[Flik]

As much as it sucks to miss out on some of the big fish, I trust this management team, they'll figure this out.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Reinhart is 90% signing with Florida if they're still talking.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Vancouver fans:

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I’ll echo the sentiment that if we miss out on the big fish, I think we will make some minor moves tomorrow and then bide our time with cap space. Wait for a trade option to open up from teams that to spend crazy, and/or keep flexibility towards the deadline.

 

[ephmrl]

Should we be looking at Hayton as a buy low candidate? He was looking like he was starting to put it together a couple seasons ago.

 

[MS]

Yup, probably.

Not sure if it's a fit. Probably better to see what Raty can do first before spending assets on a different project.

I like him but can’t imagine Utah lets him go given they have no C depth.

Just sign Jagr.

 

[ziploc]

I'm not sure Vancouver can handle another Bertuzzi.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Yeah I think it’s fine if we get a couple of cheaper guys and enter the season with like 2M under the cap.

The Canucks will be in LTIR and won't accumulate space. Unless they enter 3+ million under the cap they're best off adding some expiring contracts that they can move with futures. Alex Iafallo, Reilly Smith, etc.

 

[Vector]

No interest in Bertuzzi. None in Stamkos or Toffoli. Very little in DeBrusk. Stephenson’s numbers went worryingly backwards this season. Marchessault would command a term that scares me.

 

[ProviesGhost]

Maybe Zito is so drunk he forgot.

 

[Nopefully]

He spikes water bottles when they lose, he spikes the punch when they win

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Just go with PTO's and hope we have a guy surprise us in camp.

If everything fails then proceed to trade.

 

[Wisp]

Reinhart is likely to put us out of our misery in the next 2 hours (or not). Midnight EST is deadline.

 

[Nopefully]

1 hour, 43 minutes baby!

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Maybe Zito is so drunk he forgot.

Maybe the ask is too much if they can’t move Ekblad.

 

[ProviesGhost]

Well we’ve got that Jett Woo signing to dig into

 

[lawrence]

Why not Teravainen

I'm personally not a fan of any plus 30 free agents. Tanev of course an exception

Don't get why people are upset that other players are signing with teams which Vancouver has zero control over.

exactly. We were one of maybe 14 teams that was interested in someone like Guentzel. We had a 1 in 14 chance maybe even less, given, that in BC he will pay more tax on the same contract he would have gotten in an American State, even less if he stayed in Tampa. Its such a no brainer for him, if he wanted to go to Tampa. easy decision.

It’s time to have a couple local guys on the team. We need at least one of: Reinhart, Dillon, or Heinen.

Love this idea. My friend went to school with Dillon. Hes a great guy. Heinen cheered deerly for the Canucks in 2011. wouldn't mind a low offer low term for him. Let some BC boys go to war with the Canucks.

Take sam off the list

I think we be less disappointed if we just conclude that he will re-sign with Florida and move on, so when it actually happens we won't be surprised or sad.

Now I just don’t want to overpay for Toffoli or Stephenson.

I think these guys we can add on a shorter term, like a few years. I wouldn't mind Toffolis toughness. Would have have f***ed up the preds for flipping Petey over after goal celebrations.

As much as it sucks to miss out on some of the big fish, I trust this management team, they'll figure this out.

I suspect they have a plan b and plan c ready. these high priced free agents were always long shots to begin with. Maybe Duclaire, max domi, Drouin? those guys are only 29.

Should we be looking at Hayton as a buy low candidate? He was looking like he was starting to put it together a couple seasons ago.

tough one. Love his wrist shot though. Whats the asking price?

No interest in Bertuzzi. None in Stamkos or Toffoli. Very little in DeBrusk. Stephenson’s numbers went worryingly backwards this season. Marchessault would command a term that scares me.

Debrusk seems like a well rounded developed player 2 way game. He looked good in some playoffs, but this might be a regretable signing if we go for 7 years.

100 minutes and counting!

99 minutes of hope on the board, 99 minutes of hope

Just sign Jagr.

Interesting, TheScore app put out an article saying he wasn’t qualified.
