Apples Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Theres plenty of time left to resign players. I rather have him focus on finding a new coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 As others have said, there is little to do in that regard until the other roster moves are made. The Canucks are currently over the cap, and will be pushing the 10% offseason overage of the $64.3 mil cap, so he's not in a position to spend more money right now. This is a matter of processes, one must be accomplished before he can go onto the next. If MG firms up another contract in Tanev he creates more problems than he solves. Oh, and there is the coaching staff issue. A lot of heavy lifting needs to be done over the next four weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzam Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 how many players are getting re-signed right now during the playoffs? Hardly any... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Tanev is a RFA so he's not going anywhere. The only other guys most people even care about are Lappy and Alberts. MG probably has an idea of what it would take to bring them back so I wouldn't be surprised if he could sign those guys in a very short time frame. That's if he even wants them back.

UFCanuck Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Rumour is that Tanev wants to play in the KHL with Shirokov and is willing to be paid in chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 RFA's Archibald, Joslin, Lain, Rai, Rodin, Sauve, (Stefan) Schneider, Schroeder, Sweatt, Tanev, Weise From the list of RFA's Lain, Schroeder, Tanev and Weise will likely be re-signed with a decent raise. Sweatt will likely be given a decent amount of consideration. The remaining guys on that list will either be re-signed (for perhaps a minimal raise or for the qualifying offer), or moved. None will likely be allowed to walk unless a contract dump is needed and the guy can't be included in a trade. If someone has a better perspective on Archibald, Joslin, Rai, Rodin, Sauve and Schneider I'd like to hear it. I didn't get much of a chance to see them this year. UFA's Alberts, Barker, Desbiens, Ebbett, Gordon, Lapierre, Malhotra, Mullen, Pinizzotto, Raymond, Roy, Sestito, Vandermeer I like Alberts as a 6th/7th d-man. Lapierre should be back, unless the team makes it plain that they want to go with Lain starting next season. Raymond might be back depending upon what comes back in the assumed goalie deal and/or what happens with Booth. Roy might price himself out of this market, but they could do a lot worse than keep him around. Sestito wouldn't be bad a 4th liner at a minor raise. Vandermeer also might not be too bad of a guy to add a bit of physicality. As to the rest: Barker could still be a surprise if he were to pull his act together, but if he's re-signed it's likely for the AHL. Malhotra, sadly, is done. Not sure about the rest. Pinizzotto didn't really show a lot for the limited amount of time he got. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthNinja Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 MG needs to be fired. His painfully slow approach to everything is a joke. Tanev is a young D man that needs to be re-signed. Everyone knows that yet he just doesn't get the clock. It ticks and he refuses to acknowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollumpus Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Reports say that Rodin has signed a two-year contract to play in Sweden in the SEL. He's actually been a disappointment as a Canucks prospect since being drafted in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonz Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 He probably wants to move Luongo (or Schneider) first so he knows how much cap room he has to work with. Also depending on what player(s) come this way in a deal, there may not be room for the Canucks future FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr4ilerP4rk Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 His hands are tied until he is able to move Luongo, Buy-out Ballard and/or Booth (I think they will keep Booth) Until Gillis can free up some cash, he wont be signing any FA's. In fact, if you are Edmonton or Colorado right now, you can smell blood.. signing Chris Tanev to an offersheet of $3.5mil or more would be a great move.

Gollumpus Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I can see Tanev being offered around $1.5 to $2 million per season, and maybe for three years. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dildo Faggins Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hopefully they will finally give up on Ebbett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrious1 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Not too concerned about moves until the playoffs are over. I'm actually quite surprised the Canucks canned AV so quickly after this years post-season disappointment (and yes, it was the right move).

Samuel Påhlsson Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 They sure didn't live up to their contracts so good call, Gillis. I'd let all the UFAs walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
