Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

Hamonic needs to come in at around one million to make it worthwhile to sign him. He's strictly third pairing material at this stage and that's where he would fit here. He is of the Schenn/Bagosian ilk, clinging fiercely to life whilst observing the onward march of evolution steadily eliminate his kind.

This here latest article is pointing more along what you are predicting as a show-me deal. My thoughts are if he's willing to consider under 2 mil., there would, (will), be other teams in the mix. Good picture though mm? Scary as hell, yikes. Go back in time 10 years-- when younger --and I'd say time has not been friendly.

Taking that hellacious uppercut from Guddy on the chin is a good indicator of the kind of stuff Hamonic is made of. We all like this kind of throwback that's still willing to eat just about anything to the face to help his team win but Cool Hand Jim can't allow himself to get all sentimental and overpay again. One million max for old Hambone, the Tampa/Vegas clearance sale is on. Good players must go!

If true Travis Green is a wanting, he's got Jim's ear no less, or so the story goes. He would be an upgrade on Benn. I like Benn as a team first guy and he's a supportive sort but the on ice performance is just not where it needs to be. Guess it all comes down to how important is this season?

[Cherry Picker]

Rather go with the prospects than Harmonic at this point. His mobility is Benn-like. The prospects are more mobile. It’s a short season and the prospects need minutes at the NHL level before Benn and Edler potentially leave as UFAs at the end of the upcoming season. Harmonic might even opt out due to Covid. PTO is as much as I’d offer Harmonic. Benning should hold to his plan and tell Green to play the kids and win if he wants his new contract. Green defers to veterans like Loui too much. Take away those options. I’d rather watch rookie mistakes than watch Harmonic get turnstiled each game. If they need to they can find a better add at the trade deadline when teams out of the playoffs with too many defensemen might give up someone good for a reasonable price to avoid losing him for nothing during the Seattle expansion draft.

Injuries are inevitable. We need another vet

[Richardstroker69]

Hamonic beside OJ is where it's at.

I still think you put Myers with joulevi and hamonic with Hughes. Hughes makes those slow footed dmen look good, Luke Schenn and Tanev being 2 examples.

Wait a minute....where the fuck is Widow? Living in her vehicle during renos?

You still alive Wids?

[ESQ]

Can't really argue with that.

But there are three rookies on D that I want to see get NHL action this year. One of them (Rafferty) I wanted to see last year, but we had zero injuries on the right side.

I think I'd rather save the ltir space, see what we got, and go for a bend-over trade with some desperate team.

Like, if Loui retires, we can get T Johnson for, like, Baertschi plus Ferland's LTIR. That kind of desperation deal appeals more than Hamonic, unless he does sign a Schenn style deal.

[Cousin Strawberry]

One injury in the top 4 sees 3 of Benn, Raffy, jew-levi or wrathboner dressing full time. This would be a terrible situation.

Another half decent vet who can move up and down the line-up (like Hamonic for example) is required unless we're going all in on the lottery (which we most certainly are not. Wasting an entry level year of QH and EP would be a magnanimous fuck up)

Even two injuries in the top four has happened before. It no doubt could easily happen again. Especially in a condensed season, (and of course playoffs.
I endorse The Wiz idea. Like I said earlier, there would still be room for a new fella without injuries and I'm sure Travis will try at least 2 or 3 of our
other new Dees throughout the campaign.

[Strangelove]

(he won't get the multi-year $4M+ contract Micky predicted lol, more like a one-year $1.5M in my opinion)

He might have many moons ago when I said that. On that radio clip, Moj sais he doesn't think not choosing to participate in bubble play hurt his value.

I think it did for sure. I think a show-me deal would be more like 2.2.

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Twas 32 days ago you said "multi-year $4M+ " Micky:

http://www.canuckscorner.com/forums/vie ... 18#p403018

Long after the bubble thing. "Many moons ago"??

I laughed at you 32 days ago, yet you persisted with your "multi-year $4M+ ".

And the show-me contract could easily be as low as $1M btw....

As I told you last time we discussed Hamonic, he wants to play in Western Canada, close to home. (Winterpeg)

This is not a secret, most folks in the hockey world have known this for years.

How many more times would you like me to tell you?

[Strangelove]

Hamonic beside OJ is where it's at.

Word.

Lurking!! All moved in and just hanging art work today. Then its time to go to the wine store. I have a new wine rack that holds 10bottles and its empty!!!

There hasn't been much on this site to really entice a girl to come out and play. Maybe once the season starts.

Did I tell you I love the idea of a Canadian Division?

[Strangelove]

YAY Wids!
