Considering the roles he's handed, I would say his stats say otherwise. However, you don't have to agree with me on that, but I think most fans believe that somewhere in that range on a 1 year deal, 2.5 - 3.5 million is far on both sides. He still books more minutes on penalty kill than any other defenseman on the Canucks and our PK is definitely not as good when he's not on the ice.

Misread your post, as far as I'm aware, he expressed desire to return, and he did hold out a long time last year, waiting for the Canucks to clear space, but you are correct, there is nothing that proves that he specifically misrepresented his intentions or lied to the Canucks about it. It wasn't my original post about it though either.

Not a realistic amount, and he's still a top 4 defense on at least 90% of the teams in the NHL. I believe that he would accept something in the 2.5 - 3.5 range, and for what he does and provides in leadership, he's worth it.

How's this for evidence: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/defenceman-nikita-tryamkin-signs-two-year-extension-stay-khl/ https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2021/05/nikita-tryamkin-signs-two-year-extension-to-stay-in-khl.html https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/tryamkin-not-returning-to-canucks-re-signs-in-russia I can dig up about 10 more that carried the story as well if it helps. Sucks, but he's gone.

I'm sure that he'll get the rest of the season for that, I mean, the league wouldn't set an unfair standard, would it? I mean, after letting Wilson off the other day with a gentle slap on the wrist???

Posted this a couple of hours ago in the MacEwan thread. I didn't see knee on knee contact. Did anyone else catch it?

If Edler is good to go for another season, another year of Juolevi, learning from Edler, is a good thing!

He's scheduled for a hearing for Kneeing??? Anyone remember seeing this last night? https://www.tsn.ca/vancouver-canucks-f-zack-macewen-to-have-hearing-for-kneeing-edmonton-oilers-d-darnell-nurse-1.1636045

If Edler wants to be back and do one more season, let him! He's still one of our top 4, and we definitely are better with him in the lineup. 1 year deals only though, around 2.5 - 3.5M per season.

Where the hell has that shot been? #Graovac

Did we save our puck luck, all for one game???

They always look so good until you put the Edmonton McDavid's out there with them.....

Had mine yesterday. Still can't walk through or climb walls, and still definitely can't fly. Trust me, I checked!

I would deliver the fine to the league in nickels and pennies in a big truck.

The problem is, the league wants to be the one in control of punishment for on the ice plays. Then when they don't take action, they act surprised when the players or the teams speak out. The league is Passive Aggressive Either start really giving out punishment for guys like Wilson, or let other teams have a guy who's 6'8", can't skate, sits on the bench until he has to go grab Wilson or Marchand, or any of the other cheap shot artists in the league and push their teeth to the back of their heads. They can't have it both ways!

Benning's hands were tied on selling off aging players, by all of them having NTC's and NMC's before he started the job. Its also surprising what you can do, when you are at the very top of the draft and able to grab a Kakko, or Lafreniere, in its 50 year history, NO Vancouver GM has ever been able to call the first overall pick. That makes a big difference. Benning will be here next season and completely good with that!

I'd be pretty happy with Gallant as well.

No poor Jake on this, if he's guilty, he's likely done in the NHL. Regardless, the embarrassment this has caused to the Canucks, I will be shocked if he ever plays another game in a Canucks uniform. He wasn't tradeable before this happened, his contract with either be terminated under the ethical conduct clause in every NHL contract, or he will be bought out this summer.

It's possible.... If so, yes, I think they would go with Cull.

Green will be back next season, you didn't have enough options in your poll. I believe Green will be back next season and will sign a new contract, but all coaches have a best before date. I believe that Cull is being groomed as the next head coach in Vancouver when Green does leave.

This is awesome!

He's gonna make McDavid his B!t$#

All are playing, I think they are making Rathbone our 3rd line center tonight! Just kidding....

I was laughing at them on the TV last night, saying that the Canucks don't have depth in prospects. It's not that we don't have depth, it's that in a pandemic, with the border closed, we can't just freely recall guys and send them back 3 or 4 days later. You have to quarantine them on both sides of the border before they can join their team.

He did have a plan. Covid undid that plan, same as it did for many teams in this league. 2 weeks before he traded for Toffoli, they had been told in the GM's meeting, to expect a 3.5 - 4 million increase on the cap for the coming season. That is not something that any GM can fairly be held accountable for. The flat cap made it pretty much impossible to do traditional trades and move out salary as, suddenly, many contracts around the league were overpriced based on current market numbers. Only in a flat cap, do you get Hamonic for 1.25 million.
