Sbriggs

Salo didn't play nearly as long for us but I'll agree he's injury prone as well

Ok how about 1a & 1b, lets remember Tanev is younger but maybe if he sticks around for his entire career here, he'll take the the #1 spot

Your correct, Edlers legacy here will be "Most injured defenceman of all time"

Ohlund, Jovocop, and Salo for sure

Ohlund definitely a better defenceman then Edler. Edler has the points of a best defenceman but thats only because how long he's been with us. I am sure if Jovocop or Ohlund served their whole career here then they would have better numbers then Edler

Not as stupid as we would look if we signed him to a long term no movement contrtact. The Hamhuis situation was a totally different and comparing them is stupid. Letting Edler walk is probably the smart move here, don't get sucked in thinking we need him.

If that is what Edler wants to do then why handcuff the Canucks @ TD? relationships work both ways and it sounds like Edler is demanding and not negotiating. If the deal is not right for the team moving forward then say goodbye to Edler and understand, wanting to stay in Vancouver is NOT important to him

good idea

No I don't like it, to sweet for Edm. Lucic + Poolparty or maybe 2nd round pick for LE. It has to be lopsided for Vancouver to do this deal. Period.

Getter done Jim

No way Edm gives up 2 1st for Lucic, I would be happy with Poolparty + 2019 8th overall. Thats a fair deal

First of all better or worse Brock is a different player then Bo. Brock is a pure sniper who has never broken 30 goals due to injury and Bo is a work horse shut down/face off guy and a natural leader. Unfortunately Snipers get paid better money then work horse/shut down face off guys. Bo has also been in the NHL longer and has more experience, I am sure Brock will break 30 goals but hey you never know do ya. JB has to be smart here and do whats best for the team going forward as far as the cap goes. Sign Panarin and trade Brock if it comes to that, I'm fine with that. Ultimately I'd like to see a full season from Brock with consistant linemates but its contract time and its like flipping a coin........

Great player, wondering what it would take to sign him and get him away from Vegas. His value has to be Brock money at least, 8+mil. No to offer sheet

How do you know he wants 9-10 mil? We have no idea what is holding this up maybe its term. I hardly think he's looking for 9-10 mil and hasn't broken 30 goals yet

Neither, I would go via trade to upgrade our defense

Its a topic thats out there considering the likely hood we make a deal to aquire the #1 pick. I'm sure NJ attempts to aquire Quinn to play with his brother. We would want the moon for that deal for sure. Not saying we want to trade him just saying what the option may be considering. NJ wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't try as well right?

I agree, I think NJ would take Kakko unless we make a deal with NJ, like Quinn, 10 OA + for NJ's 1st., That would work as well but we would have to draft Kakko which is fine with me just means we have to make a deal for top 2 D man...Karlsson or Trouba maybe or make a trade with cap crunched team

Brock is a character guy, someone who you want on your side come crunch time. Helps he's mega talented as well and has proved it. I'm not sold on Jack yet, I don't know why but something tells me Kakko is going to be dominant

If we trade BB for JH then we have 3 great centers and lost a excellent winger. We need wingers, Kakko is a beast on the wing but I understand why people here want JH. I can't see us moving Brock.

I just think common sense in the new NHL with the cap especially being an American player I would want fair market value right now if I'm Brock and if Vancouver builds a team that can win a cup or two with him maybe then I would be willing to sign with a hometown discount. Some careers can be shorter then some think, make your money when your young and hope too sign long term once you've aged for security.

I think he gets paid now and a possible hometown discount comes next contract

You have to show respect, you find a star & you lock him up or risk loosing him and that sends a bad message to the rest of the team and to future FA's

No Thank You

Not if they don't have the cap to sign him, even if they attempt to sign and trade I doubt anyone give them 4 1st rounders. Like I think most have said here the only player worth 4 1st rounders is maybe McDick

I don't know about that, I think Panarin would look as good on EP's wing
