[Signing] Islanders re-sign Bo Horvat
Elias Pettersson replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Man, if we can land one of Bedard/Fantilli/Carlsson and have them play 2C or 1C (Bedard) and have them at $925k for 3 years that would be huge. Petey will be into his new contract and we'd still be paying the other centre only $925k. It will allow us some major flexibility, especially if we can trade Boeser and Myers and perhaps buyout OEL... -

Our PK is last in the league and the worst in NHL history. How can it get any worse than that? -

Maybe he thinks Bossy, Trottier and Potvin are still on the team? -

[DEBATE] JT Miller or Bo Horvat? Who you got?
Elias Pettersson replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Canucks Talk
@-Vintage Canuck- Can you move this to the Canucks discussion, I screwed up? Thank you... -
So, now that we know all of the details of the contracts, which player are you taking? Miller or BO? Or neither? Let the debate begin!!!

Yes, he was going to UFA and then signed with Colorado the day before he became a UFA. He definitely took less than market. If BO is an $8.5 million player than Landeskog is easily a $9.5 million player... -

So BO got only $250k less than little Johnny... $68 million for BO. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that Bo Horvat would be getting the same total money as little Johhny and $12 million more than Gabriel Landeskog. Yes, $12 million more than Gabriel Landeskog, you read that correctly. Looks like the elephant in the room truly is gone... -
[Rumour] Nikita Tryamkin eyeing NHL return
Elias Pettersson replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I agree. Retaining $3 million on Myers would open it up for more teams to make a deal. If we trade him to Arizona they would want a sweetener attached regardless if the actual cost to them was only $1 million. Like you said, they will probably have several teams lining up to dump their bad contracts on them, so I don’t see them having an issue getting to the cap floor. -
Petey’s isn’t going to Minnesota. He doesn’t even know where it is. Has a Swedish superstar ever played in Minnesota before? Same with Seattle. They are good now, but have an older team. They also already have 2 young centres who are basically their two best prospects/players. LA could be an option, but that is like one team out of 32. At the end of the day, Vancouver is a prime place for Swedish players. Always has been. And he has the chance to be the face of the franchise and the captain while getting an $11 million contract. He would follow in the footsteps of Naslund and the Sedins. There is no guarantee that Minnesota, LA or Seattle will be any better in 2-3 years than Vancouver. They aren’t cup contenders. I can pretty much guarantee that Petey will be the next captain of the Vancouver Canucks and will get an 11x8 contract extension. He will be the face of the franchise for the next decade. The only way this doesn’t happen is if we win the lottery and draft Connor Bedard. If that were to actually happen then I could see us trading Petey for a Kings ransom and making Bedard the face of this franchise.

Those players need to be traded or bought out so that we can take the next step. Petey and Hughes are the core. They will get paid and they will be the leaders of this team. Petey is our next captain. He’s not going to leave because he is going to get paid and be a captain in the NHL. Most teams that are Stanley Cup contenders are capped out, it’s not like they can squeeze Petey onto their roster for $11 million.

If BO wasn't traded he would have taken up $8 million next year. With him traded we have just under $4 million of that money. At the end of the day, we aren't adding any new players until others are either traded or released. Boeser, Garland, Myers, Stillman, Schenn, Demko, OEL. All of these guys could be moved or bought out. I think it's 50/50 that we buy out OEL. That's $32 million in cap space for those 7 guys. We might keep Garland as he's a Tocchet guy. and we probably need to retain $2 million on Boeser, so that leaves 6 guys and $25 million in cap space to replace them.

[Signing] Capital re-sign Sonny Milano
Elias Pettersson replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Best name in hockey... -
Yes, if he comes and plays on the Canucks he can sign his 3 year ELC and burn a whole year off of that, just like Quinn did and his best friend Rathbone. That's the incentive. He can go play in Abby after the NHL season is over if they are in the playoffs...
-
I think he will sign with us…
-
I agree. Boudreau had Podkolzin on the 4th line at times. I'd rather have him on the top line in Abby. If Tocchet puts him with Petey and Kuzy then I'm okay with him on the big club. However, if he is going to be just a warm body on the 4th line then it's a waste to have him up here. They should also let Podkolzin kill penalties as well.
