I mean, Rantanen supposedly wants 14M. With MacKinnon at 12.5M and Makar at 9M, Colorado could be paying even more for three players (35.5M). And imagine what Makar demands in three years when his current deal expires. At least whatever we lock Hughes to will likely be the highest we ever pay him.
Point is, with the cap going up, you're paying the better players a lot more. Just how it works out.

Agreed, but Rant and Mack are better than EP and BB.
Hughes and Makar are a wash
Theyre elite talent and ours are very good talent. That has to be reflected in the salaries and over all cap hits for the group

Will the Canucks make a trade before the NHL trade freeze? It might be too late by January 3rd.
If they lose 3 out every 5 games now they might be 6 points back with 3 teams to jump over and they have a harder schedule going forward from there.
To keep in it now they will have to find one of two needed 3/4 dmen for playoff success ASAP.
They lose 2 of the next 3 the season could be done if other teams win 2 out of 3.
They might lose to Florida and Colorado, win against Boston but that could be a toss up, should beat Utah, SJ. The Seattle games might be the deciding factors.
Playing .500 hockey will not get them into the playoff without help, meaning other teams also losing at that rate.
Trade freeze is on December 19, kind of a shitty time to be traded if there is family involved unless there are no kids or a player feels relief, in that case then maybe it is an early present.
Hoglander? Boeser for Jiricek where Boeser is just minutes from home?
I don't think they can wait too long to decide or pull the trigger if there is another loss.

Which it is. MacKinnon signed his gift of a deal three years before Pettersson and Boeser will be anywhere from 5-6M cheaper than Rantanen.
