Edmundson would cheaper and he's younger than Cole.

Yes, I feel like this is the route they’ll go. Probably realized Dillon is closer to $4M than like under $3M.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Tj Brodie if he is cheap could be an interesting Cole replacement can play both sides had a bad year but Sheldon Keefe played him way too much and and wheels fell off at the end.

 

[ProviesGhost]

Jeez the hand wringers have shown up, defeatist attitudes and free agency hasn’t even opened yet LOL.

 

[Peen]

Would be down to see us take a stab at Kylington, but other than that, I see why they’re turning back towards Cole.

 

[vancityluongo]

ian cole at a low cap hit would be a great option as a #6/7 D, especially if they properly load manage him throughout the season

 

[Donuts]

Plan B or C:
Still on board on paying zadorov a bit more than what they offer to get him back especially if they lose out on guentzel. Also sign someone like tanev.

Hughes - hronek
Zadorov - tanev
Soucy - myers

Is very good defense in front of demko. You can switch up the pairings as you like

A bit cap space left to sign depth. To get top 6, they might have to get via trade and lose assets in this scenario

 

[wonton15]

Pretty funny to see all the casuals on Twitter and a few on here full on panicking saying we’re running the exact same team back. It’s not even June 30th, let alone July 1st.

 

[timw33]

Jeez the hand wringers have shown up, defeatist attitudes and free agency hasn’t even opened yet LOL.

Everyone has been completely broken by the Benning era.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

That Jeannot trade shows how valuable size and physicality are, makes the Joshua contract look even better now, He was going to get paid in free agency.

 

[I am toxic]

Wake me up when we get to the 5th rou . . . oh, nvm . . . carry on . . .

 

[Tact]

If the Canucks want to do serious spending - they would have to trade Garland for cap.

Otherwise, they’re gonna be tight as to what they can offer UFA’s and compete against the US Markets.

My prediction is they sign Tanev but strike out on Guentzel. If they somehow bring back Toffoli and re-sign Cole - it isn’t that bad.

Maybe theres money to sign Henrique or another 3rd line center if they strike on out Guentzel?

 

[VanillaCoke]

I'm still bummed about Marino, he was cheap to acquire and a great age/contract/fit/familiarity. A bit shocked we didn't end up with him seemed too obvious.

Tanev has to be coming back and Cole for the bottom pair would be decent.
Maybe Utah and more teams are really willing to overpay Zadorov..

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Would be down to see us take a stab at Kylington, but other than that, I see why they’re turning back towards Cole.

Guy I like if they get Tanev he makes a lot of sense they have played together and were really good.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Just saw the CanucksArmy article.

Equally shocked that they went to 5M, and that it was rejected.

Maybe he's looking for the Tyler Myers Benning special.

 

[timw33]

Pretty funny to see all the casual on Twitter and a few on here full on panicking saying we’re running the exact same team back. It’s not even June 30th, let alone July 1st.

Not a single free agent has been signed before the market opens, the only place where we can really make a splash because we have zero extra trade assets. It's insane.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Weird seeing the franchise that is now Utah make hockey trades after being the NHL’s bad contract money laundering bitch for years in Arizona.

Thank goodness for Chicago stepping in to fill the void

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Brenden Dillon, has made it clear already that he would love to sign with his hometown team!!

https://x.com/i/web/status/1795172232060174365

One of the better defensive defencemen available; has good character and he’s pretty tough too

[racerjoe]

Should have expected a few here to be this off the handle...

The other thing people seem to forget is even after FA, this team won't be at its final form. Really we just need to be good enough to make the playoffs, and then we can continue to add as the season goes on.

 

[theguardianII]

Actually Zadorov is/was right around 5 mil, it was term he wanted because his family liked it here. After this FA season that will be cheap especially in 3 years.

Melvin will not be a Tocchet player. They should have drafted a knuckle dragger.

I expect to see some blow out trades, as it stands now they are not as good as last year and some of these teams they rag dolled last year have made some strides in their trades. Geez I hope this isn't a repeat of 2015 then 2016. I doubt very much they sweep Edmonton next year.

 

[ziploc]

Cole in sheltered minutes on the bottom pairing with Myers is....fine. He had a bad/unlucky playoffs.

But we would definitely need a higher end dman as well for the right hand side. We don't want to be relying on Myers in the 4 spot and Juulsen at the 6.

Still lots of options available for forward help, and Guentzel is still out there. All reports have suggested that JG and Tanev have always been and remain their top priorities.

 

[vancityluongo]

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.

agreed completely - if we strike out on guentzel or if he's above $9.5M per year - i'd rather shoot for all three of those guys and/or move a surplus asset (hoglander) for a cost controlled guy like buchnevich as the star winger to complement petey.

suter - miller - boeser
buchnevich - pettersson - pod
joshua - blueger - garland
pdg - amadio - heinen

that's a deep, deep roster with a good blend of everything and guys that can move up and down the lineup as needed.

 

[krutovsdonut]

I'm still bummed about Marino, he was cheap to acquire and a great age/contract/fit/familiarity. A bit shocked we didn't end up with him seemed too obvious.

i agree. they know the player very well but do not appear to have been in on him at all.

 

[Bleach Clean]

That Jeannot trade shows how valuable size and physicality are, makes the Joshua contract look even better now, He was going to get paid in free agency.

His return surprises me because it seems like an overpayment at this stage.

 

[Peen]

Can someone explain what DeBrusk changed over the last 24-36 months since he was discussed as being offered for Virtanen

 

[theguardianII]

Pretty funny to see all the casuals on Twitter and a few on here full on panicking saying we’re running the exact same team back. It’s not even June 30th, let alone July 1st.

That team had room for improvement just from EP and BB. They were still working out chemistry but the "room" was good.
Dillion for around 4.5 mil. now.
