Reg Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 My off-season to-do list wish list includes getting a strength coach, a skating coach and a sport psychologist for Pettersson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a choice btw DK at 3 or Lindy at 8-9 (the amount he's rumored to want), then choosing DK allows us to fill more other holes in the lineup.. *And I'm a huge Lindy fan for what he brought to our lineup. DJ will likely get in the 3's, but that's overpayment imo and it was Garland that made that line. Move Garland into the top 6 and replace DJ with another guy they can develop into that kind of player for much cheaper, imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conscience Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Id dump pete if the right trade comes around for a bigger skilled forward. You get the return of pete and ur able to keep lindy as well. Imagine brady tk on this team, good for Hughes too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could move Mik for a lesser sweetener (2nd or b prospect) they take that and run. I dont think so........I don't like Seravelli, bug he's pretty good on his info and EF is usually reliable. I think they like what Mik brings to the table and think he will come back with an off season where he can train properly. I think they believe other teams think that too and with only two years left on his deal, he's a reasonable gamble for a lot of teams........Canucks included. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's my favourite Canuck, but I thought they should have dealt him before signing him to a new deal as I don't want any contract like that for one player. But, it's too late now, imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conscience Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Hronek can go, not good defensively not great offensively. why waste 6-7 mil on that. sign tanev until willander is ready 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 When we get the season ending press conference, we'll get the real story on who is injured and heading for surgery. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Hronek and Pettersson need surgery for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I'm just saying what FS or EF said, but the indication was the Canucks are still high on him and also think other teams are too. He didn't think the Canucks would get much back, but certainly didn't think the team felt they'd have to add to move him. It's easy to forget he wasn't able to really train last off season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland can absolutely drive a line, and he had great chemistry with Bleuger, maybe we can recreate the joshua/bleuger/garland magic as podkolzin/bleuger/garland? Henrique will probably be discounted due to age and injury, but hes still pretty fast and a great finisher. sub 4m id take a crack at him and try him on the miller line or beside petey. ive always wanted us to get duclair as well, maybe this will finally be the year. great speed and unlike mikheyev has consistently been able to find the back of the net too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can find some offense at the beginning, he'll have more value.......as an asset, but to the team as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not dismissing Mik's effort or knowledge, but if he can't sustain that elite speed he once had, he's pretty average otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) Silovs is an RFA this summer. Anybody worried that a goalie needy team might try to poach him for say 2.1 mill a year on a multi year deal? Compensation is only a 3rd round pick. Silovs might turn down a little money now to continue his process with Ian Clark. Still something to think about though.

Odd. Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Dump Mikheyev, easy no brainer. Of all free agents, I’d prioritize Lindholm first. If you can get him around $6.5-7M, that would be perfect. Use JT Miller as a bench mark. If he asks for anything above $7.5M, I’d let him walk. Zadorov if you can sign him between $4.5-5.2M ish. I would not re sign him if he asks for well north of 5M. Joshua is tricky for me. He didn’t have a good playoffs outside of 2 games. Garland is the engine of that line and has carried Joshua exponentially in the offensive department. That said, Joshua is a high volume hitter and a big body that is pretty important on the PK. I think there will be teams who will offer him $4M+ and if that’s the case then you let him walk and hope Podkolzin can take his role next year. Most I’d offer him is $2.8M-3.5M, the more money the shorter term he gets. Cole I’d be fine re signing him to a $1M contract as a 6th/7th D next year. Guys who we should not bring back: DeSmith - Silovs is here. Nuff said. Lafferty - outside of his hot start the guy has been utter trash. Blueger - can walk tbh. He was a good player for us, but we should definitely use his spot for one of our Abby guys. Easy $1.9M shaved right there. Myers - Admittedly had a terrific season but I highly doubt he’ll return for a team friendly deal. He posted top 4 numbers and might look to cash in on his last opportunity to get a decent sized contract from a team looking for RHD experience.
