Rumor: Canucks Now Looking to Add Impact Forward

[credulous]

That is brutal for the Canucks. Norris does not have that kind of value.

i'd do that in a second if i were the canucks but i'm in the camp that believes the canucks will keep boeser for a playoff push and then let him walk in free agency. turning him into norris instead would be fantastic

joshua and silovs are whatever

The way that is worded makes it sound like they would be willing to take on a highly salaried guy with lots of years left who may have soured in their current situation when it comes to production/availability versus contract length and hit.

So yeah, kind of like a Norris/Cozens area where they will attempt to lower the asset cost by saying "hey, we are willing to take on this big, gnarly long-term contract if you are willing to come to the table and discuss".

I'm not saying that other teams will just buy into this - but there are only so many mid-20's players making big bucks on huge deals that would even be remotely available that wouldn't be automatically completely cost-prohibitive to acquire.

well if the other team would give them up due to attitude/health issues nor didn't pan out, why on earth would they target someone like that...

and 28/29 and 29/30

He is signed for 5 more seasons after this one. His contract covers years 28-29 and 29-30 as well. 5 years. Not 3. Where are you getting 3 years?

Absolutely you are correct and I made a mistake. I was looking at the contract on PuckPedia and they present the length very strangely - the graphic went 4 years, then said UFA. But he is signed longer than that.
