[SIGNING] Cale Makar signs 6 year contract
RakuRaku replied to Wayne Glensky's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This is nuts especially during a pandemic economy and cap... I know he's really good but the kid has played just 2 seasons and is getting $9M a year even if backloaded.... Now Hughes will want at least $8M!!! It's GMs like that screwing up the whole landscape! I'd have offered him a bridge deal at $6M x3 while he got no arb rights to see if he can keep up in a 82-game season plus playoffs! -
So what does this leave us in cap situation?? Assuming we can trade away Schmidt and Holtby for picks and buy out Virtanen, we should be able to re-sign Hughes and Petey and Hamonic, pick up a veteran backup goalie and a couple cheap bottom 6 and RHDs? Also, pls don't even think about bringing back Sutter... He's so done.. Can't even stay healthy or put up points...

My 6 year old nephew just commented on this funky name on TV, for Arizona at #11 - Pick Forfeited .... He keeps asking why there's no position indicated. I said he can play wherever hell he wants!! He's THAT good!!

So.... Did we have a draft party planned at Rogers Arena at all???? But I'm sure most of us would prefer one blockbuster today!!

[GDT] 2021 NHL Expansion Draft
RakuRaku replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Did Vegas have a similar show like this?? Good on Kraken to get their fans hyped up!! But as expected, they are picking a bunch of borderline NHLers and cheap labour... -
[Trade] Canucks Trade for Dickinson from DAL for a 3rd.

Hope you're right dude!! I wanna see him and his $6M gone!! His mind and heart weren't really in making us a better team... Let's hope we can get something out of him! -

Dunno who Columbus would be willing to take back in giving us Jenner but I was more thinking about buying out or burying contracts of Beagle/Virtanen/Roussel/Eriksson in order to have cap room to fit in a legit scoring 3C! -
I don't think Anisimov got much left as a dependable 3C chipping in 30+ pts... I'd just sign Kulikov who's a very steady D-man and speaks very good English to help Podz out! I know Gusev is a FA and could help out offense on Podz line too though he's a bit small and tends to be more on the minus side...

Looking at Dickinson's numbers and based on how JB wanna build 3 scoring lines, I don't think he's gonna be our 3C... More like for the 4th energy & shutdown line. -

JB can't get any more creative to upgrade this team adding Hyman without letting go Boeser.... Unless he can somehow find takers for Eriksson or Beagle or Roussel + Virtanen! Keep in mind any savings from letting go Edler and Sutter will only cover about 80% of Petey & Hughes $ for next season!! Holtby gotta be picked up by Seattle if we wanna do more! -
[Report] Canucks won’t protect Kole Lind
RakuRaku replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I'm praying that Seattle picks up Holtby.. That frees up $ to sign/acquire a top 6 forward!! When's the deadline to buy out contracts? -

Please kindly explain how we can afford to sign Hyman who's expecting $5M+ a year without trading Boeser? Hmmmm... Like we can find a taker for Eriksson??? -

RakuRaku replied to aGENT's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
As much as I like his size, age and fit for 3C, did JB just overpay with a 3rd round pick?? But his cap hit is only $1.5M, replacing Brandon Sutter at $4M...so I suppose we got a win here!! -
[Report] Alexander Edler to hit free agency
RakuRaku replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
It's a win-win really... Edler has been a loyal soldier for us in last 10 years and he deserves a decent deal for his last couple years. We can't afford to pay him over $2M.... he'll likely land a deal for $3M x2 with a contender... time to move on and we thank and wish him the best!!
