That's 8.5MM of the 13MM worth of cap they'll get back from the final back breaking Suter/Parise buyouts allocated towards Faber. Obviously a much better value for your cap space, but brings into question what they were thinking signing Marcus Foligno 4MM x 4, Trenin 3.5MM x 3 , and Middelton 4.35MM when they were just about to get out of cap hell and have an insane amount of flexibility to improve.

Interesting, Faber had a similar season to Hronek where he came out of the gate like gangbusters and tailed off after Christmas. Probably at least something to do with the minutes played. He's obviously substantially younger, but fair comparable.

He played with 2 fractured ribs in the final months of the season.

Brock's are built tough.

I don’t think there’s much “thinking” going on here.

 

[wonton15]

I followed Faber very closely because I picked him up as a free agent in my pool and he helped me win first place. He was sensational in the first half of the season. That is my professional analysis.

 

[Vector]

It's extremely common for NCAA guys, and a lot of rookies really, to lag behind in the second-half of the season.

[SeawaterOnIce]

Most predictable scenario. A bridge to UFA.

Carolina is probably meh to the player but their ask via trade was probably outrageous and stupid.

 

[wonton15]

This was the most obvious outcome. They’ll probably still end up trading him within the next year or so, unless they continue to be assholes to deal with and he walks

Poolman, Hoglander and a 5th for Necas.

Faber deal is great

He wasn't worth 7x7MM to the Canes, so he probably isn't worth 7x7MM (+ traded assets) to another team.

ES production has been solid for years, just didn't feast on the PP this year like he did last year when he put up 70.

surprised that he agreed on a 2 year deal, could've just took whatever he get in arb and walk.

I don't know about that. last three years (5v5) scoring/60 is well below Garland (just an example) and he's barely a plus player in that period. 145th among forwards (min 100games)....whereas Garland was 44th.

They probably should have moved on from this player at/before the draft IMO....but they likely had an absurd ask. Maybe cost certainty for any acquiring team will make him more marketable.

he was under team control for 2 years

 

[Peen]

man ive been getting like ten emails a day from the canucks to buy tickets

those higher prices backfiring on them?

 

[StreetHawk]

Necas is 25 with a Jan birthday. Has 5 nhl seasons this a 2 year term takes him to free agency at the earliest possible year.

I am honestly loving the roster heading into the 24/25 NHL season. The depth on this year's Canucks is deep. Good size, skill and grit throughout the entire lineup.

Hoping the Canucks can add another top 4 defenseman who can create breakouts by himself, and occasionally chip in on the score sheet. A Rasmus Andersson would be amazing on this roster. The Canucks need another skilled defenseman just incase one of the top 2 Hughes/Hronek fall to injury.

During the playoff run the Canucks were losing a lot of important faceoffs in the dying minutes. Now that Lindholm is gone, the Canucks are even weaker on the dot. Hoping that Allvin can find a 4th line centerman who excels at faceoffs to ease some of the pressure that will be put on Miller in the playoffs.

Overall I am very happy with what Allvin accomplished in the off-season. The Canucks have a deep roster that will be insanely hard to play against. What a amazing job Allvin and Co have done. I think this roster could go far "Western Conference finals", just need a couple of pieces.

 

[Bankerguy]

i'm not as fond of the Faber deal as everyone else.
it's like, yes, he's had 1 great rookie season. he's only 21. getting paid like a no. 2 Dman for the next 8 years.
If he keeps putting up 50 point seasons and improves then yeah, GREAT deal bang for buck...but that's if things go right. you're getting bang for buck as you're taking some risk. The risk is that he regresses.
The NHL is littered with young 1 hit wonder's who regress. not saying Brock will regress but that's the risk they're taking to get the potential payoff if he keeps getting better

Power and Sanderson signed after 1 season as well. Meanwhile still waiting on seider who played out his entire 3 year elc ala miro so they have a lot more games to base your projection on.

Think you are better off waiting. I mean have power or Sanderson done something this past year which would justify an even larger contract?

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Rumors of Drai re-signing?

I have a feeling he will get 12.5 mil x 8 years.

13 + for sure he’s worth every penny

I knew he'd re-sign. Some people in here thought he'd leave either because he wanted out or because of cap reasons(LOL). Not after that run. Canucks could've potentially made him leave

 

[LandfiII]

Poolman and WHAT for future considerations?

 

[rypper]

I'm sure I need to readjust my ideas of contracts with the rising cap and changing landscape... but that seems high for Faber. But you're buying potential I guess.

I posted this in the other thread but Im hoping Vegas is out of it by the TDL and we acquire Theodore as a rental (or resign him since he's a local boy)

Hurricanes let a lot of players go. It's hard to draw conclusions and they need to sign Jarvis as well.

As for other teams, Necas might not have been willing to sign an extension with a team that Carolina wants to trade him to. 7X$7M is reasonable but I like him more than many here.
