Sutter is a great complimentary piece on a good team.
On a bad (read: rebuilding) team, not so much
(though I hear his mentoring skills are top notch)
In two years when your Canucks are a good team you sir will be in love with Mr Sutter.
Oh it's true!!

PS: Since his arrival Mr Sutter has been top-6 in points-per-game and by far our best faceoff man

I know that you are familiar with the term "UFA years"
... well every single year on that contract was a "UFA year".

Are you deliberately being obtuse?
This conversation started when ESQ compared Sutter's contract to other UFAs.
You said that wasn't a fair comparison.
You were wrong bro.
His agent was rightly comparing other Unrestricted Free Agency signingsIsland Nucklehead wrote:Unrestricted Free Agency.Strangelove wrote: Benning signed Sutter to a UFA contract!

Who was Vancouver competing against for his services?

Actually it is wonderful when you consider 2 of those minutes-per-game are spent killing penalties.Blob Mckenzie wrote:Considering his icetime is top 2/3 that's wonderful!!!'Strangelove wrote: Sutter is a great complimentary piece on a good team.

Yeah that's funny Blob, but you know better than to put all your stock in one comment...Blob Mckenzie wrote: His "mentoring skills". LOL tells Goldobin to play with "grit and balls" when Brando has NEVER done this. "Excuse me can you channel your inner Cam Neely while I will play like Edith Bunker".

Sutter's contract is "essentially" a UFA contract, Virtanen is "essentially" a Gillis pick, the strategy is "essentially" rebuilding.

So we're comparing a guy that signed a deal a year in advance of hitting UFA status, to players that could shop around and get the highest possible value and term from any bidder in the league. You're saying they're in "essentially" the same situation.Looking at last season's UFA signings, his contract is far from the worst and is sort of middle-of-the-pack for market value.
