Confirmed with Link: Canucks Re-Sign Dakota Joshua to 4y/3.25m Contract

[PavelBure10]

Another player thinking team first and taking a paycut when he could of cashed out on the open market. Amazing deal by Allvin and that amazing 3rd line is reunited again. Wohoo.

Love Joshua

 

[Jyrki21]

Whoa... genuinely did not expect this at all. And less money than it could have been -- kudos to Joshua for recognizing a good situation and being smart about it.

It does sort of set the Canucks up to do little more than running it back, though.

 

[Bleach Clean]

I had a post that remained unsent last night that wondered why they would pursue Zadorov after Mikheyev was dumped instead of Joshua??

This is right along that line of that thinking. Crazy that he he didn't hold out for $4m+ AAV. Just a few days away.

 

[LordBacon]

Allvin be cooking for the entire province of BC.

If he keeps producing at the current pace the deals gonna look like a steal in a couple of years.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I am laughing because again no insider around had this at all.

Like the deal to.

Rutherford runs a tight ship

He controls the narrative

 

[valkynax]

Iron Chef strikes again.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Like the deal to.

In fairness, Friedman did say last night the two sides were re-engaging as the Mikheyev trade went down.

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Zadorov next.

 

[SiZ]

The 3rd line's got to be penned-in at this point with Joshua-Blueger-Garland running it back

 

[Vector]

Hmm. Interesting.

$15,090,833 remains (+$2,500,000m in LTIR)

Yeah, about 18.5m (LTIR) with a top-6 forward, the entire defence, and a back-up goalie. But a lot of space to make it all work.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Allvin - you are DA MAN!


Our third line is intact!


This management group - feels good man.

 

[TruGr1t]

Underrated is that if you are going to run Blueger at 3C (which looks to be the case now) it is pretty important you flank him again with Garland-Joshua. That was really the period he legit played at that roughly 3C level last year.

Also, Joshua clearly really wanted to stay based on this number.

 

[Bgav]

I know @MS is fist pumping right now

 

[MS]

All the grousing and hand wringing over Mikheyev and Joshua is extremely funny in hindsight.

I apologize to Allvin for my anxiety.

They've now done literally everything I wanted them to do at basically the exact values I was hoping for. f***ing fantastic.

This was a signing that had to get done. A few teams around the league are probably f***ing pissed right now.

Just wait until they re-sign Zadorov, not sure that’ll be popular with Matiar Shah

 

[ahmon]

better late than never. 3.25M is decent number even if Joshua regresses a bit.

he would have been hard to replace. Lets see how Joshua comes to camp with a 4 year term committed to him.

 

[SiZ]

With the 3rd line set, I'm guessing they're betting either Hogs or Lekk will be slotted in the top-6. That still leaves 2 top-6 wingers to shop for.

He lost $4m~ in earnings, imo.

I can't believe he took that $AAV here.

 

[Jovofan]

Wow! Very surprised by this. I hope we can still sign Zadorov though. I don’t think we’d be able to keep both of them.

 

[TruGr1t]

With the 3rd line set, I'm guessing they're betting either Hogs or Lekk will be slotted in the top-6. That still leaves 2 top-6 wingers to shop for.

I would imagine Hoglander will retain his position on Pettersson's wing, there is really not another NHL-ready option. They'll add to Pettersson's other side (Guentzel or other), leave Suter with Miller, and spend the remaining on defense. Third line stays the same as last year pre-Lindholm.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Another good deal and bang on assessment.

Ppl going on about 4M + for one good season never made any sense, again I'm not worried in the slightest for the next few weeks/offseason.

Surely Zadorov is next under five mil.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

“Dakota had a strong season for us and took some big steps forward in his game,” said Allvin. “We really like his size, his speed and physicality. He fit in well with our system and the way we want to play hockey and I look forward to watching him to continue to develop under our coaching staff.”

I've said before, even if he kind of caps out where he is, this is going to be good value. I did not expect $3.25 either - I was thinking between $3.5 to $4 with us, and possibly $4+ on the open market.

Really happy he's back, and our "No Name Line" can ride again!

 

[Tact]

Sometimes money isn’t everything in life

 

[F A N]

Oh wow. I am pleasantly surprised again. Nice tidy bit of work. This could turn out to be a bad deal but I would take this bet. Now we don’t need to go out and trade for Greenway.
