Rumor: Canucks Now Looking to Add Mid 20s Impact Forward

[platotld]

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.

So 2024 thinking, with teh cap going up 15 million in 3 years, I doubt it. But the Canucks trading one jerk off for another MAY work, and with prospects to boot..
