Canucks & NHL News, Rumours, and & Fantasy GM | Playing out the stretch.

[Hansen]

I'm not so sure

The contracts given out this free agency will appear nauseating at first glance, just watch

 

[Hughes Clues]

Hopefully not us

Soft slow teams do not need to break out big contracts to soft slow players that score as middle sixers approaching 30

I thought we learned these lessens before

And before we bring Brock into the conversation he has as many goals the last 2 yrs as Suter has points and Suter is shooting an unsustainable 6% higher than his career average and getting usage he wont maintain as the team you would think brings in better scorers

Boeser is undeniably more skilled of the 2. Is still soft and slow (exactly what you don't want) approaching 30 (exactly what you don't want) and doesn't kill penalties.

Suter is part of the solution on arguably the leaves best PP. Boeser is part of the problem on an under achieving PP.

For the record. I'm only in favor os signing Suter for about 4x4 or 4x5. I don't want boeser anything more than 6.

 

[Vector]

Someone will give Suter 5M or close to it

I believe that will ultimately be true.

Suter term?

He's averaged 37pts and is older and slower than Boeser

what is going on here

Far far far superior defensive player that is excellent at the PK while providing centre utility. 3.5m should be a pittance if the cap continues to grow, even it the rate slows. Using long term contracts to keep AAV down on middle-6 players has been a common tactic recently but comes with inconsistent results.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

If you look at comparable contracts, J.G. Pageau matches up pretty closely. He ended up with a 6y/5.0m contract that would be roughly equivalent to 6y/5.85m next season.

Wow that's alot. Definitely be letting him walk. Problem is who do we replace him with?

 

[God]

I don't care about Boeser not getting dealt because it was pretty obvious that they weren't going to do it without having another trade in place to get a player back and not make the team worse for the playoff run. And I'm not sure how you can argue against that approach after what Quinn said in that interview yesterday.

 

[arttk]

this is BS.....you actually believe that?

Friedman reported it, I am guessing he just doesn't call up Vancouver and then just report that. I assume that he would call up other teams and see if anyone actually made an offer.

 

[Vector]

It's a major problem. Canucks have to find, at least, two top-6 forwards in a very strange market and weak UFA crop.

 

[Huggy43]

We should trade Boeser’s rights to CBJ for their cannon & shoot Allvin into the sun with it.

I’d love a GM who told Aquilini to shove it and done what is the right decision which was trading him.

[StreetHawk]

Barometer has been reset. Chrychrun got $9 mill aav when under a year ago Hronek and Hanifin got $7.25-7.35 per. 23% increase vs the cap over those 2.

So, yeah, cap has gone up, but so have the prices.

yep, in a rising cap environment with a lot of teams who have space to play with. It's a good way to blow up a budget in a hurry if you get mixed up in a bidding war.

Next 3 years will be bidding wars. The Canucks can't afford to sit out the next 3 years either.

Let's give guys like Ty Mueller and Chase Wouters a legitimate chance.

On a serious note. I have a feeling we'll ultimately end up with Mikael Granlund as a stop-gap guy. Something like 3 years @ 6.5 mil per. The Pavol Demitra signing where finally sign a guy who has been a total thorn in our ass.

 

[GOONER1]

We’re trending so close to scorched earth rebuild.

Miller.
Horvat.
Kuzmenko.
Lindholm
Zad.

So much talent let go by the front office. This team is in no man’s land

 

[Canucks LB]

You "lmao" but I would seriously consider doing it. Would still probably not be enough to offset the upper end of his comparables.

I would do it in a heartbeat lmao

I'm perfectly fine with this type of signing too. Although I'm highly skeptical of Granlund. Good chance that's just a personal bias, though.

You can't use Lou Lamiorello contracts as comparable! If that were true, Dakota Joshua would have gotten Pierre Engvall money.

But that's like half the comparable contracts!

The only players on that list that are legit top 6 guys are Miller and Horvat, and there was perfectly justifiable reasons for their departures from the team. Lindholm is a 3C at this point and Zadorov would be under both the Pettersson's on the depth chart.

the only one we can debate about really is Z because if he stayed, then we would've used that 1st rounder from Miller on somebody else, most likely a forward. But then the D would not be as stable with Z vs MP.

boeser and suter play completely different roles so it's weird to compare them.

 

[IslandBeast]

How do you lose Boeser for nothing and miss the playoffs? What an absolute joke this team is

Horvat was turned into Hronek. Lindholm is completing his second consecutive disappointing season. Kuzmenko spent a season tapping in beautiful passes from Pettersson; inconsistent and bouncing from team to team since then. Zadorov is okay but nothing special-- and Kuzmenko was part of the trade to get Zadorov in the first place. Miller basically became Marcus Pettersson and a couple of lower-level assets.
