Carolina has met Guentzel’s ask. Now it’s up to him to decide where he wants to play out his career…

My guess is Utah.

 

[StickShift]

Dunno, I just feel like if he really wanted to be in Carolina, he would've signed already and they wouldn't be waiting to the 11th hour.

My guess is that Guentzel is hoping for an 8th year—but as a sign-and-trade with another team.

 

[Vector]

I bet you Carolina is asking way above what everyone thinks a fair price for a sign and trade is. If he turns them down, curious if they would then lower their ask.

 

[wonton15]

Trade the 4th+ from the Mikheyev haul to give Guentzel the 8th year cowards

Carolina probably demanding Hoglander. Knowing they way they normally operate.

They're leaking this to pressure him to re-sign.

If his teammates and fans know CAR met his ask and he walks, Guentzel reveals he never wanted to be there long-term. Let's see.

f*** it, I'd do that for Guentzel.

What would you do for a Klondike Bar Guentzel?

 

[timw33]

Well if Guentzel *is* going to sign elsewhere I would rather it happen before July 1 so that we can at least adjust the plan and focus on Tier 2 top-6 options at lower cost while also going harder after quality Top-4 D options.

Like, this is where my head is at. It's weird that this stuff is leaking now. That they are taking a strong run, that they've met the ask, etc. It feels like posturing more for the sake of their fans than for Guentzel's sake.

They would just sign the guy without and drama if things were actually going along that smoothly. It would be like Florida with Reinhart.

 

[Szechwan]

f*** it, I'd do that for Guentzel.

We don't negotiate with terrorists!

 

[olafsson]

Come to Vancouver, Jake. Don’t sign Carolina’s offer

 

[Nucker101]

Friedman not sounding as confident a couple of days ago as he was last week was the wet blanket we ignored

 

[Bgav]

Highly doubt we get Jake. No source just going off being a Canucks fan my whole life lol

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Once Reinhardt and Guentzel re-up, the Toffoli sweepstakes are going to be nuts.

 

[Vector]

If Guentzel is gone, I’d much rather they spend the money on Arvidsson, Zadorov, and another RD. If UFA is the route they want to go.

I'd rather just gamble on Marchessault not falling off, that guy is a clutch stud. Or explore trade options.

I may be in the minority here but Sprong + 1 of FoegeleAamadio/Martinook/W.Carrier sounds better than Toffoli or DeBrusk to me if we're going the depth route.

Yeah we could probably have Arvidsson and Tanev for the cost of Guentzel alone. Dream scenario is we luck into Matt Roy at under 6MM and completely solidify our top 2 RHD spots for the next several years but I don't have high hopes.

I keep forgetting about Marchessault. Would definitely be interested, love his finishing ability and the fact that he's a "low mileage" pro due to getting to the NHL pretty late.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

I'm interested in Sprong too but Tocchet would murder that guy

 

[ziploc]

PTSD is a legit source.

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Marchessault might be a good choice too. Cant go too long on the term though.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

I can't imagine Vegas moves on from Marchessault, they're so thin on the wings after Stone. Though I do wonder what the hold-up is.

 

[Soups On]

Made a joke about getting him at 50% + a pick for nothing. Now that's he's available... Could he work here on a show me contract?
