The Duke Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) I like the idea of DeBrusk. 20-ish goal guy, 6’1, 200 pounds. Good wheels. Decent PK guy with Boston. Near PPG last two playoffs - and 21 points in his last 27 playoff games. Doubt he gets more than 5, as his overall points don’t jump off the page. Adding some wheels to Miller and Boeser would be a huge upgrade on Suter, who’d still have a ton of value in the bottom 6. Of the free agents for Petey, I’d still kick the tires on Toffoli.. but maybe there’s something to another right handed old fart in Marchessault. Money starts to run out pretty quick if Mikheyev can’t be moved, though. Edited June 23 by The Duke 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t feel like all that long ago that Debrusk requested a trade and was being shopped as a bit of a late bloomer former first rounder. Good for him for sticking with it!

I guess that’s why Allvin is looking at giving Guentzel his 9 or whatever. Or we pony up for Lindholm before paying that much.

I think Debrusk is going to Calgary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite goalie from that era and Canada has not produce another goalie even close to him since. Always wanted him on the team and would LOVE if he was down to come off the bench behind Demko.

Guys often sign for less, but they could still see offers like that from non-contending teams. It’s fun to throw names around, but at the end of the day we need guys who are willing to leave a year of term or about 500k on the table because they want to come to Vancouver. It won’t be a huge discount or anything, but those little savings can add up in a hurry. Edited June 23 by The Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Joshua at anything in the mid 3s starts to look pretty good as well. I know there’s some rumours about him around 4. Getting the band back together on the “3rd line” OR looking at pushing him and Garland up the lineup is something to think about. Not super exciting, but could make sense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it sounds like there is good communication between the club and both players. Likely we have made our best offers and the two players will see July 1 what is out there. Then they will check back with us and see if our offer is good enough or needs a bump. Love to keep both these two big boppers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to not be lured in by exciting, imo. They need to be boring and logical in this off season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some place across the highway offered me $185,000 to do the same thing I’m doing now… I’d jump at that 12% pay raise and head over there instantly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all players would give the courtesy of circling back to see if it can be matched.

I agree for the most part, but I do think they need to try and find a legitimate top 6 winger to play on Petey’s line. Doesn’t have to be Guentzel. But looks like anyone who fits the bill is coming in at 5-6 mil minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something people lose sight of when they're too "concerned". We do have a fair-minded management group and that fairness goes both ways. It's nice to see actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
