That has to be the most unintimidating defense I have ever seen.

Ya where is the DidRichard / Dirk combo?

Edit: Richard... stupid HB

I mean, it's the same as last year (OEL for Edler)

I hope Hamonic and Scmidt move on personally.

but at least they're both big, physical players.... right?

This trade is 17 times worse than what Flyers paid for Risto.

How does this effect the cap when Hogs and Podz come off their ELCs?

Edit: JB probably doesn't care because he knows he'll be gone by then.
- A_SteamingLombardi

In 2 years it will be Horvat, Miller and Hogz
Podz is 3 years and Pearson and Myers are off the books.

So in 2 years we'll like be in a bind, less so in 3.

We kind of need Hammy now.

2022 & 2023 2nds added to the trade.

What's our cap look like now?

Plus have to re-up Hughes, Petterson, Garland and D!ckerson in addition to OEL's hit.

Is it possible that the team is actually going to be more cap strapped post trade and resigns lol?

WHAT????

You're just salty because you spent hours and hours pouring over potential 1st round draft picks

This might be the worst trade in history.

This move protects us from other dumb moves in free agency, right?

"Benning is the best drafter in canucks history!"

*Benning proceeds to trade away consecutive 1st round picks and two 2nd round picks in 3 years*

don't worry, if/when the trade doesn't work out, the same guys praising jim on this trade will blame FA and a couple of gingers advising him.

Lol let's not get carries away

Did we get a time machine in the deal for OEL?

He'd better play much better than he has, which is possible I guess. Great that we dumped the 3 contracts but we took on nearly as much for 6 more years?

What could possibly go wrong with paying a declining swedish vet big money for 6 years?

Garland is a nice add, hope OEL finds the fountain of youth.

All he had to do was wait 1 more year. He essentially paid

9oa pick
2nd round pick
7th round pick

For

12 mill in cap space for 1 year
A very good 2nd line winger (RFA)
And a very very bad contract and 2nd pairing defender through 2026/27.

The worst part
Vancouver isnt getting cap relief they are taking on more
Oel even at 7 and garland comes in higher because beagle is retired on LTIR

2022 & 2023 2nds added to the trade.

Per Friedman:


Okay...OEL and Garland for Beagle, Eriksson, Roussel a 1st tonight, a 2nd (next year) and a 7th. ARIZ retains 12 per cent of OEL salary

You're just salty because you spent hours and hours pouring over potential 1st round draft picks

The NYR just got a 2nd and a 4th liner for Buchnevich. Him and Garland are pretty equal.

So Benning just paid a 1st, 2nd, 7th, and who knows what else to take on 5 extra years of one of the worst contracts in the league.

Feels like AZ just threatened to take the deal off the table and Jim just keeps throwing 2nds at him.

Looking forward to seeing what this actually is.

that might be a bit much but i admire the passion.

The only guy praising Jim is trolling.

This might be the worst trade in history.

Lol this is historically bad.

You can tell how bad it is by Nucker’s overt excitement and exclamation point use !!

Forgot to mention the offloading of dead weight that everyone complained about endlessly for the past several years

The same slurpers will be praising whatever GM is here that buys out OELs remaining contract or trades a 1st in 3 or 4 years to get out of it. The blind loyalty and lack of critical thinking to evaluate trades knows no bounds.
