PunjabiCanucks23 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 With the Rumors of Guentzel - it leads me to believe the acquisition cost is too high- especially given that it may cost Kuzemnko, 1st, and prospect/ Hoglander while we may need this it can leave a deficit on our front end/ future. Benefit is having not to rely on the lotto line. However, there are some Centres that could fill in as 2C and not cost as much as Guentzel. --- Sean Monahan- on a cheap contract- on pace for 50 pts on a MTL team Shane Pinto- young prospect-about to make a comeback assuming he gets resigned- he's been practicing with fellow team mates Adam Henrique- like Monahan - almost at the peak of his career on a poor team atm- on pace for 45 pts. -- These 3 players will cost less then a Guentzel like player- Monahan is my favorite atm as he will cost less than 2M- and if we want to resign wouldnt cost a pretty penny.

Monahan is dirt cheap which means he will cost more. You could even ask MTL to use its last retention slot and you get a legit middle six centre for $1 million. How is that going to be much cheaper than Jake Guentzel? None of these players you've mentioned are going to come cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) I love the idea of adding Pinto. He would be a great addition and a longterm fit. He'll fit under the cap (qualifying offer) this year. Ottawa doesn't have a 1st round pick this year. I think this makes senses for both teams. Edited January 13 by fuzzy Grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give up a significant amount for Joel Eriksson Ek. -Excellent long term cap hit -Can be a long term core player -Can help us greatly on the PK. -Can fill in on the top line if one of the Big 3 got injured. Kuzmenko++ for Eriksson Ek Pettersson-Miller-Boeser Suter-Eriksson Ek-Mikheyev [shut down line] Joshua-Bluegar-Garland Hoglander-Aman-Lafferty Edited January 13 by Jeremy Hronek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Yup, Eriksson Ek is one of the guys I'd give up Lekkerimaki for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawkDrummer Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Pettersson is a center, not a winger. Get him a good winger instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would though, he should be their big, tough-minutes two-way C (Hartman's not really a #1, and Rossi probably is more of an offensive C than all-around guy). They're also good for wings, so JL probably doesn't interest them much, but if JEE is available, I'd say yes to move JL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien-Punch Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Eiksson Ek should be the number 1 target for Vancouver in my opinion with Kuzmenko going back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 To get Ek I think it would be either a first plus maybe Suter or Lekkerimaki and Suter because they aren't taking salary back or they hang up the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
