I’d love Teuvo Teravainen and Tyler Toffoli and not just because gramma loves some TTs. I bet they could both be had for whatever Guentzel ends up getting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep cycle guys around the core and stay flexible for the next couple seasons. Anybody you can get on 2 year deals either through signing or trade I’d be looking into. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. teams tight against the cap aint going to trade away good top 6 or ones with good contract.. they'll be looking to dump players like the mikheyevs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, and especially if they strike out on any big UFA. Utilize that cap space to flesh out the club and spread the responsibility around. Just a question of who fits where. Our 3rd line is set, though we could bump Blueger back down to 4th. We really need to replenish our 4th line, and value add EPs line…just hope it keeps him satisfied with what he’s provided.

That bumps blueger down to 4C and really makes that 3rd line formidable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kind of $ have to be allocated to EP’s wing somehow, imho Edited June 30 by RWJC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 IMHO PA has lots of irons in the fire. He has some CAP to play with. NHL players have to like their chances of a CUP if they come to Vancouver. What a change for the Van option. The other twist is hockey relationships inside the NHL. Rutherford, Allvin and Tocchet have been around for quite a few years. Which UFA's do they know and can they sway their decisions. Nothing would surprise me tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not as if they didn’t have a backup plan if Guentzel didn’t sign here. This is the most relaxed I’ve been around free agency time in years. The Canucks are going to ice a good team next year and I’m excited to see what happens tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the right price he is exactly the type of center we could use…at the right price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have total faith in the management. Mostly because they've shown that when they make a mistake, they correct it quickly without to much loss, if any. As for being agressive, when you are in your window, it is necessary to have the balls to pull the trigger. Most importantly, knowing when to go all in. I think Allvin and Co are about to show us how to do it right. Sit back and enjoy. This will be fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz-Pix Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 We don't have to completely fill out our roster through Free Agency IMO. We're pretty close to what we started last season with, if we can upgrade a few positions with players on reasonable contracts then we should do it. But some of our guys need an opportunity to crack the line up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewonder20 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 ‘After unloading Mikhail Sergachev and Tanner Jeannot on Day 2 of the draft to open up more cap space, and preparing for Steven Stamkos to walk to unrestricted free agency, the Lightning shot to the top of the list of suitors for Guentzel. On Sunday, they traded for Guentzel’s negotiating rights, sending a 2025 third-rounder back to Carolina.’ And a tax-free state; can’t see him coming to Vancouver now. Would love a Petey winger that’s not over 30 years old but the list is not terribly long (from article on msn.com): Want to sign a 20g+ scorer under the age of 29? Options are limited: Reinhart (28) Duclair (28) Foegele (28) Debrusk (27) Sprong (27) Not many more under 30 either: Guentzel, Monahan, Teravainen, Bertuzzi, and Mantha. Not an easy UFA goal scoring fix out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be names you wouldn’t expect. i don't necessary think sergachev was a *dump. he has a massive cap hit coming off a horrible season defensively and to cap it off with a serious injury.. there's a massive risk involve.. and trouba outside of his nasty hit.. is a liability.. he's no where close to the player he was.. if sergachev had a great year last season.. tampa wouldn't be making that move.. fact is he didn't.. came off a serious injury.. they saw a chance to dump him before the ntc kicks in.
