I honestly feel like we couldn't offer him what the unknown held for him.

 

He wanted to find out and I'm not sure we could've kept him because he'd made the decision to test the market. Lindholm too.

Sure but he said he wanted to stay in Vancouver, so you'd think there would have been open discussions right into free agency.  It had to be other issues involved for PA to have closed the doors before this morning.

xxxx - Pettersson - DeBrusk

Höglander - Miller - Boeser

Joshua - Bluegar - Garland

Sherwood - Suter - Heinen

Podkolzin++ for another good winger for Petey and we've got tons of depth up front.

Has Stamkos officially signed anywhere yet?

Nashville

[stawns]

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

Yes, but the three of them combined wouldn't be close to Guentzel's production

Another player we pumped and dumped. Who's the sucker ?

I like DeBrusk and it kind of sucks losing out on the bigger named but...

Certainly better than last year. Curious to see how we spend our last $5 million. 

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

He said a few things...one of which hinted at him not chasing the money. He wanted to chase the money.

 

If he really wanted to stay he would've accepted the offer here that wasn't too far under what he ended getting in the end from what I understand. 

 

I think the allure of a possible bidding war appealed to him. Ten teams interested stuff.

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.

They all do.

I'm starting to be okay with today's results. The Zadorov loss still stings, but perhaps, based on his entire career and not just the playoff sampling where he was playing for a contract, we might be okay without him. I wouldn't have wanted to give Lindholm what he received, so no loss there. 

Management has made smart investments so far, so hopefully today's newcomers will fit in well. It's good to see a couple of Canadians join the club, and some guys with good playoff pedigrees.

No it isn't. The top 4 with Myers at 50% is not shit. Soucy would be a top pair guy on some teams

Anyone got a cap update?? What do we have left?

@HKSR

You sure about that?

 

They combined for 46 goals and 103 points.

 

Dont think Guenztel is scoring that much.

[chris12345]

DeBrusk AAV is fine the term is obnoxious.

[BPA]

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

Better to give a 27 year old 7 years than a 34 year old…

I could actually see Tocc experiment with lines a bit..I would be down to see What Joshua looks like with Petey.

Dakota has some hands, speed, size and plays physical. IMO exactly what Petey needs on his line. 

 

You could always move one of Heinen or Sherwood to the 3rd line.

6 years. haha Treliving is also obnoxious 

[BPA]

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.

personally I think management shot for the moon in the Guentzel sweepstakes and played hardball with Zadorov.

 

I really don’t think we came close to offering Zadorov that term or 5m .

( all speculation of course)

 

5 is , and 6 years for Z would have been perfect.

Add Debrusk ,    Pass on Myers , sign Forbert ,  hold capspace for that bottom paring .

 

nothing wrong with starting

Hughes Zadorov 

Soucy. Horoneck

Forbert Juulsen 

 

Just my thoughts .

 

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.

 

Boston knows THAT value all too well.

 

They had yet to replace that TYPE of player,

until now .
