This is that depth on the back end I had hoped for Vancouver, though I am aware this will not be popular with many people.

Jordie Benn what a steal & Tyler Myers will help the D with Quinn Hughes being that much better. They have trouble staying healthy on Defense. Now with who we have on our top 8 forwards I'm very encouraged. This team if handled properly could surprise many fans.
Biega needs to go
No Seven for myers fine, to more depthguys perfect, Oscar might surprise us if he find his place, with joulevi 8 intresting players at D, Well Done
Great signing by the Canucks to get Myers.
He's going to fall off a cliff with his skating. His skating was already declining. That's why giving Myers 5 years is a bit too long for my liking.
I like the moves by the Canucks. I think they are playoff bound.
Myers is a upgrade on Hutton
Benn is a upgrade on Pouliot
In 2 years add Myers' contract to the list of worst in the league.
Edler – Tanev
Hughes – Myers
Juolevi – Stetcher
Benning – Biega, Fantenberg
That’s actually pretty decent assuming the top two can play 60 games at least.
Still a bit iffy on the left side with the young guys.
400th like !
Canadian market's love jordie, he play's better in them too.
good signing øn myers
Am I the only one excited to see what Vancouver can do next year, I think they are doing to be one of the most fun and competitive teams to watch.
Fantenberg is pretty good
My personal opinion but if FA doesn't bring Benning back he's a short sighted fool. The Canucks where worse then an expansion team when he took over and I mean the old type of expansion team not the new Vegas type expansion team.
Progress.
They are way better than last year.
What happens to Juolevi? Does he play in the AHL?
Benning: (sneezes)
Twitter: (loses their fucking minds)
There’s a reason I’m not on Twitter. Too many idiots who think they’re smart because they’re on Twitter. If all of you are smart, go be an executive in an NHL front office. Go on, what are you waiting for?
The contract is awful as soon as the ink is dry. A team thats as bad as Vancouver being up against the cap without having paid Boeser/Pettersson etc is laughable.
Im just relieved its not 7-8mil for 7 years.
Are we getting Tanev back?
Honestly not s bad deal. Myers is 29 so 5 years is a good term. Also 6M/season is decent for a top 4 d man these days.
Curious if the Nucks promised Benn a role on the second pair. MTL offered him the same exact deal and he refused. Maybe he just wanted to play at home.
Last of the heart-attack crew have gone. Now to the new crew…..seriously though it could've been much worse.
5 years 6 mil is literally the contract I dreamed of as too far fetched to be likely.
I was a little bit worried at the Myers signing at first, but after seeing some comments and NHL coverage on Sportsnet I think it's okay for now but at the same time cant really judge until October. The Benn and Fattenburg signing I was okay with … good for depth. Just sad to see Schenn go, but happy for him to play in Tampa I hope he gets his game back. Also good luck to Granlund and Gaunce, always liked the underdog players. Can't wait for the season to start !!
Montreal offered Benn the same deal but he decided to play at home for the team he grew up watching.
Hutton off the team that alone makes these contracts a win.
Wait I just woke up (timezones)… where did Hutton sign?
Good analysis. The Canucks got much bigger and tougher which is what they needed sorely, and also their blueline was gross last season, so adding Myers and Benn as well as a full season of Hughes, the Canucks are looking much better.
Rip
Omg are canucks actually excited about Myers? 🤣
I've always had a soft spot for the Canucks since my NYR beat them in '94. Love your fan base's passion and have always followed the team since then. Let's get back into the playoffs Nucks!
It’s an upgrade from last season, that’s for sure
Do not assume he is as good as his brother Benn.
Id feel fine if they had Brock Boeser signed but they dont and im scared
BC boy Benn
Will Hughes be an upgrade or too young/ not make the team?
Good to see Nucks trying to make something happen.. Only a few options & they stepped fwd! Too bad Luongo screwed them for 3 yrs.. & Schenn was doing well so too bad to lose him
Fantenberg is from sweden jungby and i live in jungby!
