RWMc1 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I think Hoglander is a 3rd line guy. I don't see him on Petey's wing all season. He needs to work on his cardio so he can handle more minutes per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cap space is 18.53 million. By that I mean they can add 18.53 million in salary and not be over the cap. The real cap is how much they still can spend without being considered over the cap by the League. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including Poolman's salary brings it to 18.53. Poolman is considered full time LTIR or whatever the technical designation is for that. They have special rules which the general public are not privy to. Posters claiming we have only 16 million are being disingenuous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks can operate below the Cap without using LTIR, the savings bank and the saved amounts can be used at the trade deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 2 hours ago, wai_lai416 said: ok so we stay status quo and continue to build for antoher 3-4 seasons.. then we are right back at we have a bunch of cores at or around 30 years old.. is 2-3 maybe 4 competitive years enough to get you a cup again? Where did I say don't do anything? I literally talked about trading for Necas which costs assets, it's just a different mentality around improvement. A $9.5M Guentzel should make our top 6 better next year but his cap hit might destroy our depth. Jake Guentzel could cost us Zadorov. Maybe we can lure a guy like Matt Roy here who, even though 29, won't be looking for a max length contract like Guentzel. Would you rather have Zadorov and Roy bolstering Hughes and Hronek in the top 4 or Jake Guentzel but a 2nd pair of Soucy-Myers and a bottom pair of Friedman-Juulsen? Maybe we can get Necas for Höglander + Garland and he signs for $7M. That $2.5M difference might allow us to re-sign Zadorov or maybe re-sign Joshua. Then you're still getting a legitimate top 6 winger who still has potential to become a PPG player playing alongside Petey and we still keep some of our depth. Plus you don't have to worry about them succumbing to age in a few years. Yes, we want to improve. But adding some pieces at the cost of losing others doesn't necessarily do that. Obviously there are a lot of hypotheticals in here but just pointing out that there is more than one way to skin a cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would rather overpay 5mil+ for zadorov who may or may not be capable of being a top 4? Nothing in his career shown he’s capable of playing 20mins a game consistently yet we are willing to pay 5mil+ to gamble? So what happens if we have a 3rd pairing of zadorov soucy making over 8mil because they ain’t good enough to be a legit top 4 pair? If you are paying 5mil + for a defenceman he better than we’ll be a consistent top 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can disappear very quickly. Edit: or at the very least 2 #4/5 defensemen Edited June 26 by Diamonds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are paying 5mil + for a defenceman he better than we’ll be a consistent top 4 I'm definitely wary of overpaying Zadorov. I've been one of the people saying I don't want to pay more than $5M for him because he doesn't have a long enough track record playing the minutes he did in the playoffs. But even if it's not Zadorov, unless you believe Soucy is a top 4 defenseman we still need to sign two top 4 (or at least #4/5) defensemen. Zadorov really seemed to click with this group though which is why I might be okay with a very slight overpayment for him, just not any significant overpayment.

Yet to see if any chemistry is there at all.. Hoglander you seem to look at as a lunch bucket , but he worked harder and created most of the chances on his line with EP. Id rather try to create chemistry with what’s left in the Cap. Debrusk (40pts) is a good power forward that would compliment both Hogz game, by being a solid F2 to go to , the 2 of them would create the time and space that’s needed with their aggressive checking to have EP hunting like a shark for the spots to be on. This also puts another very good skater into our D core with Gostibehere (50pts) that might create 3 fantastic parings Hughes Zadorov Hroneck Soucy Gostibehere Juulsen only so much you can do with 16.2 in Cap. Id rather spread the love on Offence and D fence, than think that 9-10m will fix that problem. Sign Zadorov , Debrusk, and Gostibehere to add : Debrusk also had 11 pts in 13 playoff games this season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go after: Debrusk 4.5-5m Gostibehere 6-6.5m. sign: Zadorov 5.5m. total 17m. just a little over projected cap space of 16.2 (let Mihkeyev have time to heal & prove) Debrusk Pettersson Hoglander Hughes Hroneck Zadorov Gostibehere Juulsen Soucy Would love to have the Ghost here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why does kucherov play with point why does mackinnon play with rantanen, Matthew with nylander, etc etc. why does most of the top 10 scorer play with another player that is making 9mil and up but when it comes to pettersson he’s the exception to the rules and must play with lesser players or else he’s trash? By you standard they should be playing with some 3rd 4th line grinders and turn them into a ppg guy right? sure there’s exceptions like pastrnak but there’s not that many? Panarin? He plays with zjb who makes like 8mil? Not everyone is a mcdavid or pastrnak Edited June 26 by wai_lai416 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing him , was too premature. Sure I think it’s p r o b a b l y going to be ok , but it’s not proven .. you’ve listed players that have played together for years. Why not just go after Crosby? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
