Rick said the Canucks did not want stamkos right?

yes but things could change with a phone call.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

yes but things could change with a phone call.

I think Rick is implying there are not even going call Stamkos agent.

This Guentzel situation is so interesting, I feel he is still going to go to market, he Knows for sure Canucks gonna come in with a massive 9.5m offer, no doubt.

So does he wanna stay in the states and play for Carolina, play somewhere in the states for cheaper like dallas, or go to canada and play for Vancouver for a massive deal.

the ball is in his court and agent

Any math guys know the tax stuff between here and North Carolina? Guentzel is said to be good for 64 there over 8. What's that mean for over 7 here? Factor in tax and the 8th year we can't currently give.

 

[Canucks LB]

MY NEW MASTER PLAN LEADING UP TO AND AFTER FREE AGENCY:

PRIORITY #1 - TOP 6 SCORING STAR PLAYER: Jake Guentzel, Steven Stamkos, Sam Reinhart.
Sign a 4m Defender, Resign Silovs.

IF NONE ARE AVAILABLE: PLAN B:
Get TWO Top 6 "Good" Players: Jonathan Marchessault, Chandler Stephenson, Jake Debrusk, Tarasenko.

IF 3 OF THESE 4 are GONE: PLAN C: (Panic Plan)
Go for Longshots and hope they stick, Fill Roster with a Ton of Depth across all positions.

Forwards in this Tier I like:
Jeff Skinner, Cam Atkinson, Anthony Mantha, Jason Zucker, Tyler Bertuzzi, Max Domi, Victor Arvidsson, Tolvanen

Defenders I like in this Tier: Chris Tanev, Matt Roy, Brett Pesce, Matt Grzelcyk, Brenden Dillon

IF YOU STILL CAN'T MAKE IT WORK: PLAN D:

TRADES!
TRADES!
TRADES!

Players I would target in trades: Barzel, Necas, Ehlers, Tuch, Buchnevich, Zegras, Farabee, Chychrun, marino

That's it for now. Enjoy!

Sam Reinhart or Guentzel please. This team needs
To improve the top 6.

Interesting indeed and if he doesn't come here I wonder what plan B is exactly.

We gotta give EP40 more than Hoglander and ? (at one time I thought Pods might be a top 6 guy now I think he is a 3rd line type of guy but Garland is blocking him from that spot and the hope we saw at the end of the 22 season seems like a distant memory now.

Sat was saying a way the Canucks can beat a team like Canes is with signing bonus money.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Retired, my ass! @ziploc

certainly have done my part of the alley-oop here

You ass will be tired all right

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Stephenson and Arvidsson would be good pickups.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

I would avoid giving any kind of term to Stephenson or Toffoli given their age and the seasons they just had.

UFAs I would give term to: Guentzel, Reinhart, Marchessault, DeBrusk, Amadio, Heinen. That's basically it - maybe I could be talked into Teravainen.

Something I don't understand is why Lindholm's rights haven't changed hands. Is it because Boston is such a shoo-in? I would've thought how barren the FA centre market is, we would've seen at least some demand for his rights.

 

[Michael Dal Swolle]

It still feels weird to me coming into a July 1st with a good amount of cap space and being excited for what the GM is going to do, instead of mentally preparing for the worst

We prepared for the worst and we almost always ended up cringing AF moves to contemplate with.

One does not simply "prepare" for the wrath of the fatass...

Why bother when you can just tamper instead?!

Rights barely get traded anymore. League wide tampering happens non stop. Why pay for the milk when you can get it for free.

Lindholm isn't interested in playing here and he thinks he is a top line center. I doubt the contract he signs will be much better than the 7x7 he was offered here. He will go to Boston who will soon realize that you can't win shit with Lindholm as your 1st line center.

Because no one is willing to pay him what he wants except maybe Boston because they can accommodate a lesser player at 1C given the strength of their top wingers.

 

[Jerry the great]

Stephenson and Arvidsson would be good pickups.

I really like Arvidsson. Great skater, fearless, high compete...he'd be a perfect fit stylistically. As long as he can pass a physical, Injury history is probably beneficial here as it should absolutely cap the term he'd otherwise be able to command. Great fit on PP1 and RW2. Only a year older the Guentzel. 3 years at $4.75MM is a lot more palatable (IMO) than 7 years of Guentzel at $9MM+.

Stephenson is a good player, but unless they're moving Pettersson or Miller to the wing, where does he fit?

 

[JT Milker]

I like Stephenson and think he’d be a good stylistic fit but contract scares me.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I think both would thrive in Tocchets system. If they signed them and Dillon and maybe a depth D, I'd be satisfied.

Hoglander - Pettersson - Arvidsson
Miller - Stephenson - Boeser
Joshua - Blueger - Garland
PDG - Suter - Podkolzin

Hughes - Hronek
Soucy - Myers
Dillon - Juulsen

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

If we strike out on Guentzel/Reinhart, I kinda want to see a $4.5M offer sheet (2nd round compensation) sent to a guy like Dylan Holloway or Braden Schneider. Maximum chaos.

 

[StickShift]

Sat was saying a way the Canucks can beat a team like Canes is with signing bonus money.

I pretty much expect if the Canucks do get to make Guentzel an offer—it will have the maximum allowed front-loading and maximum amount signing bonuses/minimum actual salary. It will effectively be styled like a long-term Auston Matthews contract.

If the Rangers trade Trouba and free up enough cap-space, I imagine that will be Vancouver’s biggest competition for Guentzel.

 

[Szechwan]

Man, I'm working up in the central coast this week and don't have any service for most of the day. I come back to this thread to see what's up and you animals have rattled off like 20 pgs. You absolute degenerates

Stephenson is a good player, but unless they're moving Pettersson or Miller to the wing, where does he fit?

Just like Lindholm, I imagine Stephenson’s priority will be finding a team where he will clearly be given a top-six center role, and not a sometimes top-nine center/sometimes top-six winger role.
