Can Florida still sign Reinhart to an 8 year deal on July 1st?

Thought Lundestrom might make it to UFA, oh well.

 

[TruGr1t]

I thought Florida/Reinhart would be a done deal by now given their flexibility with the extra year.

Weird one. Both sides talking a good game, and there was some speculation they were waiting on the Cup parade and celebration today to announce. But yet here we sit, with him on the verge of UFA.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

He's probably not a fit in Vancouver, but I really like Sam Steel's game. I think he will figure it all out at some point.

Seeing what Liljegren was retained for, I'm not optimistic Pierre-Olivier Joseph makes it to UFA.

Lots of interesting value options kicking around right today that I hope the Canucks take a look at:
- Boqvist
- Nylander
- Skinner
- Schmidt
Feels like those guys could be had at cheap money and provide some value further up the lineup.
Still prefer they go after a bigger name though.

 

[Vector]

Joseph seems like a guy who will just inevitably be a Canuck at some point given the Pittsburgh connection plus Castonguay was his agent.

I’ll take a Joseph wherever I can get them.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on Gregor.

 

[krutovsdonut]

i am shocked at the number of "name" rfas not being qualified.

 

[Nucker101]

wtf Sam Steel? Allvin should be all over this.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Holy shit

Looking at Liljegren and Doris extension

I’m loving Hronek and Myers more

 

[Sexy Necksy Garland]

I remember when a poster on here was certain Lundkvist was better than Hronek.

Chytil, Lundqvist, 1st was what was on the table for one J.....T.....MILLER, yuh?

 

[Tact]

Myers is a bargain lol

 

[VanJack]

I remember when a poster on here was certain Lundkvist was better than Hronek.

Lundkvist and Brannstrom are cautionary tales on the erratic development of NHL prospects.

Lundkvist was at one time a top prospect for the Rangers; and Brannstrom was the centerpiece of Ottawa trading Mark Stone to the Vegas Knights. Now both guys hit the market at the same time. And from all reports they'll soon be joined by Adam Boqvist in Columbus.

I suppose the moral of the story is that as a relatively undersized d-man, you need some offensive wizardry to survive in the league.

 

[krutovsdonut]

that durzi extension is more evidence that the yotes/utah's previously unused cap space being in play once again is going to inflate the market as much as the cap increase. it's not just the added liquidity of $30m but where they are going to deploy it trying to catch up and gain credibility as a place to play.

 

[krutovsdonut]

lundkvist, brannstrom and boqvist all getting unqualified is quite a statement by the collective league braintrust just days after quinn hughes wins the norris.

hopefully it doesn't arise from a pending change in reffing approach.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Looks like Boris Katchouk is available. Local kid, he'd be a great call-up option in Abbotsford.

 

[DFAC]

Brannstrom, Lundkvist and Bean could be good gambles. Would be cheap too

Also Durzi at 6m…. Gross.

 

[Bourdon]

lundkvist, brannstrom and boqvist all getting unqualified is quite a statement by the collective league braintrust just days after quinn hughes wins the norris.

hopefully it doesn't arise from a pending change in reffing approach.

The common denominator is that all 3 aren’t good skaters to make up for their other short comings.

 

[Hodgy]

Crazy that Dallas gave up a first for Lundqvist like two years ago only to not qualify him now.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I thought he was held in high regard by Montreal?

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

I think Guentzel wants to play in the West. Not against his former team.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Kovacevic would have fetched a haul at the trade deadline. Surprised Montreal moved on him now, but we'll see the return.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

For the context
Liljegran was a healthy scratch in the playoffs and he’s 25

Now he’s gonna make 3m

He’s been on the block and is UFA after this season.
