You sure about that?

 

They combined for 46 goals and 103 points.

 

Dont think Guenztel is scoring that much.

I knew he didn't do the math before he wrote that

He was upside down in the bench, I think that was just a natural reaction......of course his feet are going to flail.

 

He was pretty hurt in the playoffs, barely played at all in the finals.

 

He's been a consistent producer and still produces pretty well.  I only suggested it because he'd be cheap and you'd likely get a sweetener.  They just traded their 2025 first, but my suggestion was Lavoie, who can probably step in now.  Big body, great skater, good offense, great pk'er and can play C and W. 

 

I think they want room for Drai's extension for next year and have some flexibility for this year.  He's got a full nmc this year, so they don't have much leverage in a deal.

 

If they could unload Suter's $1.8m cap hit in the deal, all the better 

 

Kane, lavoie -$6m

 

Suter -$1.8m

 

You've still got just over $10m to play with.  Make a hard play for stamkos, roy and a bargain ld.......maybe bring Cole back

 

Kane Miller Boes

Hogz Petey Stamkos

That’s why the Guentzel signing never made much sense.

 

I wanted a high end guy but we would have been left with no depth.

Exactly how I saw it too. Either one more forward or defenseman and we're set imo.

hoglander stays with petterson. De guiseppe on Miller's wing, potential rotate with one of the new guys depending on performance. 

 

We need to get better on defense. It is currently shit. Not as bad as Travis Green shit, but shittier than last year for sure

 

Joshua gets promoted to Petey's line...move Heinen or Sherwood in Dakota's spot on the 3rd line.

[Locke Lamora]

One more solid D-man and I’m ok with today. I haven’t really scoured the list of who is left though. Maybe its not going to happen.

Canucks with $1.3M cap space ($3.8M with LTIR) left.

That feels shocking at this point considering the defense.

I'd give them a C, maybe C+ for today 

Agreed. It could change to a B depending on how Debrusk fits, but I'm not really seeing it right now.

 

C for me.

[Blue]

Guentzel would have been the Oilers way. (high ceiling) Debrusk is doing it the Florida way (depth)

[Canuck You]

Well, That was FA..Happy Canada Day everyone!

Alexandre carrier for that top 4 RD spot?

You can always go back to Benning threads and relive the free agency glory. 

[Jetliner]

I dunno about yall but I would like to resign Desmith for another year. Given Demko is injury prone, it would be good to have desmith silovs rather than silovs and some AHL misnomer for half the season in a worst case scenario

[NHLer]

Suter-Miller-Boeser

Debrusk-Petterson-Hoglander

Joshua-Blueger-Garland

Heinen-XXX-Sherwood 

Podkolzin-PDG

 

Hughes-Hronek

Soucy-Myers

Forbort-Juulsen 

(Boqvist)?

 

 

[Vanux]

I feel a trade brewing

Some ppl just love snarking on. What would be the meme if we were going full Benning ?

 

Debrusk for 7 years is enough risk for me today. 

I was hoping they’d go after him when he asked to be traded,   Knew he would turn his game around.

he wasn’t happy in Boston and aired it .

 

Thats a good sign for us , and a good signing .

Carrier signed with Carolina for $2 million a season.

Zadorov IS the TYPE of player that is hard to find ,   You only realize it when you try to replace them ,

 there is money an VALUE in that type of game, even if he’s not a 40pt D man.

 

 

Oh I know that and hate to lose him.

 

But I think it was more his decision and the team recognized that and set a limit. I think he wasn't willing to set a limit and wanted to test the market more than anything.

[EB43]

We have gaping holes on defence, with minimal cap space..

[DeNiro]

Just now, BPA said:

Maybe another depth signing but I think Canucks are done for the day.

 

Unless they trade for a player.  And it’ll have to include a player going back the other way.

I think we’re gonna make a trade.

 

I like the depth additions but we still need that high end skill in the top 6.

 

I could see is parting with a top prospect for a guy on an ELC.

Especially at that price.

I wouldn't mind a Sean Walker right now

Agree. This feels much too incomplete. 

[kettlevalley]

Maybe we go this way.  

 

Joshua miller boeser

Debrusk Petey Hogs

Heinen Bluegar Garland

Sherwood suter Pods

Aman PDG

 

No room for Bains or Karlsson though.  And I really think they have both earned a long look and at least a fight between them for 13th forward.  We have 14 without them.
