1. Pettersson
2. Hronek
3. Lindholm
4. Tanev
5. Convince Bleuger and Joshua that they have a great thing going here and to take a reasonable contract
6. Zadorov or Cole if it's reasonable
Let Myers go unless he wants to stay for $1m~, but someone will give him the Gudbranson contract

Pettersson and Hronek are given and that their new contract is taken into consideration with the 67 mil projection.
Obviously it all changes if Pettersson is moved.
Signing Lindholm is definitely at option, but i wonder if they prefer to target someone like Geuntzel instead.
If they do sign Lindholm at at around 8mil, it would leave them with about 12 mil to sign a top 4 Dman, backup goalie then depth forwards.
Hoglander - Miller - Boeser ($15.7 million - Hoglander has the speed to be that puck retriever for the other two linemates)
Petey - Lindholm - Podkolzin (there's gotta be a reason why they're seasoning him for so long in Abbotsford, he'll probably have the confidence to be a top-6 winger; sign him for $1ish million, keep Lindholm and add him to the core)
Joshua - Blueger need to come back to reunite the successful 3rd line, though they need to watch their asking prices (perhaps up to $1.5 for Joshua, $2 for Blueger)
Aman - Suter - Mikheyev hopefully is talented enough to help the Russian get some scoring mojo back
Hughes - Hronek
Zadorov - Soucy (should bring the big Russian back, contenders need physical D)
Depth
Demko
Silovs?

Dump Mikheyev by any means necessary. Go big game hunting and sign both Lindholm and Guetzel. Easy, since everyone will want to play for the defending champs.

Now we still need to fill a couple spots and have a 13th forward but there is no reason we can't have an even better roster next year. Not to mention if we can get any type of hometown discounts we are off to the races.

I would start by trading EP and Hughes to the Jets for Namestnikov and DeMelo.
Seems like something that should be asked after the playoffs as then the Canucks would be tested and be able to see what lines and players worked and what didn't.
The playoffs really shine a light on the deficits in the team makeup.

Water which is too pure has no fish
A core of Miller, Boeser, Pettersson, Lindholm, Quinn, Hronek, Demko will ensure continuous playoff appearances.
Yep sorry that was part of the equation. Canucks will have roughly around 18-20mil cap space
Definitely should dump Mikheyev and replace him with Bains/Podkolzin for additional cap space
Q: How would you fill out the Canucks roster next season- 20+mil cap space available?
A: I would send them all the overpaid bums from my team.

With Guentzel being American you probably don't take that risk and just sign Lindholm before free agency. He's also going to be asking for more than Lindholm too so you would be left with more like 6-7M to sign a top 4 defenseman, back-up goalie, and depth forwards.

Trade Mikheyev for cap space.

How much money is there?
D/G= 27.475
F=40.8
9/6/1 for 68.5
You can fill in 2F and G with ELCs/$1M contracts
the focus is on a C, 1 RW, and a RD with about $16M in space. If Poolman is on LTIR you can use his space to fill it with a similar price vet D.
If you resigned Lindholm for $7M, a RD for $5M, a middle winger for $3.5M

I think a lot of this is going to have to wait to see how things shake out down the stretch and in the playoffs. That can end up really shining a spotlight on what is most critical in the roster, who can go without a big impact, and what sort of other elements are needed.
Pettersson and Hronek are the first order of business. That's probably $12M + $7M minimum. Call it a round $20M for both for some wiggle room.
There's a lot of money coming off the books too though. Even if most of it is just middling and depth money.
They're going to have to rely on cheap contracts like Podkolzin filling a role next year. As well as some mix of Hirose/McWard/Wolanin/Bains filling spots at minimum salary that were previously held by $1-2M guys to pinch pennies where they can. Silovs is also almost certainly the backup Goaltender and he can probably be signed to and absolutely dirt cheap, minimum salary deal that shaves another $1M off what DeSmith is costing this year.
The Lindholm thing is really just a "wait and see" thing. How does he end up settling in, how does he fit, and what is he even going to be asking for in contract terms? Have to weigh all that stuff as you gain more information about it all.
Very likely, to make things work while still trying to improve the team...one of Mikheyev/Garland ends up having to be moved. They're both solid, contributing players...but they're luxury Top-9 wingers and i'm not sure a team in the Canucks situation can afford to keep both. But that's also the sort of thing you probably want to evaluate in who steps up come playoff time, and what that means for your ability to move them in the first place. A lot of moving variables there that will become a lot more clear by the offseason.
I don't think there's much room to go "big game hunting" if Lindholm is retained. But if not...there are guys out there that i'd be really intrigued by. DeBrusk lands high on that list. Trying out a guy like Tarasenko on another short-term deal might be interesting. Obviously trying to lure Tanev back home is a popular priority for fans.
I think they also have some opportunities to make deals at the deadline that could set them up a little bit better for next year, ahead of time.
Getting a guy like Scott Laughton would be huge i think, in having that multi-year $3M cost certainty for a versatile Top-9 C/W guy. He can be hedged against as leverage on any of the various guys on expiring contracts, or even in replacing someone that gets traded to make space. At an affordable rate. That's why that option is so enticing to me as a deadline final touch.
It's a situation with a lot of balls up in the air at the moment. It's hard to say how it'll really shake out. Lots of hockey still to be played.

I realize it only makes a difference of maybe $2M at most, but those seem to be very team friendly estimations for Pettersson and Hronek, given the years they're having.
