"Someone like Highmore"? What does that mean? He's a center who's taken 3 - that's right, THREE - faceoffs all year. And won one.Mëds wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 8:45 pmBeagle has one more year, and him coming off to be replaced by Highmore doesn't really make a difference next year considering the roster and the state of it all. And note I said you need a guy like Beagle. One who can win draws. If you can get someone like Highmore who can also win faceoffs above 50% of the time.....well then sure.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 5:10 pm You don’t have someone with a $3million cap hit playing on the 4th line, Beagle is hopeless. I thought Steve Bernier was the king of Stonehands but Beagle takes the cake
If Gadjovich is in your 4th line that’s no good. He needs to be further up the line up with centres who could actually set him up, the only thing Beagle can set is swatting at the puck like it’s a hot potato
We're definitely on the same page regarding Gadjovich.
Does anyone actually think Highmore is an NHL center?
I mean, he could be, but he'd be the worst 4th line center in the league. Which is why - all due respect to the Chef - it's ok to pay 4th line C/#1 PKer $3 million. It keeps guys like Highmore in the AHL where they belong.
Even if Beagle is overpaid at $3 million, he's still 3 times the player Highmore is, so wouldn't that mean Highmore at league minimum is overpaid?
Guys like Vesey, Highmore, Graovac are # 16, 17, and 18 on the Canucks depth chart, and that's where they belong.
