I can summarize Drance and Dhaliwal’s new article just posted in four words: “We don’t know shit.” Absolute zero information in there, except Canucks are probably priced out of all the previously mentioned targets… Dillon, Toffoli, Etc.

The only new info is

- "we’ve been told to watch for Vancouver to show at least some interest in Jake Bean, Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Adam Boqvist"
- no interest in Skinner or Stamkos
- maybe interest in Marchessault, Teravainen, Duclair, and Zucker
- they want a bottom 6 forward with speed for around 1 mil

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Not when its tucked up

Mangina

 

[TruGr1t]

They didn’t know shit before either.

Well basically what we all knew .. they were gonna bid on Guentzel, Tanev, Toffoli and Dillon. Sounds like they’re all off the table and they have no other names outside of loose speculation based on reading Cap Friendly.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

So who are the big UFAs for next year?

 

[Kryten]

Mangina

Thats tucked down

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Yeah but not all punches below the belt are dick punches.

Speed bagger.

Box cutter.

 

[Josepho]

will have zero problem if we make no signings tomorrow but I'm very worried about signing long term deals to some of those dogshit secondary free agents

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Not if you got a boner.

This is a failure of epic proportions.

 

[Vector]

Goalies:
-looking for a veteran depth goalie; willing to commit up to 1.5m
-also considering lesser known options

Bottom-6 Forward with Speed:
-Ryan Lomberg and Tyler Motte
-budgeting around 1m

Left-Handed Defender:
-Zadorov wanted to play a more prominent role going forward
-didn't get close with Cole
-looking at options in the 2m range
-been told to watch Jake Bean, PO Joseph, and Adam Boqvist

Top-6 Forward:
-priority all summer
-Guentzel was the top target
-could opt to chase multiple top-6 forwards
-will spend most of their capspace here
-has had interested in Toffoli, Stephenson, and Zucker
-rumblings the Canucks will be priced out on Toffoli on Monday
-wouldn't be surprised if the Canucks heavily court Marchessault, Teravainen, and Duclair
-haven't shown interest in Skinner, Stamkos, or Bertuzzi

Brenden Dillon:
-Canucks have interest
-not expected to be a front runner for him
-Devils, Kings, and Bruins in the mix

Joel Edmundson:
-when checked on Sunday, was told the Canucks will go in a different direction

Of all those names, only Marchessault is of any real interest to me. I suppose one of the Dmen would be ok if they came quite cheap.

[Jovofan]

So who are the big UFAs for next year?

Marner, Rantanen, Crysaitl, Crosby are all the big ones off the top of my head.

 

[AzNightmare]

We’re signing Vrana, DeAngelo, Mantha, and Perry.

Heard it here first.

Feels nice to know we'll get to the finals at least.
Sucks to know we will lose in the finals again...

 

[TruGr1t]

I look forward to the reactions and commentary if the Canucks enter the season with like $10M in cap space.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

This is a failure of epic proportions.

Why? Because they don’t get players that they have no control of, aka Guentzel and Reinhart?

 

[Breakers]

God I hope were not interested in Bertuzzi

 

[Vector]

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Now that Reinhart and Guentzel are off the market

I rather them go dollar store shopping

 

[rea]

I look forward to the reactions and commentary if the Canucks enter the season with like $10M in cap space.

Oh I can already see the many posts of trade ideas so far fetched to get baby Jesus, the wisemen, Mario lemieux, and every top player here with junk and capspace. It'll be great and I have gifs for days

Boqvist maybe a "alright this is your last chance" contract and see what he can do.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

God I hope were not interested in Bertuzzi

Why not

He’s great on forecheck and always produce in the playoffs will flourish under Tocchet

 

[coastal_nuck]

Why are people freaking out and feeling like they failed on free agents that act on their own will and are not in the control of the team?

 

[lawrence]

Crysaitl

I was wondering who the f is he talking about and it turns out its Leon Draisatl

Why are people freaking out and feeling like they failed on free agents that act on their own will and are not in the control of the team?

exactly. Guentzal and Reinhart were long shots, to begin with anyway. We have a better chance of winning 2 rounds than signing any of these guys. Let's just hope we have a reasonable plan B. I rather not overpay anyways.
