They need some righties in their line up they would both fill some needs. Brandon Duhaime 27 RW 3 x 1.8 Michael Amadio 28 C 3 x 3.1 Aim higher. This team needs at least one and probably two 25 goal scorers. Duhaime and Amadio are not the droids we are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and the team already has all the bottom six guys they need, so why add Duhaime or Amadio? They are unnecessary, but that's just my opinion. Maybe they are better and cheaper than what the team already has but I don't really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do we bank on him rebounding and can we make the money work? I would expect management He was coming on at the end of the season and that may have been noticed, so I think you could find a team to take him on for one that suits the way we like to play. It's possible. Ya he is a super toolsy player, has a pretty good reason for the struggles, and there could be a team interested. It’s just the UFA pool this summer has a lot of middle/bottom 6 winger options that will be had at lower dollar figures. so as much as I think he is moveable I also think it would be difficult to do it without taking cap back radio was discussing a mik trade for Kotkaniemi if we can’t sign lindholm. Kinda interesting idea not sure how I feel about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was our most physical player on the team plus he was a key penalty killer. A good blend of power and skill. Meshed with Garland. If we could could lock him up with term at a reasonable dollar why wouldn't it make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat land fish Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Reading some Ufa predictions/forecasts and they had pacioretty as a 1 year 1.5-2 million guy. Maybe a decent placeholder kind of guy until lekkerimaki is ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would depend on whether PA can get Lindy signed for a decent number? If he can get Lindy then there is no need for JK. Hronek has a lot of value. To get Necas + (Morrow?) for Hronek would be fair. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely, but you don't really get paid on intangibles. Points is, by far, the main metric when determining a big raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necas had an off year, but two years ago he was an 71 point player who is also a much better 200 ft player than people give him credit for. Unfortunately, he's also going to come with a big price tag. Still, he's only 25 and has room to develop. I do like that deal, but it doesn't alleviate cap issues, but does, imo, extend their window.

Maybe JK is plan b if they can't resign Lindy, and Hronek won't move off 8+? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bit of a risk, but is just turning 24 and he had a solid year last year........ definitely fell off this year, but he's a good 200 ft players who's good in the face off circle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its popular to crap on him here, but tbh I can see why the Canucks staff might see him as a good longer term fit, he also sometimes plays with an edge too. I need someone smarter than me to explain why he wouldn't fit with Tocc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he has a ton of room to grow and develop as well and might be able to move into 2C as Miller starts his decline He's also cost controlled for a long time and I think they need some Finns in the lineup too Edited May 25 by stawns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kettlevalley Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Every move effects the next move. I hope Alvin knows he is playing a summer long poker tournament, bluffing, raising and folding to make the best team he can come September. There are soooo many moving parts this year. Gonna be fun to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
