Glad for Ethan! I believe he is a depth defenceman.
whether he signs in vancouver or somewhere else i wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get through the year because of his shoulder.
Don I miss when you was with Dave back in the day ❤
Don no one is sending a dr to look in kelowna. Give your head a shake. Anyone who signs him with subject to a physical. Like in most cases when you buy a house subject to inspection
Dhali also said the Flames WOULD NOT send Zadorov to the Canucks under any circumstance. Fast forward a week and we got him way under value. We’re gna see the Canucks sign Bear next week to a 2x2.
Don't have 2 mill to spend
Met him in Kelowna before practice. Cool guy. Canucks should resign! 🤘🔨
I don't get the persistent enchantment with Bear by D&D. Shannon said it best, he doesn't move the needle. I think they need to roll this d-core the rest of the year and see what happens and hope that Elias Pettersson II can make the jump next year.
That OEL take by Donny was brutal lol
It’s a fair question, and it’ll be asked quite a bit for the next few years.
Its a tough one. Easy to ask when he’s playing good. You don’t even bother bringing it up if he’s still declining
completely disagree, buying him out was a mistake. the cap penalty is going to kill us, even waiting one more year to buy him out and the cap penalty wouldn't have been so bad.
Yep. I mean, its a fair-ish question to ask but OEL at no point in his time with the Canucks was objectively good. So he gets to go down to FLO and play sheltered minutes on a cup contender and suddenly he is vaguely good? Let's not be bullish here, OEL sucks and it would have been unconscionable to give him a roster spot ahead of Friedman who can do most of the same job at one tenth the salary. To say nothing of the space needed to get Zadorov who is CATEGORICALLY superior to OEL in every possible way.
@@GrahamWinshipyes but they would be a much worse team this year with him here. He was awful here and it likely wouldn’t have changed. They would have had to buy out someone else or trade them for nothing anyway. The mistake was benning trading for him in the first place. At least this way they’re good this year with a better looking prospect pool
taking extra strength Tylenol is a great line
Canucks should offer 1 yr deal with the promise of a playoff run. Chance of a cup
He's not a top 4 defenseman, but if he's 100%, he's a very useful, hardworking number 5 who can skate. Personally I think it won't come down to money necessarily. It will be about term and placement. If he wants to play in Vancouver and they offer him an extension beyond this season, I think that does it, unless a true contender offers the same thing. He obviously wants to be in BC ideally. But if the Canucks offer him a #7 spot rather than bottom pairing (assuming he's ready to go), it could be more difficult.
The Maple Leafs are looking for defensemen.
With no cap space Toronto’s not in there mix
I would love to see The Bear join Canada's Team. With Giordano out, and a couple of others on the limp...The Bear would be welcome in Toronto.
Toronto isnt Canada's team. Not even close and every other Canadian team has a better chance for cup first.haha
Since the Canucks didn’t qualify him due to the injury I feel that could have tarnished the relationship and he will go elsewhere.
no, he understands why they didn’t and they’ve been in touch since.
@@ANT4G0NIST I know he knows why and yes they have been in contact but still the loyalty if any has likely diminished.
@@rickweber2556 they wouldn’t be in the sweepstakes right now if the relationship was damaged.
@@ANT4G0NIST sure they would be. More teams to drive up the price and I didn't say the relationship is done I said it is tarnished.
Trade Myers and a high pick for Tanev, 1) you save cap 2) your upgrading your RHd to a stable d-man who can log huge minutes, Shannon is right Bear is nothing special but Tanev is a defensive specialist. I have not seen Juulssen mcward irwin hirose friedman cough up pucks like myers has. Gotta stop the insanity saying Myers eats up minutes thats the actual problem. He also takes bad penalties, has solo rushes up ice that go no where, cant get his shots through from the point, Jryki Lumme edler and Adrian plavsic combined dont equal Myers give aways. Thats what he does with the extra minutes.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was oilers bound
There seems to be some fascination about Ethan Bear... I think he is a serviceable defenceman, but is he definitively better than the likes of Friedman, Juulsen, Myers and Cole? I am not so sure... Remember, he was deemed a spare part with the 'Canes and that was why the Canucks were able to obtain him initially. With the team's play recently seemingly returning to earth back from the hot start that they have, I think it is fair to say this is a team that can make the playoffs, but is not going to win this year. I would much rather see the Canucks give the likes of Hirose, McWard, and Wolanin from the farm a chance to play with the big leagues and see what they have got, then to sign Bear to a contract with terms to further hand-cuff the team's cap.
Bear isn't better than Cole
That's why buying out a player like OEL never really made much sense cap-wise. The cap hit is like $4 million, but you sign some guy for like $2 million... that's the same as if you signed someone for $6 million, except that player is only a $2 million player.
OEL may not be the player he once was, but he still showed flashes of it. Considering he just started to recover from his injury, it would have been better to keep him around.
He’s playing well on the Panthers. Was their No.1 when Ekblad was out., racked up points…. Woulda been interesting to see how he’d play under the new Coaching Staff and surrounding players
@@YakAttack64OEL hated tochett, thats why he asked to be traded out of arizona
@@YakAttack64one thing people never factor in is the market differences. In Sunrise, there’s no external pressure to play well (ex. Media, fans, etc.). Whereas in Vancouver it’s a full 180° difference. Different players thrive in different markets. OEL was never cut out to play in a hot Canadian market and it shows.
@@Jeremy-yh8lv eh I disagree… he played well paired with Myers under Bruce’s first season as coach. Played in all situations. It’s easy to hate on a player when the entire team is not playing well.
@@YakAttack64he was not worth his cap hit. The players they’ve signed already contribute more and they’re more NHL bodies on the squad as a result
Really like this kid if we can slot him in somehow make it work!
Yes they should have kept OEL at lest until they were truly competetive and lower the cap penalty over time... it is still clear they should have sold assets and rebuilt, as they are 4-5 guys away from being a cup contender. You cant win with 3 prospects in your system, capped out, with a 4m cap penalty, for the ideal part of their stanley cup window.
I said they should have bought out meyers ,sighned Soucy and cole and kept O EL
OEL is pathetic...he ducks instead of blocking shots...Tocchet can't stand him either
The fact that you suggest buying out Myers shows how little you know about the inner workings of the CBA
bear is not worth signing. Hes a average player at best I think they need someone else someone newer and younger.
Bear is plenty young
Bear isn't good, doesn't move the needle enough to make Canucks cup contenders with LA and Vegas
Of course he's not going to turn the Canucks into a contender, but that doesn't make him a bad defender in an of himself
@@user-by3nd4rm6c Canucks need another top 4. Not a 5-6. They should trade for one as that’s only way to acquire
They're not trying to win the cup this year, it's a problem for the off-season and beyond@@skoal91
Let him go he's overrated any ways and mentally weak.
Yeah, how would you know that
The oel take...was so cringe to hear. I can't believe it was made. Lost alot of respect.
OEL may be showing flashes of the player he once was, but no way he's worth 7M anymore. He's maybe a 3.5-4M defender this season, but I'm sure he'll regress year by year from here on out
Bear is mediocre at best
