I just don't understand giving up picks to clear cap to not use it...

Prob banked it on the top ufas going to ufa

They did it so that we could make an offer if Guentzel or Reinhart made it to UFA. It’s still useful to dump inefficient contracts.

Eh, better to have the opportunity to use it than not to use it. Would've sucked if a big-name UFA did make it to free agency only for the Canucks to not have any money to spend.

I think to a certain degree Mikheyev needed to be fired from the team for his no-show last year. You can't let a player like that continue without repercussions. It's important for team chemistry and culture.

Also retained and just to add another middle 9 forward for roughly the same cost.

 

[Grub]

Wtf we are not even in any of these deals, might as well have resigned Big Z.

 

[valkynax]

When people say you can't control where players go, I can understand that. But at some point this is not going to be enough.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Nsh getting stamkos? Lol

 

[Russian_fanatic]

At this point you gotta resign Zadorov and Lindholm

When people say you can't control where players go, I can understand that. But at some point this is not going to be enough.

Most teams in the West haven't done anything either. the 2 most active western teams, were non playoff teams (Chicago and San Jose) I don't think we should worry too much.

cap space at the trade deadline is extremely valuable.

 

[Vector]

PSA: You don’t have to spend all your cap dollars on the first 5 minutes or today!

O'Reilly and Stamkos on the same line, they should of gotten Toffoli too.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Definitely disappointing how the Vancouver Canucks went from landing Guentzal to Carolina trading him & he signs in Tampa over the weekend stings a little bit.

I think if Winnipeg & Vancouver try to work out a trade the main player that might be interesting would be McGroarty but doubtful the Vancouver Canucks have the assets to land him (Höglander + is the starting point).

As for dmen I wouldn't mind taking a swing on Hakanpaa as a cheap Z replacement. I feel like he fits in as a Tocchet style dman

Would easily do something like Hoglander + 2nd for McGroarty.

Like Hakanpaa too - havfen't heard anything about him.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Nashville apparently in big time on both Marchessault and Stamkos.

 

[Flik]

This offseason is really going to set the tone for our contention window, let's see what our front office will do.....

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Waiting for the "Jason Zucker to VAN" tweet.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Waiting for the "Jason Zucker to VAN" tweet.

I'll puke

They really don’t

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

If true, not what I would have expected for sure. San Jose is going to be rough for a bit.

 

[lawrence]

People need to relax and realize there is still lots of off-season left.

Only 2 western teams made moves.

It was Bertuzzi to Chicago and Toffoli to San Jose. Everyone else lost. Maybe Edmonton, they got Connor brown.

I don't think we should make a signing just for the sake of it and regret it later. If nothing happens, then we just move on. We can weaponize our cap space later. we can take Ehlers off winnipeg and force them to add Rutgar as a sweetner or something.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I'll puke

Followed by the "Marco Scandella to VAN. 2 year 2.75mil AAV"

 

[Donuts]

Depth players it is:
-Monahan kinda rebound a bit last yr - a cheaper replacement for lindholm

-Arvidsson and or skinner
-another dman

Just go big at tdl (crosby)
