I feel that too. Getting him and say Dillon would really be a problem for teams to face. That depth in the back would be muy bueno.

Up front my wishlist, would be Stamkos, and sherwood haha. Obviously totally contingent on them actually wanting or willing to play here.

Also I'm prepared to go into the season with just filling in the backend, and striking out up front if it happens. Nothing wrong with going into the season with capspace, it's a long year, and that's just extra ammo to add from other teams selling eventually. The team as is should still be very competitive, not adding one play isn't gonna make or break that out the gates

If we can't add a big forward up front yet (and I am up for bolstering the Defence too), then I'd put EP in between Joshua and Garland for the time being. Figure out the bottom nine with the players we have left over, try to get EP really going. See what kind of forwards shake loose during the season.

Please this. I like Petey with those two in a figure it out dealio while we patiently work to add that top lineup talent.

 

[Bourdon]

Guentzel is the higher talent - but Reinhart can play C and W. Canucks love having C depth, was part of why they liked Lindholm.

With Reinhart, you question how much of the 24 more goals than his previous career high of 33 is real. You question if his 67pts the year prior or the 80-90pt guy is the one you’ll get in Vancouver.

Reinhart is a very good two-way player that is a good PKer as well, though as a faceoff guy, he’s usually sub-50, and not a true center.

 

[ProviesGhost]

it is interesting Reinhart isn’t signed yet, why leave it so late? reports were this was a done deal

Yea, no need to prematurely blow their whole load on a long term relationship. As fans I know we all just want action action action, but I trust this management group to hopefully not do some stupid shit that comes bites them in the ass in short order. Lol

This off season is really going to determine if we call Tanev dad or not moving forward.

If he actually does love this team, and tried forcing Calgary to trade him here at the TDL (while being Quinn's bffl), he's going to sign here.

If he doesn't, oh well... he can join the long list of ex canucks who we will forget about. Your move 'dad'

I mean the break up was our fault, can’t blame the guy if he doesn’t want to get back with an ex that left him on the streets. The man had to move to Alberta. He has pain and may need more time to heal.

Our fault? How is it OUR fault?

 

[alternate]

Look at the innocence here. This is before he had to deal with Messier, Keenan, Cloutier, Benning. This child does not know the pain that is coming his way, and I wish we could warn him. Protect him. Shelter him.

Who knew that innocence would lead to the hiring of Jim Benning.

It will be extremely interesting to me if Tanev reaches FA. He'd have declined DAL and TOR at that point and we offer the best combo of winning and life fit.

With rumors of him getting as much as 4×5m I didn't expect us to be in on him, but throwing 7x3m to Tanev for a LTIRetirement contract would be really tempting to me.

Hamhuis Part Deux.

The plural our as in the Canucks and more specifically the numnutz in the picture.

@SopelFanThe3rd I can't handle all of this alone and let's (open)face it- the more the merrier. Hope ya like baloney mr. rea.

If you play your cards right I'll be makin you eggs Monday morning.

Oh, I don’t think he’s a 50 goal guy at all. I think he’s more in the realm of 25-35 goals, 60-70 points.

But if he can provide positional versatility, two way play, and solid offense on Petey’s wing in that vein, he’d still be worth it.

Not a whole lot connecting him to the Canucks other than one whisper of a report and the fact that he’s from here. I still expect him to re up in Florida. But still.

I still think Guentzel is target number 1 for us. Rutherford sets his targets and goes hard for them. If he gets to market, Rutherford will want to make his pitch.

You'll be learning to handle all of my baloney alone. You'll be a merry and ill be merrier.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

On another note - it wouldn’t totally shock me if Arvidsson ended up in Edmonton.

In all seriousness, Dimbo should not be allowed anywhere near hockey ever again.

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Imagine being a team in need of a goalie and Carter Hart becomes a free agent now cuz Philly doesn't want bad press to qualify him and you can't even make a pitch cuz.... well you know.

Though watch the Oilers sign Hart and Foote. Lol

 

[im gangster]

I don't know how they can have any idea of anything until July 1. The Drai thing. Unless he's already committed and has said so.

Honestly I get it...

I'd be bitter to if I had to live in Alberta aka Canada's waste bin.

 

[vancityluongo]

Canucks love having C depth, was part of why they liked Lindholm.

yeah, and despite getting blueger locked up, i wonder if they'll have any interest in the other former big name flame center traded at the deadline - sean monahan.

obviously fizzed out in the playoffs with winnipeg, but there was a short stretch where people were annoyed we traded for lindholm over him. i think he doesn't really fit a need for us, and we'd probably get outbid by a team like washington, but if he's down for another short-term low dollar deal, i'd take him for the fourth line in a suter-like role. if he was an rh, it'd be better, so maybe the fit isn't there regardless.

 

[Wisp]

it is interesting Reinhart isn’t signed yet, why leave it so late? reports were this was a done deal

a lot of these things can and do strike the very last minute (the actual deadline to get things done is the last moment of free agency, where the player has the most leverage).

but it is interesting a lot of players you figured were safe to stay are going to the brink. Florida penny pinching with championship components? Reinhart exacting every last dollar from his championship forever home, leaving the team capped out? The player angling for free agency does not seem so farfetched when considering the remaining possibilities.

contrast it with the Canucks, who worked out deals with all their guys who had a mutual desire to stay all before the draft.

 

[Cancuks]

I think they'll re-sign Cole for $2.5 million or so and maybe bring in Klingberg or Barrie on a one year cheap deal. The rest of their cap will go to Guentzel and if they don't land him then they'll trade for Ehlers or Laine.

 

[Soups On]

On another note - it wouldn’t totally shock me if Arvidsson ended up in Edmonton.

Arvidsson and someone else to the Canucks if they don't get Guentzel. A trade for Buchnevich would be unreal.

Edmonton ain't signing shit. $9 million for 2 3rd liners, 3 4th liners, and to re-sign Broberg. They need to get rid of Campbell so bad.
