I didn't mind the signings, just didn't like them getting 3 players and the term is too long. - Reubenkincade
Let me get this straight. You dont mind the signings, BUT you don't like the signings?

Basically yes.
2 players was fine IMO.
I also realize we needed another centre(Beagle), until Lavoie or Cozens are ready too make the jump too nhl.π |

I don't think that's the point anyone is trying to make at all. When Beagsey was the same age as Gaunner is now, he had scored less goals and points, and played few games. In parts of ten seasons he has only managed to score 10 or more goals twice. I don't dislike Jay Beagle as a player, he's good at his job. I don't dislike that he earns $4 million per year (or whatever his number is), good for him. I dislike that the Canucks management team felt the need to overspend in free agency.
In three or four years, when the Canucks win the cup with all their elite talent, Gaunce will be the defensive specialst, putting up 7 or 8 goals and 20 points, and he will get his big fat payday, and when that happens I will hope it is somewhere other than Vancouver. - 1970vintage
To your first point, I strongly disagree. If Gaunce was plucked off waivers no one would give a sh!t. Fans can't let go of our draft picks. Look at Subban, Cassels, Gaunce etc. He is trash that belongs in Utica.
To your second point, who cares how many goals Beagle had scored by the time he was 24. You do recall he was in the ECHL and AHL for ages right? Do you expect Gaunce to have the same developmental curve that Beagle had? Of course not.
Look, I have never supported the Beagle signing, but I don't stress the minor details. Our draft choices and trading real assets like Tanev keep me up at night. Not losing Gaunce on the wiaver wire and giving term to grinders.
Anyone that prefers Gaunce as a hockey player to beagle (independant of contract) is an idiot. That's about all I can say on this matter. Now let's get back to morning hate and the 2021 roster |

Jim Benning is a late late '70's middle aged white male driving a second hand early '70's Corvette. He is way over compensating for something. |

Horvat would still be in the OHL - 1970vintage
Even after a whole season in a 4th line(ish) role, the jump into the top-6 was tough for him. I am hoping someone like Gaudette is up to the challenge of a top-9 role, otherwise by default we will be seeing the likes of Beagle up in the lineup |

The Beagle signing only made sense if they are planning on selling sutter at the TDL. If they keep both, itβs foolish |

This is the part that frustrates me. If these are your staples on the 4th line, then for the next 4 years your prospects have to crack the top-9 to make the NHL. It really limits the lineup flexibility and places unrealistic expectations on kids trying to get acclimated to the NHL level - WhiteLie
Our weakness is the top 9 lol
D being even more so.
I get your frustration to some degree but the type of prospects we have are not suited for 4th line minutes. When or if the kids need the oppurtunity & cut their teeth on the 4th line those same signings will be done or moved out for spots. Adding to that any injuries to checking role players we donβt have call ups in the system to replace them. Hopefully in 2-3yrs is when the crunch kicks in and Beagle etc get pushed out if the prospects develop. |

With Detroit signing Larkin, they are over 2million over cap. Will Benning try take on Franzen's cap hit and what would a fair return be? |

The 4th year bothers ppl too much. Buyout or waivers is an option if needed. Cap space should not be an issue whatsoever. Iβm more focussed on the 1st 3yrs being productive & helpful in their roles TG sets out. |

The Beagle signing addressed a shortage at C whether we like him or not. Allows AG to fit in when ready & other options if he can play his way onto the team. Eg Sutter can become expendable if C depth is there. This season expectations are tempered & seeing the kids grow is what we need to see. |

Speaking of Garth Brooks I was driving with the wife and I was singing The Dance. The wife then asks me if I wrote that song ? I said dear that is a world famous song . She says I know it is world famous but it seems like you wrote it. I told her" We drive a Santa Fe , does it really seem like I wrote a multi million dollar song?"

Isn't Beagle a 4 th line player? Probably another last guy that should be getting hate ? - VANTEL
Beagle will be 2nd line here once the injuries take over in Jan/Feb. |

I think part of it that gets me is the twang in the voice of most country artists. I think I just prefer the power of a rock artist
Prime example

Since you are a rock guy check out the new Dee Snider album 'For the Love of Metal'.
I'd say top 5 rock/metal albums of the year so far. |
