chris12345 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 18 minutes ago, The Duke said: Toffoli for his price point and right handed shot could very well be better bang for your buck than Guentzel. Petey needs a finisher - but if it’s him and Hoglander, they could also use the RH shot. Add in De Brusk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 2 minutes ago, chris12345 said: I'd have to see the entire plan and obviously I won't. You probably will in another week or so... our roster is pretty close. 1 forward, and 1 defenceman... how the split looks is up in the air. I'd want us to invest in a higher quality RHD if at all possible... Matt Roy or Pesce would be my preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Just now, chris12345 said: Add in De Brusk? That's the guy I'd prefer. Would be cheaper than Toffoli, and I'd say the better overall player. Especially in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I'll never forget just before free agency in 2016 when we were one of the rumoured teams to be in on Stamkos if he got to free agency. Definitely more realistic now and I think I'd almost prefer him to Guentzel. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love DeBrusk for his speed but it really depends on his contract ask and what our plans are on the back end. We could probably do DeBrusk, Toffoli and Dillon - but we’d be losing some mobility on the back end. (Zadorov, or whomever.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Also worth noting in regards to Nashville's being a potential landing spot for Stamkos, Tennessee is pretty close to Florida Also, taxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Stamkos would probably want to stay in Tampa (Florida), that's been his home a long time. So, maybe FLA signs Stammer, freeing up Reinhart to sign with his hometown team. That would be a dream. ? - Miller - Boeser Pettersson - Reinhart - ?

I just legit don't know if there is a real connection. Maybe Tocc? Some of what I wrote obviously in gest but I would hazard a guess that if TB is really off the table then things like connection to a coach, owner, player will have a bit of weight but not a lot. Connections will certainly create an opportunity to have a side discussion at the front of the otherwise unconnected pack. In my ever so humble opinion, if I was an NHL player like Stamkos I would be looking at (1) opportunity to win a cup leaving a legacy there (most important), (2) team culture and team mates already in place (if team full of Sean Avery types giving a toxic work place vide then would pass) and (3) whatever the wife says. EDIT: See above for @DeNiro's comment ... I genuinely did not know that. Certainly a consideration given what Tic Toc has accomplished this past year, may have to modify my post a bit.

Yea Tocc is huge. Winning is too but he could sign anywhere for league minimum if winning trumped all. I think the Tocc thing is big as is stable ownership and a president. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Canucks have 12 million to sign 2 defencemen and 2 forwards. I don’t think Stamkos really works with that equation, I would start with Zadorov and see what’s left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthy animal Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Stamkos and Toffoli for 3 or 4 years at 5.5 - 6 mill each, push Suter to the 4th line, and use the left over for a depth dman, mmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that trumps all. If the Canucks offered 2.5 million X 5 years, Stammer says no, wife says she just really REALLY loves Vancouver. Better start packing Stammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Big Zeke priced himself out of the market so PA is looking elsewhere for a cheaper player. Never count resigning out but not looking good now.

It would be an awesome place to play in they are just not a cup contender. I am in the minority and think there are a lot of excellent US cities to play in.
