Not much doubt about it....In a perfect world, the Canucks would be able to re-sign Pettersson, Hronek, Lindholm and Zadorov.
But for that to happen they'll need a bunch of guys down in the lineup earning close to the league minimum, or still on their ELC's.
So out of necessity, they'll probably be forced to ride with guys like Bains, Podkolzin, Sasson or even McWard. And with DeSmith likely gone as a UFA, they'll replace his $1.8m salary with somebody cheaper like Silovs or Tolopilo.
Next year's Canucks will be by necessity 'younger and cheaper'. So Tocchet will have his work cut out for him.
Blueger, Joshua, Lafferty will all walk and get replaced by ELC players
