He took his ball and went home

If Trouba signs the rumoured 8 years deal between 7-8m per than Myers ain’t getting more than 6-6.5

Mike Hoffman to Van Chris Tanev and 4th to Fla Both 1 year left. Both fill a need for each team where Florida saves a little in cap space and gets a Right hand defensive defence man and we get a LW capable of 30 goals to play with Pettersson and Boeser. If we do sign Myers, it allows Myers and Stetcher to play in the top 4 right side. Hoffman Pettersson Boeser Miller Horvat Pearson Edler Stetcher Hughes Myers

Well by the end of the year we were only 9 points out of a playoff spot and were top 5 I believe in man games lost to injury. Add to this that we lost over 30 1 goal games, also top 5 most in the league. If we can remain healthy, and squeeze out a few more points in those close games, I like our chances with or without Myers. Given that we've improved our top 6 with the addition of Miller, got rid of Pouliot (addition by subtraction), Hughes, Pettersson, Stetcher, Horvat, and Boeser have another year of development, I think we have a pretty decent shot. Sprinkle in a full year of Markstrom (if he continues to play like the 2nd half of last season) and we're a playoff team.

IF that is in fact the case, than the Myers camp has no leverage. There are no other teams to drive up the price. He is a legitimate top 4 dman and plays the right side, so at the very least he checks those two boxes for us. I am warming up to the idea of signing Myers - just not at the terms being reported. I would hope that Benning digs his feet in and offers a max 4 years 30 million dollar contract, maybe 5 year 36 million if there are other teams involved. I would be okay with a cap hit of up to 7.5 but term would have to be 5 years or less (takes him up to the age of 34) and hes off the books by the time Podk and Hoglander come off their ELC's.

I think Miller will play on a line with Horvat and Pearson. Baertschi Pettersson Boeser Miller Horvat Pearson Sutter Gaudette Virtanen Roussel Beagle Leivo

Finesse Line Hoglander Pettersson Boeser So much skill on this level that teams wont have a chance to focus on Pettersson only. This only plays to this line's advantage. I could see the potential of each one of them being 30 goal scorers. I still cant believe Hoglander fell to us. I was sure that he was gone by the end of the first. I didn't even have him on my list of 2nd rounder because the expectation that he would be there was non-existent. Physical Force Line Virtanen Horvat Podkolzin I think he is better suited to play with Horvat. The speed, physicality and compete level (as soon as Virtanen catches on) would be a coachs dream. This is a line that is built for the playoffs. Relentless forecheck, responsible backcheck and the offensive flare to punish teams when they make mistakes

I thought he played well last season. He wasn't a defensive liability and was a heart and character guy. Probably the only physical threat we had on the backend at that time as well. I don't think I would consider it a fail on Benning's part exactly. I would prefer he wait and continue to explore the trade route than spending money on Myers or Gardiner, etc or wait till next year. I think we have one more year before we should be expected to compete/etc. If we don't make the playoffs we keep our 1st as well. Maybe Podk can get out of his contract a year early. Juolevi and Hughes make decent strides this year with the big club, Tryamkin comes back with Podk, and Woo makes the team next year. There are some quality UFA's available next year as well including Barrie. With Tryamkin and Woo in the lineup I think we could go a little smaller on the backend with Barrie. Hughes Barrie Juolevi Woo Tryamkin Stetcher

4+million for a 5/6 guy? I think I would rather have the cap space to take on a bad contract with additional assets or going after guys like Johansson, Connoly, Burakovsky, etc. I don't think you could've moved him for anything more than a 3rd/4th rounder. These draft picks do have value but if we aren't able to move him then it compromises our cap. I always thought he was a fine player and worth at least a late 2nd, but having heard different things from different media sources, it seems there is a consensus that he held a lot more value for the Canucks then he could offer another team and that he is/was nothing more than a bottom pairing guy that could step into a top 4 role if called upon for a short period of time. There is always that off chance he could come back to the Canucks. He is a UFA and I think if he was comfortable coming back at a lower cap than $4m, there is still a spot. by December I expect the following defensive roster Edler Stetcher Hughes Tanev Juolevi Schenn

Yes, a dman would be nice but I don't agree with some on here that the D-man has to be found this off season. Tyler Myers, Jake Gardiner, Rasmus Ristolainen are not the dmen we need. We need a top pairing partner for Hughes. Someone that excels at the defensive aspect of the game lol, not like the 3 mentioned above who are average, if not below average defensively. A stay at home or two way defenseman that will allow Hughes to do his thing offensively whilst holding the fort down in his own end. We need a premier defenseman to do that. Of the players mentioned above, I think Tyler Myers is the most defensively sound of the 3 and would not be entirely against him coming here but not at the contract he's rumored to be seeking. Also, I would now put Lee as the top UFA available followed by Duchene. These guys don't come along too often. I would do whatever I could to try and sign him here. He cements are top 6 and gives us a real shot at the playoffs playing alongside Horvat, Pearson, Miller, Pettersson, and Boeser. Barrie, Faulk, Josi, and Pietroangelo are all pending UFA's next season. I would target them next season.

Completely forgot about Hoglander I like your lineup much better. Given who we have in the pipeline, I don't expect Pearson to be in our long term plans unless he really plays well these next two years. Also, just read Anders Lee is likely to hit free agency. 8 year 58-60 million contract. (cant remember if we would be able to offer him 8 or only 7). Lee Pettersson Boeser Miller Horvat Pearson Baertschi Gaudette Virtanen Roussel Beagle Leivo Looks like a contender roster to me

Cant wait to see what the Canucks look like in 2 years (an optimistic view): ??? Pettersson Boeser Virtanen Horvat Podkolzin Miller Gaudette Madden Gadjovich Lockwood Lind Hughes ??? Juolevi Woo Rathbone Stetcher Top line LW Top pairing RHD We are arguably 2 high end pieces from a strong playoff team (if our players hit their ceilings).

Don't think having one more power forward makes another one expendable my friend

If that’s the case it will be in 2021. By that time I fully expect for our team to come together. Juolevi, Woo and Trymakin are likely on the roster. Hughes and Pettersson are further along in their development along with Demko. If we can somehow get another PP RHD like Barrie I think we are a playoff team without a doubt. Take away the injuries this season and we likely make the playoffs this Past season. we added size and skill this off season. Hoglander and Podkolzin could both be steals in the draft. I for one am not worried about this trade one bit. JT Miller plays on Horvats line this year along with Pearson. That’s a hard battling, defensively responsible line that can all have 20-25 goal scorers. We we need a LW to play with Pettersson and Boeser and our team actually looks pretty good. We can only hope we can somehow find a top 3 winger and a top 4 RHD over the course of the next two years.

1 more top 6 hole left 1 more top 4 RHD hole left to fill Marcus Johansson as UFA Barrie for a similar return to Subbans bring on in the playoffs

Huh??? I’m confused. He almost had 50 points last season, and close to 60 both seasons prior on par with a Horvat production somewhat and plays a 2 way game so would compliment Horvat really well, he also was limited to 14min TOI . He’s a left wing, something we lack and Horvat finally effin gets another winger to play with. His cap his 5.25. Hayes got 7m/7y for the same production and we have him for 4 years at his prime. Miller Horvat Pearson

Was hoping for him too but after 5 drafts, I’ve learned to go with the flow and just trust Benning and his staff. Virtnane Juolevi Boeser Pettersson Hughes Gaudette Madden Palmu Demko Podkolzin Woo Rathbone

Lol wtf does chip know? Steal of the draft. Been on my list since day one and said if he was available at 10 it would be a huge mistake if we passed up on him. Complete game, elite shot, high compete level, great hands, not afraid to get physical, and I’ll bet he brings Trymakin with him. Stoked!!!! Steal of the draft the last 3 years! JB your a gem

That’s the spirit

What? He’s rates as being the 5th most skilled guy in this entire draft!!

Yesssssssss!!!!! We got our Ovechkin

Woahhhhhh wtf! Smokescreen to the max

Trade for 6th incoming?
