  1. He’s making 3M$ now. I don’t see him re-signing for less. He’ll go on the market see if a fish will bite. if nobody does, only then will you be able to sign him to a show me what you got 1 year deal IMO we have other priority and young players who needs ice time before we make a commitment to him prior to July 1st
  2. Unconditional waiver for contract termination, assuming that it was understood he would clear, no point on mentioning it IMO
  3. Problems is, top defenseman (especially RHD) like Pietrangelo don't come on the market every year. So if you want to hit a homerun you need 3 things to happens, 1- that type of D needs to be available via UFA, 2- you need the cap space to sign that type of defenseman, 3- you need these two first things to happen the same summer. Otherwise, you need develop your own Defenseman and in that regard, we have both been one of the worst developing franchise in the past decade and we've given away countless picks that could've turned out to be a decent top 3/4 defenseman eventually. What you are left with is a desperate team that wants to improve a position, which leads to that team to overpaying/overvaluing a player like Myers when he hits the market as one of the top available option of a weak field.
  4. Yes, also, those call might not be for a trade deadline deal, but rather early discussion on a potential draft day deal. If Demko returns and is lights out, even on a short period, it could help his potential return.
  5. I'm not sure, but I believe those deals were expiring after the season. Here that team would be retaining 3 seasons of Boeser for a 4th rounder. Again, I'm not sure but I believe max retention is 50% total. So the Canucks would have to retain 25% and the 3rd party another 25%. Otherwise that's 75% retention. Again I don't know the rule by heart, but I thought so.
  6. So then why are teams callings according to this thread sources?
  7. Demko vs Schneider (at time of trade) 27 years old vs 27 years old 151 nhl games vs 98 nhl games most games played in a season 64 vs 33 career stats < career stats playing for a bottom feeder vs playing for a contending/president trophy team And you can’t call 15 games a season, come on
  8. Demko = Schneider from 2013 So basically the return should realistically be anywhere from 7th overall to 12th overall. But nobody will trade a lottery pick, so that trade will either happen on the draft floor or be a 2024 top-5 protected pick. Otherwise your looking at à A to A- prospect + bits and pieces
  9. You know there are other team in the league right? if NJ and Rangers were not interested in Miller and Boeser before, trading Horvat does not make them call the Canucks. It makes them call the other Teams who have good players to trade with convenient contracts.
  10. Underwhelmed by the return, but I guess Raty is the X factor in this deal. Don’t know him much but better not be a bust. while draft 2023 is strong, the protected first could be a wild card in 2024. NYI isn’t a powerhouse they could stumble into a high draft pick in 2024 (assuming if we don’t get 2023 it’s going to be 2024)
  11. Underwhelmed by the return too, but last time we dealt with Lou on a significant trade we got the upper hand lol.
  12. I mean, there no denying that the Canucks dropped the ball here. But kind of ironic that the medias, who are the ones that leaked the information, are shaming the Canucks way of handling the situation. They are no better IMO. They weren't doing a public service by leaking that information, it was all about the click bait, nothing more.
  13. Exactly, plus if he was ever getting claimed, I’d bet it would be a team decimated by injury and would be back on waivers in a couple of weeks when injured come back. so Canucks would most likely have a chance to claim back.
  14. We can't retain just for this year. We are retaining on OEL for four years. And you actually need a body to replace him.
  15. problem with retaining is that we need to find a new player to fill that Roster spot. If we fill his spot with a 3-4M$ that similar to him in performances and we retain 2-3M$ on OEL, then we paying his replacement 5-7M$ anyways. Might as well just keep him a couple of years, then buy him out of retain the last 2 years. His buyout in 2025 doesn't look too bad. 4.2M - 4.2M - 1.5M - 1.5M.
  16. Can we retain on OEL? I was under the impression that since Arizona is already retaining we can't retain anything. Not that I actually want to retain anything for that long.
  17. 10-team no trade list. Wonder if were on it. This late in his career, doubt he wants to play for a rebuilding team. I'm sure he loved Vancouver, but ready to move on and try to win a cup at this point
  18. They still traded him for assets that eventually was worth less than Panarin, which is what Drance is suggesting. What is selling "high" on Kuzmenko. Even though he's cheap and was potentially UFA as well, I'm fairly sure he wouldn't have return the same package than Horvat would. I think in this case, this signing is the ideal Scenario for the Canucks.
  19. Wasn't that the strategy the Blackhawks tried to do with Panarin?
  20. Everything you say is true, but like you said were committed to him for 7 more years. Could be a hell of a long 7 years if he decides to shut it down and pout. Not saying we should let him act like a diva, but this year is lost. Let him get his points, maybe someone will call, desperately needing to add some offense. If he's still here next year, then you can set new expectations/work ethic during the off-season and go from there.
