The fact that they were quick to move on from Lindholm and Zadorov seems like they were confident in replacing them. I don't know how you can really do that now.

It'll have to be more like a 2nd line winger/3rd line center/5th defenceman.

If the offer of $5.5m avg for Z are true; I'm not sure what more they could to do. His agent has apparently said he wanted a bigger role which Van could not offer him.

 

[TruGr1t]

At this point just don’t sign any stupid deals. Wait it out and try to put together a winning record early in the year. Fill a few holes. Regressing was always in the cards, if not probable, after last year.

Yeah, I think the rumoured $5M for Zadorov and $7M for Lindholm was more than fair. That just seems like a case of those guys wanting to move on and chase their bag somewhere else.

Long term it might be better that the Canucks missed out on Reinhart and Guentzel.

100% this

 

[Lindgren]

Suter/Miller/Boeser
Hoglander/Pettersson/Joshua
Podkolzin/Blueger/Garland
Di Giuseppe/Aman/Bains
Sasson

Hughes/Hronek
Soucy/Myers
Wolanin/Juulsen
Friedman

Demko
Silovs

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Suter/Miller/Boeser
Hoglander/Pettersson/Joshua
Podkolzin/Blueger/Garland
Di Giuseppe/Aman/Bains
Sasson

Hughes/Hronek
Soucy/Myers
Wolanin/Juulsen
Friedman

Demko
Silovs

That'll get you into the playoffs but not out of the first round.

 

[Lindgren]

That'll get you into the playoffs but not out of the first round.

Just imagine the possible trade deadline acquisitions ...

 

[krutovsdonut]

Maybe the real #1 target was the friends we made along the way

or maybe the real #1 target was inside of us all along.

 

[LandfiII]

That'll get you into the playoffs but not out of the first round.

Perfect. Sounds like we can be smart with our money tomorrow and add as we go.

 

[Nopefully]

We train and create all these hockey machines and then they don't come back, almost ever. We'll always have Dan Hamhuis I guess.

 

[Kryten]

That'll get you into the playoffs but not out of the first round.

That D isnt making to anything. Of course there willbe additionsand subs but yea the current roster is quite poor

 

[VanJack]

Slowly but surely the big ticket players are coming off the board.....so unless a big trade is coming, I wonder how active the Canucks will be in Free Agent Frenzy.

Some of these guys are getting basically stupid money and term to boot......hopefully when the frenzy subsides, there might be some 'value players' still on the board. That's how they inked guys like Cole, Blueger and Suter a year ago.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Still some quality defencemen on the board:

Pesce
Montour
Skjei

 

[Kryten]

We will see if 2024 turns out to be like 2016 for the league

 

[PG Canuck]

We are always the bridesmaid or signing C talent to B contracts.

But everyone always gloats about how everyone wants to come to Vancouver????

Guentzel and Reinhart are and were always pipe dreams. As will the next batch of top free agents. As will the next. And the next…

 

[Cupless44]

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.

Same here. Not a lot there and please no to a player like Zucker

 

[Hooz]

 

[rea]

That'll get you into the playoffs but not out of the first round.

But this also means they have so much capspace and picks for bullets at tdl to fill holes, when the dollar value of the cap multiplies. They'd not go into playoffs with that roster I'm pretty sure given how this management has been working

 

[David71]

what if vancouver brought back oel on a 1 yr deal. would his previous caphit count? + his new contract.?

 

[valkynax]

Trouba in action:

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Of who is left:

Stamkos
Marchessault

Probably pipe dreams.

Toffoli
Arvidsson
DeBrusk
Teravainen
Stephenson

Hoping for at least one of the above.

 

[Kryten]

Trouba in action:

He FA and about to FO

 

[David71]

Suter/Miller/Boeser
Hoglander/Pettersson/Joshua
Podkolzin/Blueger/Garland
Di Giuseppe/Aman/Bains
Sasson

Hughes/Hronek
Soucy/Myers
Wolanin/Juulsen
Friedman

Demko
Silovs

so basically you're running it back with the same squad with a few abbotsford guys in there. yeah that team isnt making the playoffs let alone getting out of the first round. number 1 priority is to get petterson some winger help. theres so many what ifs... what if hughes gets hurts? miller boeser? whose replacing them?

 

[strattonius]

Marchassault 34 - he could easily fall off a cliff next year not really interested in lil' dickey

 

[pitseleh]

Frustrating the team didn’t pony up for Guentzel’s rights.

The rumoured names don’t inspire a ton of confidence - would rather have Mikheyev over a guy like Teravainen, frankly.

Marchessault (without too much term) and Matt Roy are the only difference makers left. Ok with Arvidsson short term too. If those aren’t players the team could land, would rather go short term on some quality two-way players (Martinook, Carrier, Trenin, etc.) and a couple upside plays and plan to try to grind it out next year.
