Martinook is 31 and plays a hard game - would not want to give him any kind of real term.

 

[Quinton Byfield]

Dumba is somebody I really want honestly, seems like a guy rick can fix

This is rough though. Difficult comp, but yikes.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

This was always just baked into the strategy they chose though. By trying to maximize over the Hughes/Demko deals (and previously Pettersson), your window would likely be relatively shorter, you might hit a ceiling lower than you’d like, and when the rebuild does come it will be deeper and more painful. Not only do you have to walk a fine line on the salary cap (which they’ve been pretty good with) but you’re avenues for improvement would be narrow and largely market-driven.

That is very well worded sir.

 

[Kryten]

Give me some tough assholes. Im tired of watching the ice capades

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Still think something like Hoglander+ for Ehlers would make a lot of sense for both teams, but not sure what the plus would be.

Agreed. Not sure how I feel about extending Ehlers though - he turns 29 this season.

 

[Canucks LB]

OK, listen to this. I have a complete Plan D Plan!

Let’s do absolutely nothing on day one, not one player.

Let’s see who’s remaining after day 1, and sign a bunch of one or two year deals for much cheaper, and maybe 4F and a D instead.

 

[TruGr1t]

Still think something like Hoglander+ for Ehlers would make a lot of sense for both teams, but not sure what the plus would be.

The issue with Ehlers is probably the same as Necas. You’ll likely need to throw another 1st rounder, and/or top prospect, in there and set yourself back even further in futures for another relatively older player. They don’t seem to be keen to do that.

I could be wrong but I’m skeptical it would cost Hoglander plus a first or top prospect for a one year rental of a 29 year old player who is perceived as being good but not great and a playoff no show. Can’t think of another example of a player like that being similarly valued.

Necas is a different story as a 25 year old RFA.

Wouldn't do hoglander straight up tbh

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

I know peeps are concerned but there is many avenues to make youro team better. I expect trade opportunities to present themselves over the next year.

Panthers built a lot of their team thru trades and other teams castoffs. Canucks need to find the next disgruntled Reinhart/Bennett and pluck them away.

So Draisaitl this year or just wait for Connor next?¿

Exactly. The public seems to think he's younger than he actually is. He's a 29 year old, soon-to-be UFA, frequently injured winger, that is maligned as a no-show in the playoffs. There shouldn't be much beyond Hoglander.

Did my final update to my spreadsheet for a few days. I didn't include the Guentzel, Reinhart, or Carrier extensions because those numbers haven't been reported. I did scratch them off the big free agent list. As always, link is in the stickied first post. See y'all tomorrow morning!

 

[hotshot1]

Stamkos for 2/3 years would be nice. He can still finish and he’s played a lot of important games. I bet he’d still put up 70 points for the next few years. Could be a Sundin type scenario for the younger guys

Thank you for your service

 

[ChilliBilly]

It's a playoff team (barring major injuries). Just not a cup contending team (imho).

But if they make the playoffs, and they do nothing til the trade deadline, they should be able to get some very attractive rentals with all the cap space. In fact they can take some salary dumps and maybe get a few picks thrown in.

 

[valkynax]

Haha no way Oilers will let McDavid go, at all. If they do so, both ownership and management will be annihilated by the fans without mercy, with all of their heads impaled on a bunch of rusty pikes, displayed in front of the arena.

They might resort to measures such as trading RNH away at some point if things are not going well, but I genuinely do not see a scenario where McDavid leaves Edmonton, unless there's a truly catastrophic collapse both on ice and off, to the point where McDavid is completely incapable of tolerating the organization ever again.

 

[ginner classic]

I wonder if Foote and Gonchar could work with someone like Boqvist. Getting out of the Columbus dumpster fire and into a better environment could help him get his game back on track - and we do need people other than Hughes to transition the puck.

I want one PMD and one of Tanev or Dillon. Boqvist, Brannstrom, Jokiharju (trade) Carrier, or Walker could be the PMD. A Brannstrom + Tanev combo on the thir pair would be very solid. Juulsen and Friedman providing depth. Dillon and Boqvist would be good too. With Juulsen here, maybe making the risky bet on the right side would make more sense.

Hughes Hronek
Soucy Myers
Dillon Boqvist (or Jokiharju/Carrier)
Friedman Juulsen

vs

Hughes Hronek
Soucy Myers
Brannstrom Tanev
Friedman Juulsen

I'd want to upgrade Friedman in that scenario. Strangely better reclamation options on the right side this year.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

lol at anyone posting you didn’t want Guentzel or Reinhart.

f*** off.

Would have creamed your pants and screamed to the high heavens if either signed for Van.

And there is no way mgmt can go into next season without giving EP atleast one legit Top 6 winger.

Mgmt has their work cut out for them and so far it’s not looking good.

 

[Jovofan]

Calling it a night. Looking forward to the Frenzy tomorrow morning! See you all then!

I want them, but i'm ok if we didn't sign them for the reason that it was a long shot to begin with anyways.

why would Guentzel want to sign in Canada, let alone western Canada?

why would want Reinhart leave florida, tax free florida for Vancouver? sure its his hometown but seems like a no brainer. Would have Reinhart, but i'm ok with this too. We can look for plan B. it was a long shot to begin with.

get ready for nothing burger from Vancouver.

Neither were liking coming here but for anyone to say they didn’t want them to sign here is ridiculous.

Either one would have been a massive upgrade to the Top 6.

Would love if we could somehow get Marchessault.

Myers on a 2nd unit is a disaster waiting to happen..
