These first two days of the offseason have been a total dud.
Biggest moves have been DeMelo re-signing and Red Wings dumping Walman with a draft pick for some reason. These GMs need to get drunk at some casino and start getting crazy.

C'mon man you weren't this bullish on even giving Joshua any term back in February now with the 20/20 hindsight glasses on they should have signed him and you're criticizing them.
And again do you think his agent would have even entertained that going into free agency producing the way he was that they just take 2 million or whatever you're suggesting.
I think it’s extremely unlikely that this is happening to any significant degree.

The Canucks have a ton people in the front office and a lot of pro scouts. I don’t think they give a shit what Ray Ferraro thinks.
The eventual release on Friday afternoon is going to be heavenly. Edged for weeks and we’ll flood the place at once
Some interesting ideas bantered about this afternoon.
If Canucks strike out on Guentzel, can they become a 3rd party broker for a team that would need to do some roster" surgery" in order to fit in Guentzel.
For example, If Guentzel wants to play in Vegas, Vegas would need to shed cap, can we get someone like Barbashev/Karlsson at a discount to help alleviate their cap issues.
Basically weaponizing our cap space to fill our needs rather than using the cap space to go after the secondary market and the likes of Tofolli etc.....

Vegas would be crazy to trade Karlsson.
but to your question, yes that would be something the canucks should consider.
Im not as opposed to Toffoli as some are. Mainly hes a smart player who has shown decent chemistry with Petey, if term/cap low not a bad plan B.

Ah yes, we can be someone’s ‘Nate Schmidt’ dumping ground again. That worked out so well for us last time.
Ya Karlsson likely not but you never know with Vegas....They are apparently in on Guentzel and Marner yet they have like 2mil in cap space.... They are as aggressive as it comes when in regards to roster construction.
Would love Barbashev on wing for Petey. Hes the hard nosed, forechecker, puck retriever that I think would do well with Petey.

Blueger re-signed 2y x $1.8m.
Seems team friendly.
Most CapFriendly rosters had him at $2.0m to $2.5m. AFP had him at 2y x $2.2m. Evolving-hockey had him spot on at 2y x $1.8m

That's great. That's less than what he was making this year, no?

The silver lining to the Lindholm trade is that it bumped Blueger out of that line, and allowing canucks to sign him to a team friendly deal.
3C checked off...... Might be looking to upgrade that again mid season so that Bleuger can be the 4C.
It will work for now , heading into the season.

This is excellent. Budget 3C signed. Blueger and Suter are absolute steals.

Cammi Granato (Ray Ferraro's wife) has a lot of pull with the Canucks and if he told her that player X that the Canucks are interested in is sucking/struggling or player X is someone who is going to break out i wouldn't see any reason why with Ray's history that wouldn't be info that Cammi brings to the table.
From a professional standpoint i doubt it's projected that way as Cammi wouldn't just be saying "well Ray told me blah blah blah" but i bet it has some degree of influence helping her form some of her opinions.

11 bottom-six forward UFAs for the Vancouver Canucks to consider as they fill out their roster

Some interesting potential bottom-six targets. I don't think the Canucks will add too many bottom-six bodies, but some interesting ones here. They've been linked to Duhaime pretty steadily, so that would probably be the least shocking of the bunch.
