Confirmed with Link: Canucks Sign G Kevin Lankinen to 1y/0.875m Contract

They'd be lucky to get him for $3Mx3. I'd do that in a heartbeat.

If another team decides they think he can be their starter then $4M-$5M with term would not be shocking.

The only thing benefitting the team right now in negotiations is that he lost big last summer by holding out for a better deal. He might be a little nervous that that might happen again. If he likes Vancouver he may decide to sign sooner rather than later.

He is not going to be interested in signing a backup contract. At least not before exhausting possibilities to be a starter somewhere.

with a fragile Demko , more realistic

He rightly chose us to audition himself to the league and has been great. Theres no chance we will be able to keep him.
