I can see the reasoning though, they are both scarcity plays in terms of position and profile. More so in terms of Lindholm, but Zadorov is also pretty unique.
They will likely not be able to replace either guy in free agency or through trade. Everyone else is probably a better bet to be replaced by something cheaper on a cap basis. Even with Hronek, if you can get one of the right-side free agents you are downgrading, but can still get a guy capable of playing 18-20 mins, and then you just go for more depth.

The easy answer to the discrepancy is they are talking to different sources from different teams. Pagnotta said that the Hurricanes are telling some teams to wait while others have had more active talks. This all seems in line with the Hurricanes MO.
So Canucks front office leaks to IMac that there has been “traction”, while Milstein leaks to Dhaliwal that things aren’t close but can change in a call

Imac saying there is some traction
Dhaliwal saying it looks bleak
Pretty easy to see which reported works for which side.

I hate these types of updates.
"It's possible that the Canucks sign them but it is also possible that they don't. Let's see how this plays out."
Thanks so much Ian.

how about "read too much into innocuous statements on social media from family members" szn ?

With the reports that Canucks players have been lobbying Lindholm to stay, and Zadorov being courted by Miller and Dan Murphy…
I wouldn’t be shocked if behind the scenes, some veterans have approached Allvin and Rutherford to stay they don’t want a rehash of the 2020 bubble - where the team felt like they were finally there, had added a good piece (Toffoli) and then watched a whole lot of core pieces and leadership walk in free agency.
I think guys like Miller, Hughes, Petey and Boeser could likely point to that and say “hey, we don’t want to step back again - and we really liked Lindholm and Zadorov and what they brought”.
Just a thought.

Almost none of these guys make their off season homes in Vancouver - and iMac pointed out just the other day that Zadorov’s off season home is in Miami.
School is ending and I’d expect the dads who are still here with kids in school like Miller to leave too.

I've heard travelling from Miami to Vancouver can be Messi.
I don't know a single player that spends the summer in Vancouver. Even Myers goes back to the Okanagan. Sedins went back to Sweden every summer and Horvat to Ontario, for example. As gorgeous as Vancouver is in the summer, these people have family and connections elsewhere.
Specifically for Zadorov, his son is only in grade 1 and his daughter isn't even in kindergarten yet. Pulling the kid out of school two weeks early isn't a big deal.

Gotta say, Milstein is quite a character

Once the season finishes, Myers has to go back to Okanagan Lake to take up his offseason job as Ogopogo.
Jimbo is running out of time again.
They are probably prioritizing Blueger.
When will the franchise learn.

Yeah, I seen that after. I guess I'll have to read forward to respond to previous
Milstein clients are overpaid.

Kuzmenko fired him recently, and Mikheyev is looking like the next trade or buyout. Looks like Milstein is losing his Canucks AGM spot…
