They have a couple high quality young defensemen in the system, a bunch of draft picks and a reasonable cap situation going forward. Not really seeing a big issue here.
I am ok with this. Hopefully trade protection is minimal

I didn't come into today with high expectations of trading Boeser, but a long-term extension is not something I wanted to see.
Really hope this isn't the case.

They can't.
Too many teams with tons of money and limited good options.
Mgmt had their chance during this deadline and they f***ed up royally.

I won't be upset if they don't trade Boeser or Sute but quite disappointed if they can't find a way to utilize their capspace.

I guess the question is whether it’s with us, or a sign and trade elsewhere?
I’ve always been in favour of re-signing Boeser, as I just don’t see him as easily replaceable. But if he’s going to walk, I’d prefer us to try and recover assets and replace him on the roster.
I’m surprised nothing has happened with Suter. With the rumors that he is either asking too much or not talking contract, and the price players like him are getting, I thought for sure they’d try and flip him for an upgrade.
watch them pay Boeser long term, and when Boeser struggles again next year, they start to beg other teams to take him again.
clueless management
if no playoff team is willing to even part a 1st for Boeser, what does that say about this player.
Soft forward, slow, basically rode Jt Miller playdriving to a career year. Been floating in Vancouver for years

Thing is, this is not really a short term plan either. They have not improved the team in a bid to make the playoffs, and in fact sold off a veteran. What type of plan is sitting with a boatload of cap space and the same mediocre fringe playoff roster for the remainder of the season?

We'll then they really need to consider trading Hughes. No way in hell he resigns here.
420 left in trades

I mean it wasnt much of a chance.
The team is just in a horrible situation.

If the prime objective is to re-sign Hughes then you have no alternative but to have a competitive squad. Boeser would have probably been the most sought after forward in UFA (assuming Marner re-signs).

f*** this mgmt group.
If they cave to Boeser after stringing him along the whole time, the contract is gonna look like shit and there's going to be talk of trying to trade him within 12 months.
He's not a fit for what they want to do going forward.
Absolute failure and now trying to "save face".

Yeah but they kept their own rentals and might grab some playoff revenue.
Consensus on Nikishin is that he is probably the best defenseman outside the NHL and will walk into the top-four next season. Scott Morrow is also a pretty good defense prospect. They have some assets coming there.
They also have tons of cap space and (now) draft capital they can convert in roster players. With Aho, Jarvis, Svechnikov, and now Stankoven, they have a relatively young forward core. Jackson Blake and Nadeua look like they should be NHL contributors. I don't see them dropping off soon.

signing boeser is the stupidest move this team could make

Trouble is, it seems like there are a ton of teams with a lot of cap space to spare, the value of cap space will likely be deflated at this point.
No trade protection with a management team who have a tendency to want to trade there newly signed player after only a year, No chance.

They could have had even greater chances at playoff revenue if they added a few pieces around the edges with their boatload of cap space, though. They have the futures to do it as well.

hard to believe canucks are spending time extending boeser before the tdl ends but it could be a "sign this or we move you" situation ala burrows.
