Since you're not that bright, apparently, I was being sarcastic, your post was childish and stupid.

Who said they had to make a move next week?
- LeftCoaster

You are right I am not that bright that is why I come here and read the comments section to raise my IQ level.

My thanks comment was also sarcasm.

My apologies if I offended with my childish sense of humour.

Guddy is years younger the Edler and Tanev. Not same comparison for long term. As for NHL years played there is a base there to know what you got in Guddy. Why they made the trade. His recent play just doesn't raise price but it may be wishful thinking on lowering it.
- Nuck4U

Just because you're younger doesn't mean you should be paid more. He has the worst +\- on the team and doesn't produce offence. I am not saying he won't be worth a big contract but definitely not right now. They made the trade to help with with the D. He has some added benefits, like being a good character guy and a leader but doesn't mean you throw more money at him then any dman has seen in Van in a long time/ever.

I got that

I hope you're not soft and can take my jabs?

That would be laughable at best...hopefully not true.

What is the right price and term?

I won't bring up my post above to this reply of suggested news.

It' all good I have very thick skin. I find it all entertaining here great for a laugh and some good hockey discussions ...well sometimes anyways.

it's entertaining for sure. I work in remote locations so it helps pass the time.

The Utica Comets (10-11-1) defeated TOR 3-2 tonight.
Subban: 1 goal (GWG), 3 shots
Virtanen: 1 goal
Grenier: 1 assist
Demko: 32/34 saves

Utica beat the Marlies. It is December , Toronto does what it does best

Id much rather give Grenier a shot in the lineup then Skille/Megna/Chaput

Ya. Live in a remote.location So I can relate to that.

No kidding, would rather sign him 3.5-4mill tops for the one year and let him walk after that as opposed to that anchor.

Dude has yet to prove he can even be a top 4 defenseman, paying him as a top 2 won't make it so

I get his play hasn't been good enough. Guddy may be first to admit it. Critics will say that's all he is.

Here is the problem. The market has moved. Only Edler remains as any established D that signed a contract. The market has moved up a lot since then. Cap has gone up so do contracts as well.

So he's up for new contact. He's not going for a small bump on it. Same situation with trade for Sutter and then signing extension. JB knows what he traded for at this level. They are not looking for bridge deals and will lock up long term. If that is the case then he's getting the big contract having played for so many years.

Personally, I'd like to see a bridge for minimum raise and 2 year term. But things don't work that way after commitment on trade. Plus JB would want long term not to risk Guddy going to UFA.

It's Benning and contracts

What is the right price and term?

You tell me.
Keep in mind, the guy is currently being outplayed by Sbisa.





SSSSSSBBBBBBIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Whiskey-Tango

Hasn't top 2 money moved into the 6M per year range? Superstars much more.

Demko will be in the AHL again next year, so your point is irrelevant.

How do you know for sure ?

lol Guddy's not playing well enough now. But contracts like his are based on years played. Look above to my reply post to Kaynine for more.

If Hall had of run into Tryamkin instead of Larsen would we be talking about his concussion?
- A_SteamingLombardi

I haven't back-read (and I'm not going to) but if Larsen is heading home he should stay there. Once he has recovered there is a spot reserved for him on the Comets' 3rd pairing.

It was clean within the CBA and I don't thinkit would matter who it was that got hit here. I just still think it was unnecessary. Hall fully committed to the hit before Larsen had the puck. Had that puck gone passed Larsen w/o him touching it, the result would be the same, except Hall would be getting suspended right now.
- Retinalz

Yeah. Main thing about that hit is Hall came out of nowhere. It was an unusual place for him coming the other way around the net at the time based on the play. Why PL had no chance and didn't protect himself.

- Nuck4U

Tanev just signed a deal with decent term for like 4.25. only 2.5 years difference i believe in age.

A little birdie tells me the Canucks have a 6 year 32.5M contract extension agreement in place with Guddy's agent which won't (can't) be announced until the first week in 2017.

So my question is what happens first? Guddy scores a goal or the 6 year extension is bought out?


- rojan61

I wouldn't worry too much about guddy signing a deal even close to that

- Nuck4U

Bridge deals are deals for players coming out of their ELC not a 25yr old.

Would you say Guddy is in the same place, player wise, as Seth Jones? Or Hampus Lindholm?

I don't think he is and that's what that contract would put him. If JB signs him to that contract the he should be fired a day later!!

Yeah. Main thing about that hit is Hall came out of nowhere. It was an unusual place for him coming the other way around the net at the time based on the play. Why PL had no chance and didn't protect himself.
- Nuck4U

What is so unusual for a player to go to an area where the puck might be headed ?

How do you know for sure ?

I know everything?

Contracts also tend to be based on skill, deployment, consistency, success and progressive development.

Even when Edler and Tanev were on the roster, Hutton and Stecher where logging more ice-time than E.G and they have a combined total of 118 NHL game experience to Erik's 335.
