Yes. This team is in no position to overpay though. Just too tight to the cap. This is where that gap in drafting is killing us. Not enough entry level deals and trade chips are lacking. There was a time when with JB when the Canucks should of been stockpiling picks and talent for to be ready to run. Hardly any capital to sell and not enough cap to overpay. Heck with overpay, even just keep up.

Dude we are not tight to the cap. At this point we will have plenty of cap space left going into the season. 

 

Cap ain't an excuse this time. 

[Blue]

Glad we pumped Zad and Linds value so they could fleece Boston. Neither player will move the needle over 82 and get you firmly into a playoff spot

This one hurts the most. Really does. 

The team is a lot less physical now and they aren’t and can’t do anything to replace that. Not much out there. A reason he was paid that much.

I mean, did you really want us to overpay a bunch of average players for the next 6 years? 

Not at all. See previous post. We are a tight cap team and couldn't overpay even if wanted to. Going to have to get creative around the edges.

What did nux do last yr on FA day? 

 

I don't remember. Anyone?

Agreed. A pile of money is worthless if we can’t share it with the ones we love

[flickyoursedin]

Patrik Laine step right up!

We have a really quality top 4 defense in Hughes, Hronek, Myers, and Soucy… not really sure what more you want…

Well I am in the minority but don't like Myers at 4.

 

Who is 5 and 6?

We don’t have the assets for trades. Is anyone else not seeing this.

The longer Debrusk stays out there the more I get scared

Well at least we have lots of great assets we can trade to get the players we really want……

wait 

we don’t?

2 top 4 dmen and a winger for Petey.  
How the fuck do we get those?  Hahah

 

Canucks lost a 2027 2nd for Mikheyev now watch him score 40 goals in Chicago lol

Cap space is king. Let these teams use up all their precious cap spaces and we pounce when teams find themselves in cap troubles next szn.

 

Patience pays.

Yeah they are coping. We will be trading Lekki and Willander soon at this point.

Physical dmen. Did we not all see how that makes a difference. Guess not.

I know. But the management won't start the season with the current roster. Lot of holes left to fill. If they can't make a deal today they have all summer to do their surgery, just like last summer. They have proven to be quite agile and have good pro scouting to get what they need. 

 

No, but you have to admit, after all their talk about what they needed, it looks like they've missed a lot of chances.  They obviously weren't a destination for many, if any players.

He gets paid but gets to play as their 1C.

Cap ain't an excuse this time. 

It is if we start overpaying at positions. Some of the monies getting thrown today doesn't work for us moving forward.

They were pretty aggressive last year.

 

I wouldn't say conservative I would say extremely calculated 

They got ahead of deals for sure but I’m not sure they’ve made many big swings.

 

A winger for Petey was the number 1 priority and I’m not sure how to eyes gonna accomplish that now.

Juulsen is a solid bottom pair guy. I imagine we will find a cheap left side guy. We will be fine. Myers killed it last year and eats minutes. Don’t understand the hate.
