Rekker Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 4 minutes ago, stawns said: What makes him the elite? Exactly? Guentzel is being overhyped as he is the best forward UFA at the moment. I hope Canucks dodge this bullet. Sign Taffoli. He's slow, but always has been, it really doesn't effect his game. He is Robitaille like in finding the soft shooting areas and has past chemistry with EP. Hogs the digger, EP the puck carrier and distributor, TT the soft spot shooter and a righty to boot. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Well. Serevalli says that Guentzel’s rights have been traded to Tampa Bay for a 3rd. Guess now he ain’t coming here for sure. Edited June 30 by N4ZZY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often does it work out for those teams? Pretty often........they wouldn't give up an asset if they weren't pretty confident. I expect he's off the market today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say "for sure". He didn't sign with Carolina after all. And that was a contender team giving him his asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwarrior Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I liked the idea of getting Guentzel. But if that's not gonna happen, I would LOVE to bring Toffoli back. If we can land Toffoli, that's a good back up plan. And probably a hell of alot cheaper option too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Hope this management group didn’t get tunnel vision like with the last group and OEL. Gonna have to pivot quickly if they wanna fill that top 6 spot. If not in free agency then taking advantage of some teams tight against the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they want to get it done before there's a bidding war and the price goes up to give them a day to try to convince him before everybody else. they're confident enough to gamble, but if it was anything resembling a sure thing that guentzel wanted to go there, they wouldn't throw away their pick.

RWJC Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) We’re going to end up pursuing guys like Arvidsson. Would not be surprised if he’s in a Nux jersey soon. Value squeezes on the menu again…Arvidsson, Zucker, Skinner level. If we miss out on a high end W, we’re going to stockpile depth. That’s really our only option unless we reserve cap space for trades further into offseason Edited June 30 by RWJC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Just now, Dizzle said: Really? When does that cut off? you have to have the player on your team as of the previous trade deadline to give him an 8 year deal. that's why any team other than carolina wanting to give him 8 years would have had to orchestrate a sign and trade.

If it’s short term I’m fine with it. Dont need to be giving 5 year deals to guys like Toffoli though that’s what we’re trying to get away from. If we can’t get a big fish Id rather them explore the trade market. Might be able to get some decent players for cheap. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm a fan of Arvidsson, but I think acquiring depth scoring is more important at this point in their climb. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
