[Just A Bit Outside]

I cant get over how bad Carolina has fumbled Guentzel and likely a bunch of their players this offseason

They’ve done their usual hard ball stance and it has bit them in the ass.

Necas likely still wants out as well.

Expect them to take a big step back next year.

 

[krutovsdonut]

Vancouver has been sending cute smiles at Guentzel since last TDL. They’ve been playing the long game.

Tampa just rolled up to the bar at closing time.

but she was still leaving with her bf as recently at last call until we started waiving our billfold around. and tampa's got a bigger billfold and a shorter drive home.

They deserve it, lol. Hardball playing, penny pinching asses. Probably wanted Hoglander for Guentzel’s rights

Carolina should've done what Vegas did and secure an extension in place before making that deal.

If Carolina is ever going to get to that next level they will have to get comfortable signing contracts that age poorly on the back end of them. Still can't believe they didn't go hard after JTM when he was potentially available.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Would be amazing if we get Stamkos

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Jake Bean also available.

Guentzel is the OnlyFans girl Vancouver spends a lot of time messaging and pining over.

Only to see her get what’s coming to her from another guy.

 

[kanucks25]

Brannstrom is an interesting bottom pairing target.

The Canucks were great in their own end last season, but outside of the Hughes pairing their inability to transition the puck up the ice was a big detriment in the playoffs.

If he can help in that department on a cheap, 1 year deal on the bottom pairing it would be a big boon. Team needs to make some cheap upside bets (in addition to the known need to get a regardless if they’re going to improve on last season.

Small, Canucks have shown they prefer size in for their bottom 4. They probably rather play Juulsen over him as the #6 if they had to (even though neither guy should be in the top 6 of a good team).

 

[Diablo2020]

Forget the UFAs lets do some Mikhayev deals that help us fill spots without locking in much term.

Josh Anderson 5.50 x3
Jp Pageau 5.00 x2
Niklas Jensen 4.05 x2
Jeremy Lauzon 2.00 x2

We would need slight retention on a couple, or just a really big one on Anderson, to also sign Silovs as the backup.

Hoglander - Pettersson - Lekkerimaki
Suter - Miller - Boeser
Joshua - Pageau - Anderson
Podkolzin - Blueger - Garland
Di Guiseppe - Aman - Karlsson

Hughes - Hronek
Soucy - Jensen
Lauzon - Myers
Wolanin - Juulsen

Demko, Silovs

 

[olafsson]

Until Guentzel or Reinhart sign on the dotted line, my hopes for either one tomorrow are still high. We have a lot going for us

 

[Canucks LB]

Isn’t it kind of crazy there’s absolutely no leaks right now?

Other than the Jake Wish list to come to Vancouver.

I have no clue what they’re gonna do

 

[ameselare]

If he was on that trajectory sure, but he's not.

Yeah he'd be a throw in, not the main piece.

If we can't land any big fish tomorrow, and since this team's window is the next 3 years, and STL and Utah want to be competitive (meaning we likely can't extract any of their top 6 forwards if they achieve that), we should be hoping like hell that our top prospects have big years, Ottawa sucks again, Brady requests a trade, and we give up a haul to get him

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

There are definitely leaks - Drance/Dhaliwal have namedropped Guentzel, Reinhart, Toffoli, Stephenson, Tanev specifically. But yeah, next few days will be interesting.

I'd prefer for the Canucks not to suck ass next season

Until Guentzel or Reinhart sign on the dotted line, my hopes for either one tomorrow are still high. We have a lot going for us

Yeah - it's basically unprecedented for players this good to get to July 1st. In the last decade I can think of two high-end UFAs: Tavares and Pietrangelo. This year we could have three: Guentzel, Reinhart, and Marchessault.

This is probably the best July 1st to have cap space available in league history.

 

[MS]

Would be amazing if we get Stamkos

He’s basically 1999 Mark Messier at ES and bleeds goals because his motor is broken and his production is going to crater without Kucherov on the PP.

His ES production last year was worse than Dakota Joshua.

Stay the hell away.

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Sobif both reinhard and guentzel want to come to van, who would you prefer

 

[Regress2TheMeme]

I'm curious if management misd out on the big UFA fish if they might look at Marner. They might get him for deep discount if they can absorb his cap hit. I know he's been poor in the playoffs but he's got elite talent and would make magic with Pettersson.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I want nothing to do with Stamkos.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Guentzel. Not a fan of Reinhard. Hasn’t produced in the NHL.

 

[MS]

Sobif both reinhard and guentzel want to come to van, who would you prefer

Reinhart is younger, more durable, and vastly superior defensively. And has C utility.

Guentzel is probably a slightly better bet to light it up in year 1 of their contracts but on overall value for 7 years I’d take Reinhart.

 

[kanucks25]

So... as of now we have

Hoglander - Pettersson - ***
Suter - Miller - Boeser
Joshua - Blueger - Garland
Di Giuseppe - Aman - Podkolzin
(***)

Hughes - Hronek
Soucy - Myers
*** - Juulsen
(Friedman)

Demko
***

4 spots to fill. You'd think Silovs and someone like Karlsson/Sasson/Raty/Bains for the other forward.
Two big holes on 1RW and 3LD

I'll fill your spot.

Toronto is not trading Marner for cheap.

Panarin and I’d argue Hamilton, but yes this is unprecedented since the very early days of the cap.

 

[Tact]

Is that taking playoff production into account as well?
