NHL97OneTimer Posted Wednesday at 03:47 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:47 PM 1 hour ago, I.Am.Ironman said: If we can't get guentzal I'd be ok with Teurovainen, Stammer, Lindholm (7.5), Reinhart. I'm not keen on offering 8+ to anyone else. If those fish are gone then I think we round out the dcorps with a Pesce like player and add some grit to the bottom 6. We can then head into the season with a little bit of cap space to play with at the deadline. I have the feeling that Lindholm does not want to play for the Canucks next season......likely due to how they had him at the 3C spot with a more defensive role.

And the fact it was rumoured we were trying to dump him to land Guentzel at the TDL lol. I'm sure that pissed him off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I think lindholm both foot is out the door. Gotta think Boston have to be the front runner.. he’ll instantly slide in as the center for pastrnak which would almost guarantee his revive his production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, Lindholm and his family can live comfortably here in Vancouver. I think it's probably relational strain from when the Canucks management attempted to "trade" Lindholm after landing him because he was struggling. That wasn't a good look for Allvin and Rutherford. And also, he probably wants a larger role offensively rather than be behind Miller and Petey at centre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carolina signs and gets it done with Guentzel before free agency, then Canucks need to go to the secondary route - some fans have suggested Toffoli. I can't see how he's a fit in Tocchet's system which demands speed, and Toff isn't known for that when he was last here, and I can't imagine how much slower his foot speed is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s the thing he won’t be. Teams are gonna overpay on dollars and term for players like this after striking out on the big fish. We don’t need to be the ones overpaying for this level of player. Id rather spend more draft capital and get better players that teams are offloading for cap space.

Johnny Posted Thursday at 05:20 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:20 AM How about taking a flyer on Druin, Colorado is gonna be tight to give him any sort of raise especially if Landeskog returns Druin is still looking to elevate his stock and might sign for 2 million for 1 year to cash in a bit more on a retirement type deal his numbers this year were decent second line production and could slot nicely with petey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted Thursday at 05:25 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:25 AM I'd prefer to have Reinhart, Stamkos, Patrick Kane over Guentzel to be honest. Guentzel would be great too. Overpay on Reinhart lol, give him 10million. Stamkos/Kane would be on less money and shorter term deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be okay… he’s faster than 97.5% of the league according to some analytics I saw a while ago. That number stuck with me for some reason… because that would put him in the top 10-20 players in the whole league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
