Good morning, what did i miss?

For the Canucks....zilch so far.

 

[Canucks LB]

For the Canucks....zilch so far.

Oh boy lol

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Stamkos makes the most sense. Won Cups, excellent goal scorer and great on the PP, and he's a right shot as well who is good at face offs and can play center if needed or due to injury. Yeah he's older but if I'm handing out $6 million then I'm paying a guy who has done it all and fans will buy tickets to watch him play and buy his jersey. Toffoli doesn't do any of that and Marchessault is a thin skinned baby as his social media rants have shown. Not a good leader.

This exactly, he’s also Canadian.

Something else looks like the NHL should figure out. No tax states have a distinct advantage.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

A collection of thoughts and predictions as NHL signing season kicks off

With a frenzy of free agent signings beginning today, Elliotte Friedman runs down the latest news, notes and predictions before the market officially opens.

Friedman linking absolutely no one to Vancouver.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Feels like Arvidsson or Toffoli will be a Canuck.

Not ideal but both would be an improvement on Petey's wing.

Down to 32 year old Jason Zucker and Anthony Duclair for top 6 now. Yikes.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

8.5m for Reinhart

No income tax states win again

Gotta love how the deals start filtering in HOURS before free agency actually opens.

When negotiations hit a standstill with the market set to open the team will often give permission for the pending free agent to talk to other teams. Not unusual or anything.

 

[olafsson]

For some reason I just don’t have a great feeling about this off-season. Prove me wrong, JR/PA

 

[Tact]

Tanev, Toffoli, Motte, LHD.

Still don’t see Tanev signed yet confirmed.

Then save the remaining cap for the deadline

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Luke Hughes or even Dawson Mercer could be a prime offer sheet targets next summer.

 

[JT Milker]

That management does not seem interested in signing secondary players to bad contracts is a vote of confidence if anything.

 

[Nucker42]

No Guentzel hurts but I recall a lot of fans having issues with the Miller deal at his age. It’s very similar and carries risk.

Marchessahult, Stamkos, Tanev all way older and carry extreme risk and will likely be signed long term.

The whole improvement with the organization is that they have mostly stopped doing dumb things.

Just target some players who you can sign to reasonable contracts.

 

[lawrence]

Debrusk
Declaire
Drouin
Zucker
Monahan
Toffoli still available.

 

[D0ctorCool]

I’m happy enough starting the season with the roster we have alongside some cap room to do something down the road.

[Billy Kvcmu]

Rumour from Friedman is that OEL to Toronto 3x4m

That’s a bad contract for a third pair D if true

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Time to leverage Cap space into a Theodore from Vegas and other teams willing to clear Cap. Laine also feels like a real possibility here with retention.

OEL's agent : Let's get us another buyout!

Just go the trade route, this is getting silly.

 

[Flik]

https://x.com/i/web/status/1807762069455823285

Yeah, we can't compete with that, oh well.

 

[mdobbs]

You can always add these types of players at the deadline, often on much shorter contracts

Canucks don’t need a bunch of free agents to be a contender next year

 

[Soups On]

Carrier (despite reports of re-signing), PO Joseph or Bean, Arvidsson, and another top 6. Manifest it, people

Nobody stood a chance at countering except for the Florida Panthers.

Well, there's nothing to be panicking about boys. every very other Western team hasn't done anything major except Chicago signing Tyler Bertuzzi.

We had no chance at Reinhart as he never reached UFA. Reinhart everyone knew he was gonna stay in Florida.
We had no chance at Guentzel as he never reached UFA. I doubt he had any interest in coming to Vancouver and whatever we had to offer, would have been countered by any team with a smaller tax system.

I'm open to some of the leftover options. If it's no more than 3 years. At least we don't have to tie down to one player for 7 years. If not we just go according to plan, I think we really should find another RHD. We can also weaponize our cap room for later use.
