Re-Signing Erik Gudbranson Doesn't Make Sense For The Caucks

from Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province,

Extending Gudbranson because he’s tough would rank among the most short-sighted decisions this organization has made in years.

It’s entirely possible all of this is moot. The Canucks have said they would only re-sign Gudbranson if the money made sense.

There is no way it’s going to make sense to this team to pay a third pairing blue-liner $4 million a year and right now it’s difficult to imagine Gudbranson accepting much less than that.

Heck, the Canucks could get four or five tough guys who can’t control shots for $4 million a year total if it’s so important.
