[Placebo Effect]

Manny Malhotra to Vancouver, 3 yrs / 7.5M no trade AAV 2.5.

Bob McKenzie

[King of Anarchy]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So happy.

[CCF23]

$2.5 mil is kinda steep, but he'll fit AWESOME on our bottom 6.

[windflare]

3 years, 2.5mil per, No Trade.

[ChemicalHansen]

3 yrs / 7.5 million

Score 30+ goals or this deal is a bust.



Note: WTH is an "AAV"?

[Lucbourdon]

Good deal

[JannikAtTheDisco]

Holy thats overpayment...but I think I'll take it he'll be a big piece of the puzzle

[pitseleh]

A bit much money for my liking but happy with the player.

[FiveAndGame]

Good deal! How much does this mean we have for Hamhuis?

[Durr]

Burrows is kicking himself now.

With Bieksa gone? As much as we want.

[King of Anarchy]

How is 2.5 a bit overpayment for Manny Malhotra? Colby Armstrong isn't much better, and he got 3 million per.

Edit: I take that back. Armstrong isn't better at all.

[Shane]

Maybe 500k too much, but he'll be great on our third line. Makes us tougher to play against.

i'd say we overpaid for quality on our bottom 6. 2.5/per and a NTC is steep for a 3rd liner.

we used to think bernier was overpaid in our bottom 6... we basically trade that for someone who has always been expected to be nothing more than a bottom 6 (while bernier was always thought to have the potential to play top 6)

[smileyface]

A bit more money than I thought he would get but I really like this signing.

[NFITO]

surprised he's getting 3yrs, with Gillis wanting young guys to push for roster spots... and $2.5mill/yr seems too high IMO.

[parabola]

Overpaid by about .5 mil/per ... But I really like Malholtra.

Wow McGuire with his Hodgson comments

I was thinking the same thing, manny is better and 500k cheaper

[Tiranis]

Seems like a good deal. We have the cap space so why not? For a team with cap space issues I could understand how this could be a bad deal, but for Canucks? Perfect.

[Blueangel1891]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

[CloutierForVezina]

This is the kind of guy we really, really need in our bottom 6.

Think of it this way - he cost 500k more than Bernier

[Diamonddog01]

Brutal, brutal signing. Not happy with this at all. If Hodgson makes the team (you have to assume he will at some point over the next 3 years) we have a 4th line centre making 2.5million AND with an NTC?

Just as bad as the Armstrong signing. Just an awful headscratcher.

[dangerous dan]

This will be a great fit and Malholtra will anchor our third line and solidify the PK...but I hope this deal doesn't bite us down the road, especially with that NTC. Maybe it's just a limited NTC?

[BC Ben]

Can win faceoffs, plays the PK and understands his role in the NHL...

I will take it even if it puts us under some pressure for the cap.

PLUS - He isn't on SJ anymore...
