Well that's a commitment for sure.

I do like Guenther though. I hope he ends up as a superstar because then it makes Vancouver's trade for OEL look even more stupid.

Is this what an 8-year Connor Zary extension looks like? Seems like a similar player

Who?

Not yet, I don't think. Guenther had 1 more point in 18 less games last year, and I think Bingo has posted stats showing Zary may have benefited a bit from luck, although I could be misremembering.

This kid has a top 5 wrister in the league. He's going to score 50 one day

[Roof-Daddy]

This is insanity

The kid has 78 NHL games

Guenther is a draft year later and has outproduced Zary. Not quite the best comparable.

Im an Oil Kings fan but I highly doubt that.

Guenther had a 64 point pace last year, and in his last 16 games had 9-8-17.

He's 21, Zary turns 23 in a few days.

Guenther is a 1st line winger, Zary projects as a 2nd line player.

Zary is a nice player but there is really no comparison between the two players.

4 goals in 2 games leading Utah to a 2-0 record.

I bet they are very happy with that contract.

Another swing and a miss by the Canucks. Maybe not for this thread, but you could really build a strong team on their miscues.

Neely, Tkachuk, Guenther, Andersson off the top of my head.

Canucks traded the Guenther pick for OEL and stuff right? Garland too, I'm thinking?

[Erick Estrada]

This contract will look like a steal in a few seasons.

[Jiri Hrdina]

I think he'll score 40+ this season.

[ComixZone]

Properly identify young players, and get them inked for 8 years.

Connor Zary, you're next.

His shot is insane. Watch the release on the OT winner from last night

Edit: welp struggling to embed but it's a laser.

If it is still under the Tre regime, Zary will get a lowball 3x3 offer. But I really wish Conroy will take a calculated gamble and give Zary an 8year x 6mil type of deal.

Even if Zary turns out to be another Mangiapane (decline right after signing a big deal), 6 mil is not that tough to swallow.

That OEL trade truly was one of the worst in the salary cap era
