Excusing the fact that your list is mostly wrong do every team's third line Center offensive production and if we could go a route where the third Center out produces the average we could be just as in business

I love Pius Suter, but I don’t think he’s a 2C. He’s a streaky offensive player who puts up goals in bunches, who plays solid defensive hockey even when he goes cold offensively.
I’d love for him to come back, at the right price - but that price gets higher and higher the more he rides this current hot streak.

So with Chychrun getting an 8yr X $9 million contract, does that pretty much guarantee that Hughes' next contract will have a FLOOR of $13-14 million/yr? Boy howdy, he's gonna get $PAID$

Hughes’ next contract will be max AAV unless he decides to be kind. And he’ll deserve every penny of it.
Make MP’s contract look really nice
His value is absolutely a league-max, no doubt.

Yea, Jakob Chychrun’s contract has very little effect on Hughes’ future earnings. He’s a top 5 player and will be compensated as such.

He’ll get more than that I’m guessing. If he takes $15M under a $113.5M salary cap that’s the equivalent of $11.6M under this year’s cap. If he does sign for $15M AAV he’s likely leaving a lot of money on the table so hopefully he does.
he's going to get whatever he wants lol
All the remaining UFA D are going to make f***ing bank.

I think all of them are going to get like 8-9M easy and with that, 5 teams are going to go from having a lot of cap to not a lot real quick.

Ekblad may have teams wary of him being damaged goods, but I agree with the rest. There’s going to be some crazy money thrown around on July 1st.

I think that will just limit his term but dollar value should still be high.
If Junior and Mancini can keep progressing into next season, Canucks could have an entire defence* of players that have excellent cap hits.
*depending on if Myers can maintain his play or, even better, be pushed down the line-up a bit. Then he'll be just fairly compensated.

To you're point.....Suter is a very good player who ideally can be 7-9 on a depth chart and not be relied upon to play C.
Given the list of players above and their roles which one's would substitute Suter with any of them? Probably none
Now that he's looking to cha ching and likely regress in SH% next year we have to explore our options.

Hopefully Suter wants to stay badly enough to take a "team friendly" deal.
Because his price keeps going up by the day.

Marcus Pettersson would get 7-7.5 per on the open market. His contract is an absolute steal.

He has also shown to be able to play on a top line and compliment 2 other 1st liners. His versatility has value. Not to mention he has became a very good PK'er. While he lack speed, size and flashy-ness, he is a very good plug-and-play piece that can play just about on any line.
I wouldn't mind signing him to around $5m as long as the term is not long. I'm concerned that other teams will throw out the same cap hit but at a 5-6 years term, that would make me very hesitant to match.

Doubt we can afford him. Great player, but he'll be wanting to cash in. Hasn't earned much and he's only had five seasons in the league. Undrafted.
Plus the fact the Canucks just keep paying all these players more and more and it's not as if they are really scaring anyone.
25 Regulation wins out of 71 games. Thank god for the loser point.

I see him as a capable 3C who can play spot duty up a peg but you don’t want that for long stretches.
I also like him better on the wing. 100% you re-sign if you can get reasonable value AAV
I wouldn't say he's an ideal 2C on a contender, no. But if he can maintain being a 0.5 PPG guy, with his trademark elite defensive + PK play, while sticking at center....that is absolutely a 2C quality player relative to the rest of the league.
I don't think the rest of the league values him as such, which is why I'm optimistic they may still be able to re-sign him at a relatively reasonable deal.
