller Lack Send Markstrom to the Comets before waivers kicks in. Trade Hansen for a couple of picks. Sign Tanev 4yr/12M, Kassian 2yr/3.6M, Vey 2yr/3M, Weber 1yr/800k. Gives us 3M in cap space and if San Jose keeps doing... whatever they're doing, the Canucks might be able to snag that third Pacific Division seed.

Guest Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Linden Vey is a natural born and raised Right Winger, not sure thats the best thought process on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro 251 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 He's listed as a C/RW and was playing center in the AHL last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgins 3,617 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Damn overpayment for Vrbata but certainly not the worst contract this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 He's listed as a C/RW and was playing center in the AHL last season. If I were them I wouldn't put him at C, it's actually one of the reasons he took so long to develop, stunting him by putting him at C. He is better at RW where he played most of juniors.

Sandro 251 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Damn overpayment for Vrbata but certainly not the worst contract this week. Meh. Two year bridge deal while the kids develop. Plus, Vrbata with the Sedins on the PP sounds awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Ovechkin8 262 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Considering Moulson, Bolland and Grabovski all got 5mil to 5.5mil at 4 years plus, I wouldn't consider this an overpayment at all. I'd consider it top end open market value, but overpayment? Nah. 2 years with this contract won't hurt us at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro 251 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Hell, as long as Vrbata comes in and gives the team 25-25 for a couple seasons I'll be happy. The roster is obviously being built to remain competitive while they wait for the kids. Two years from now Lack will be the starter, Kassian + Vey + Jensen should be locked into top 9 roles, Horvat + Shinkaruk + Gaunce should be on or close to being on the roster, and Virtanen + McCann + Cassels will be closing in as well. That's just the forwards. Tanev, Corrado, Stanton, and Sbisa (if he can get his act together) help form a really solid young d-core going forward. There's reason for optimism in Canuck-land, for the first time in a while. At the very least it'll be interesting to watch a very different team this season.

Guest Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Keep in mind that the less years the deal is the AAV will be higher. So 5 Million is on par with what he'd receive elsewhere, unless he went for a longer term. (ex. Ehrhoff in Buffalo, DiPietro in NYI etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Canucks actually have a decent pool of prospects for once? I'm pretty sure Canucks got Curtis Valk from Medicine Hat too. At least I heard he was headed to Vancouver the other day. He has over 250 points in the WHL in his career. Went undrafted largely because of his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's heavily speculated the Canucks will sign him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandro 251 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I would've done a better season, but I have no idea where the majority of my tickets from previous seasons have gone. I was cleaning up in my room, saw the tickets and thought of something to do with them. Sure the season sucked, but there are some decent memories in those tickets. The home opener, back when the honeymoon with Torts was still on and the Canucks were playing well. The game vs the Leafs, Bure's number was retired and the Leafs got wrecked. The game vs the Bruins in December was the best atmosphere in Rogers Arena in years, and the Bruins got destroyed. And of course the start of the downfall, the game vs Calgary where Mount Torts imploded. (also the first night I went out drinking with friends so there's that too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
