Why not both.

Hughes Hronek
Soucy Carrier
Friedman Myers
Juulsen

Or switch Hronek with Carrier if they want Hronek to lead his own pairing. Soooolid.

Playing friedman on his off side on the third pairing will never happen barring about 4 simultaneous injuries.

2nd round pick to get rid of stone hands ain't the worst

 

[Bleach Clean]

Guentzel:
-Canucks have penciled him in as their dream acquisition
-Canucks won't go to 10m AAV
-thinks 7y/9.5m

Mikheyev:
-Jake Walman trade will be an outlier
-a bunch of teams were surprised that was the cost
-teams knew or had an inkling Walman was available but there was no bidding war for him
-everyone was surprised by the trade
-Mikheyev will require a similar sweetener as Walman
-enough teams are moderately intrigued by him that there's a deal to be had

Plan B Targets:
-might circle back to the Martin Necas conversation
-doesn't think they are on the list of last 3-5 trade partners

Silovs:
-Canucks trying to preserve every little bit of capspace
-had suggested a team might offer-sheet him
-would be in the 3rd pick offer-sheet range
-thinks part of the problem is order of operations: Guentzel, Zadorov, then Silovs

Zadorov:
-interest in there
-calls this a giant game of chicken
-doesn't think most NHL teams few him as a top-pair defenceman
-thinks he gets probably a 6y/4.75m contract

Dillon/Edmondson:
-can see Dillon
-can see the Canucks being in this market and range

I just saw this. The Canucks aren't going to $5m AAV for Zadorov, but it's interesting that they have a base offer on the table and still intend to go after Guentzel...? Maybe they're ready to add to Mikheyev if they should get Zadorov signed.

Their order of operations is also interesting given that Silovs won't cost much to re-sign...

 

[TruGr1t]

Oh yes, do this please. That would be massive, 2nd is worth it.

 

[Josepho]

how the f*** does dumping mikheyev cost the same (probably even less considering the position of the picks) as dumping walman

 

[valkynax]

2nd rounder?

Ouch...

Major ouch.

But...I guess it is the way.

Who cares, we basically have to get rid of him. Just pay the Piper and get it over with.

1st for a Kuzmenko dump and a 2nd for Mikheyev... ooof.

 

[Hammman]

As long as the cap space is used well, absolutely worth it.

 

[Vector]

The rights to Sam Lafferty are tripping me up.

 

[StickShift]

They need to do it. They can’t let Mikheyev’s albatross contract hold up other business they want to get done.

 

[krutovsdonut]

He has quite a bit in the past but Toochet/Foote rarely did it last year.

soucy on the right would open the door to dillon/zadorov.

in this article dillon talks about playing lefty righty when he was paired with schlemko in san jose.

I hated the Mikheyev deal from the moment it was signed, and JR and Allvin wear that, but where we are today ... they have to ditch him.

 

[wonton15]

I’m sorry to have doubted Allvin even one bit. He has a plan.

I've speculated that even if they signed Zadorov and Myers, I'd be very happy with Dillon still. Can rotate between him, Myers, Friedman, and Juulsen. Especially since Friedman can play L/R.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Zadorov 4.75 x 6 Years I do that all day long. Guys 29 not 35.

Its not a ouch if it turns into a quality player

Posted it earlier. Friedman detailing out the trade. Not sure on/if there's a return.

 

[StickShift]

The rights to Sam Lafferty are tripping me up.

I mean kinda makes sense? He played in their system and they must be familiar with what he brings. They may want to simply jump the market on him.

Yeah...but for Sam Lafferty of all people?

 

[Josepho]

who the f*** cares about 2nd round picks

 

[TruGr1t]

Zadorov 4.75 x 6 Years I do that all day long. Guys 29 not 35.

EIther that term is one year shorter, or the AAV is lower for me.
