I would have loved Lee a couple days ago but with Miller added to Pearson who we already picked up... We've got other fish to fry.

This.

 

Need Defense now. Forward Core is good to go. One d signing or a trade and I’m content heading into Fall.

 

Baer and Sutter being healthy adds two top 9 players. Gotta sign a few RFAs too. 

 

Miller-Pete-Boeser

Baer-Bo-Pearson

Leivo-Sutter-Virtanen

Whatever-Green-Feels

 

lots of skill and size mingled throughout that lineup.

Miller-Pete-Boes

Pearson-Bo-Nyquist

Leivo-Gaud-Virt

Rous-Beagle-Motte/MacEwen

 

Offload Sutter/Baer

 

Bury Spooner/Loui

 

Edler-Myers

Hughes-Tanev

Hutton-Stecher

 

If Juolevi impresses, ship out Hutton.

putting ANY eggs, let alone that many, in the pearson basket would be a huge mistake for a gm that needs to make the playoffs in order to keep his job.

Exactly

Don't need to turn into a contender in 1 offseason

Buying Lou out frees up about 1 mill. Not feasable

Dump Eriksson and Sutter.  Heck, get rid of Granlund, Spooner, and Goldy too. Even Baer.  

 

Lotsa space.

What....Dump JV, Lee is what we wanted JV to become and he clearly isn't even close to this level, instant upgrade from a 4th liner to a 1st/2nd line power forward.

I don’t know that one relates to the other.  We can do both.

 

Pearson shouldn’t be a permanent fixture in our top 6.  If we have visions of success, he and Leivo are 3rd liners (who can move up in case of injury and not hurt you).  It may take a couple years to get to that stage, but I don’t think we can pretend we are close to done up front.

 

At the top end, Lee and Myers cost us $14 million, we can wrangle that and more.

Too rich for us.  When can the Canucks and Loui mutually agree to terminate?  That’s six million off the cap.  

It’s not happening Alf! 

 

I hope it happens but there is no way in hell it does. It would be unprecedented, and one of the strangest moves that I’d ever seen.

Hey, I'd be ok if we add Connolly, Nyquist etc too...

 

Miller, Pettersson, Boeser

Pearson, Horvat, Nyquist/Conolly

 

..would look awful nice. But yes, Adding to our D should be priority #1 whether that be UFA/trade or both and we'll need to clear out some depth F bodies if we're going to add a 2RW.

Laughable concept declared as fact :bored:

In theory? Sure. I'm not opposed to also adding Lee if the terms are reasonable. He's a damn good player that would make us that much better. But as of right now, we have higher priorities to address in the lineup.

 

Our top 6 at present is at least solid if not at 'elite/contender' level yet, even without him. Our D on the other hand...

Then Loui rides buses in the AHL, and we save 1 million off the cap.  Still a win.  Can't have that guy in the room.  He has no energy, and passion.

Only if the Canucks shed some cap.  $14 million would leave $3.6m to re-sign Boeser, Leivo, Goldobin and Motte. Not to mention the rumoured Benn signing.
