I'm not convinced that Joshua won't regress if given a big extension. I get Pearson vibes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful that Joshua and Blueger both re-sign reasonable 2 year deals. That third line has been solid for us, and hopefully we can keep them together at as reasonable cost. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what boeser might be asking for on his next contract but looking at the possibilities of moving him this summer for a high value return rather than having him for another season before walking like a rental for nothing or over paying to keep him, we could make sure we keep our depth guys rolling and insert lekkerimaki and possibly other young talent into top 6 from a boeser trade in the years following to keep us competitive in the cap window, love boes but think he’s playing himself off the team in a good way atm.

I get the feeling that as long as he's healthy and he keeps putting in the work, I could see him sticking around for a bit longer. Especially if we can start filling out the roster with younger guys on their entry level contracts, that could allow us to keep Boeser around for a bit longer. I can also see Boeser wanting to stick around too and being willing to take slightly less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Just now, Dom said: This only makes sense of Chicago gives us something worthwhile to flip for immediate help. Just taking Kuz out of our lineup for cap space isn't useful for a team contending for a Cup. They have three 2nd round picks. Maybe just give us their 2nd which is almost like a low 1st rounder. From there, we better have a helluva plan in place to spend $5.5M in cap space for top 6 help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) I honestly won't be shocked if we see a new top 6 before the all star break ends. Allvin and Rutherford have been shown to make moves and make them fast. Edited January 29 by Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems weird to move Z, when they just acquired him… maybe asking for too much? Still getting rid of that size, while seeing how Soucy gets hurt so often, doesn’t make sense. But also, maybe a smart move since he was so sought after? Exciting time of year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's possible to bring Lindholm and Tanev in without moving any of our D. Will take CGY retaining 50%, and a 3rd party retaining 50% on Tanev as well so he comes in at $1.125M along with Lindholm at $4.85M = $5.975M total. Kuz out = $5.5M Karlsson back down to Abby, and we're cap compliant.

EternalCanuckFan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'm not keen on the Canucks moving Zadorov but it certainly makes for interesting speculation. Considering the ARI player O'Brien was still running around stupidly on the ice a few games ago, I don't think Zadorov is a true deterrent despite his size and hitting ability. I liked his addition to the D core though, but if he's actually being shopped, then maybe the Canucks feel like they can both find a better replacement AND sell him for more than he cost? Kuz to CHI is certainly plausible outside of Kuz's NTC, but who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on board, but I also see the russian triumvirate as the easiest pieces to subtract in the interest of cap savings without having a major effect on the team's performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would take care of all our biggest needs up front. I think the Rangers have identified him as a strong need and will end up snagging him out of Montreal.
