I don't think he had issues in Edmonton and he's 33 now, I expect all that stuff is behind him.

 

If it's just Kane, then no.  But if they can use their cap space to get a good young players as well, then yes

These reports are from Spring 2024. We need to stay the hell away from this guy; low character person.

As I said, I don't have many worries there with this dressing room and this coaching staff.

 

It upgrades a couple of areas and adds offense, size, snarl, youth and pk to the lineup.

This isn’t EA hockey very few 1 year deals for non reclamation projects or twilight year players 

 

Simple argument, do better. Lot's of potential one year deal potential in a cap system where the cap is currently rising year over year. 

 

Would rather a reclamation project with upside on a one year deal than Toffoli at $6+x4/5 and not have flexibility next year. There will be some interesting offensive options available looking to up their stock...where better than in Van given what the coaching staff has shown.

JR/Allvin will probably bring in players that weren't even considered. Will they all be UFA signings or will there also be trades? (e.g. Garland)

 

My biggest concern is who will Petey be playing with. If the Canucks could get two deadly top lines that can score, they'll be in good shape. 

 

A healthy Demko and rebuilt D will be in good hands under Gonchar, Foote and Clark.

why would you prefer him and why do you believe he'd take a one year low value deal?

 

Coming off a down year (injured), Swedish, needs to up his stock in a rising cap period, should get to play with EP or Miller. He is gritty, goes to the tough areas and has some offensive touch. If one year, doesn't necessarily have to be a value deal on AAV.

 

IF a solid deal for a good forward or two forwards is/are available this year than great but I don't want mgmt to burden themselves with any bad contracts for the wrong players. I would prefer they maintain cap flexibility, rather than sign the wrong player this summer to a long term deal. Much better options available next summer and/or for teams with cap space to make deals work.

I am unsure teams pass up on giving him a multi-year deal. He was hurt but is a quality player. 
 

Even rebuilding teams would see value in playing him with high end draft picks. 

 

For sure, might not be an option but he is the type of player I would target over a long term deal for whatever is available this summer. If Mgmt can sign a good deal with a Toffoli type of player then great, just don't want them to lose too much cap flexibility...as I think there will be deals available after the froth settles (trade or UFA). Could be wrong but that would be my approach.

this team can't afford to waste the next 2-3 seasons. they have to make sure they give it their best shot now before quinn and thatcher need new deals.

Garland was the driver on the best 3rd line in the NHL and when the top 2 lines weren’t clicking, they were awesome. I get the need for Garland’s cap space, but now that DJ and Blueger are signed, I’d hate to see Garland traded. Not sure who else can generate more cap though, tbh.

Do better than thinking logically? There is too much risk on his end for a one year deal, your proposal is not realistic.
