So many crazy over payments on long term deals..

 

We as Canucks fans will be happy we didn't sign these contracts in a few months.. 

 

I trust JR/PA. They'll keep building this team better. 

At this point we’re just gonna have to focus on getting as much value depth as possible.

 

Sorry Petey you’re gonna have to play with someone like Skinner most likely.

I don't see how we're beating them with the same team (well actually lesser of a team now) if we face them again next season in the playoffs.

Seems that many of those pics we have burned were to get out of bad UFA contracts, so may be better to cut that off before it happens. 

Exactly. We are the team with cap space. Which means other teams will be giving us pics for players for once!

Wow...did losing out on Guentzel tick you off THAT much?

It's Guentzel, Stamkos, Tanev, Dillon. Zucker, Terovaline, etc. 

 

Just draw any name out of the hat. 

 

They need a winger for Pettey and they have failed completely. Trade involving our top prospect and 1st round incoming.

Who???? never heard of him

[Locke Lamora]

Teams are giving out to absolutely whacky salary and term.

 

Sucks a bit to be sitting on the sidelines thus far but I’m also thankful we don’t seem to be in the mood to do anything silly.

I don’t wanna jinx it but love the restraint the Canucks are showing 

 

there are some insane contracts being thrown around 

 

Well at least Canucks can try to win the lottery next season 

[CanucksCountry]

I hope we don't land Forbort. rather the team stay asleep at the wheel. he's one of the worst dman i've ever watched play hockey

Let’s empty the cupboard a bit more. Makes no sense.

We're finally linked to someone. I've vaguely heard of this name before.

Played for Boston?

A looooong time before the playoffs and PA doesn’t exactly sit on his hands. 
Staying out of bad contracts on UFA day is a skill and a good one.

[Smashian Kassian]

Dang, good signing for EDM.

 

Disappointing to not get in on that imo but we'll see what happens

Maybe we over estimated vancouver as a destination players want to go to. Takes 2 to tango. Just a thought

 

Or maybe we're lowballing compared to what the market is dictating.

 

Meanwhile the Flames have signed 6' 5" Anthony Mantha and we've gotten smaller on defense....

Forbort, let’s become the most American team ever

Derek Forbort Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com

 

played in AHL a couple games last year, i guess a bargain buy for canucks since they missed out on anyone good

Maybe we go into the season without dipping into LTIR so we can accrue cap space and make a bigger move in-season that other teams maybe can't afford to? This is mostly the same roster from the first half of last season still.

Lindholm $7.75 mill 7 yrs in BOS

 

I would have happily given him that I'm Vancouver. But he didn't want to be 3C he wanted to be a top 2 line C so he's gone.. awesome player.
