Guentzel over BC BOY Sam Reinhart? I understand Guentzel is good, but he's no BC BOY.

Garland carried Joshua so that's an easy answer
im not all that interested in Tanev. Way too expensive if the rumors are correct

Mr. Canucklehead
Kitimat Canuck
If we manage to offload Mikheyev, we’d have room for Guentzel, Zadorov, Blueger and Joshua at their rumoured hits. Myers would be a cap casualty, and we’d have about $1-$1.5M to add one other body on defense. I think that would be a good roster to roll with.
truth. dont sign tanev too risky. too injure prone he'll be 35 starting next season
agreed. that bottom 6 line even with abby guys if they make it would be weakest link. and probably get eaten alive by the opposition and tocheet wouldnt like that. go all out on offense, spend evenly At d core but sacrifice the lower lines? is that the way? or something else.?
He also has fat genes and now he's in his mid 30s. Even if he eats healthy if he's not working out he's likely to gain weight.

I would have preferred that the cup finals had ended already. I am looking forward to the action starting!
NHL being a copy cat league, looking at the finals with Niko Mikkola playing #4 for Florida and Cody Ceci playing #3 for Edmonton. I don't think spending excess on the 3rd pair is smart.

I tend to agree. I'd rather ride Juulsen/Friedman on our RD3 pairing. The Canucks showed last year that they were willing to enter the season as a work in progress and fill out their depth as the season went along.
I don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves either—but we could have Willander as a RD depth option as soon as this Spring too.

Elliotte Friedman hinting again on 32 Thoughts today that Tyler Toffoli is back on Vancouver's radar—perhaps as a Guentzel back-up.
Defence by committee is what Tocchet always says. A few more D will need to be signed. 7/8 D and Abbotsford is going to need a couple.
AFP has Edmundson or Forbert around 1.5M
Not a terrible back up plan but team could use more speed. Guentzel skates like Miller. Toffoli skates like Boeser.
That makes sense, the only aspect I don't like too much is that it's not exactly adding any speed to our forward group. But, him and Pettersson worked well together so at the right price (and term) I would be interested for sure.
I would really like to kick the can on Arvidsson on a short term deal where he's looking to rebuild value from having such injury plagued seasons. He's small but insanely tenacious and gets in under guys in the slot.
Guentzel. Adding a perennial 40 goal guy could make our top-6 absolutely lethal and is the best way to get the most out of Pettersson.

Pettersson traded? He hasn't fit Tocchet's brand of hockey. And Rutherford did refer to fans reactions and team results of the Horvat trade. EP's game also nose dived right at rumour an signing time. Sign and trade this off season?
Forget all the BS about not having enough money for existing players, they can access 23 mil and don't NEED to sign 9 more FA's
They need to sign Myers, Joshua, Zadorov, Blueger and maybe add Dillion. They have more than enough for that. Of those listed Joshua and Blueger are the best candidates for replacement from Abbotsford. If Blueger and Joshua are let go then there would be another 4-5 mil available if Josh was going to get 3 and Blue 2.
That leaves quite a bit for a FA signing, around 9+ mil or to be used in trades.
They would need a lot of cap space if a Carolina is done.
But they would likely get other centers, Necas and KK (10% retention) with something else thrown in like say a #1 pick or/and Nikishin if a AA prospect is included. Or some other combination.
Moving off Mikheyev's contract would really open the possibilities.
If EP is dealt then replacing his points would be a group thing, Necas looks to be able to put up 70+ points, with more PP time closer to 80+. KK could be the 3rd line center, not bad at FO's and getting decent as a two way center.
That Nikishin kid looks like a good chance to crack the line up depending upon his KHL contract status. EP's cap hit would pay for all.

That’s not true at all, he said he wonders if Toffoli Could be a back up plan for Jake, considering the Canucks specifically talked about speed, he’s probably the last person I hope they get.

It’s a big difference, at the very end he said that he just wonders if toffoli would be a backup option, usually when he talks about rumors, he talks about how he hears something.
I just listened to the clip again, it’s completely his opinion, it’s not insider speak whatsoever.
Sorry if this came off as harsh, I did not mean it to come off that way

His entire podcast is built upon taking stuff he hears and packaging it as speculation. Nothing gets mentioned without reason.
It’s how he can get away with it without falling into the same pitfalls as Frank Seravelli (who too often leans into proclamations).
