Goalline Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hey guys, I've been a fan of this team for over three decades now and have drowled at the thought of Jagr with the Sedins for years. I think the Sedins and Jagr could generate a lot of offence in the playoffs playing a puck possession cycling style of game and using the big shots in Edler and Garrison on the point. Jagr signed last year for one year at 4.550 million, obviously he would have to take a bit of a pay cut this year. Do you think he would sign for $3.6 million this year? With the cap going down and him getting older I think he may have to settle for that type of number. Although not scoring a whole lot in the playoffs he was an effective player for the Bruins in all the series and I truly believe he is one of the few players in the league that could compliment a cycle game with the Sedins and has an elite shot to finish when he gets the oppurtunity. Pros Adds scoring depth to our top 6Allows Burrows to play with Kesler again. Kesler has always played his best hockey with Burrows in my opinionGives us more options on the PPGives us much needed size in the top 6Allows for more depth throughout the lineupGive Nicklas Jensen a year in the AHL to developIt's only a one year contract, still giving us room to resign the Sedins and Hansen for next year ConsNo room cap wise to give any of our kids a shot if they have a good campJagr is old and our top line would lack foot speed, we'd need to compensate that by giving them all of the draws in the offensive zoneDoesn't allow us to be able to go after a 3rd line center should Richardson failDoesn't allow us to add any sort of expensive player if an injury occursWe are really tight against the cap Goaline's 2013/2014 Canucks FORWARDS Daniel Sedin ($6.100m) / Henrik Sedin ($6.100m) / Jaromir Jagr ($3.600m) David Booth ($4.250m) / Ryan Kesler ($5.000m) / Alexandre Burrows ($4.500m) Chris Higgins ($2.500m) / Brad Richardson ($1.150m) / Jannik Hansen ($1.350m) Dale Weise ($0.750m) / Mike Santorelli ($0.550m) / Zack Kassian ($0.870m) DEFENSEMEN Alexander Edler ($5.000m) / Kevin Bieksa ($4.600m) Jason Garrison ($4.600m) / Dan Hamhuis ($4.500m) Chris Tanev ($1.300m) / Frank Corrado ($0.599m) Yannick Weber ($0.650m) GOALTENDERS Roberto Luongo ($5.333m) Eddie Lack ($0.750m) ------ CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter) (these totals are compiled with the bonus cushion) SALARY CAP: $64,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $64,052,778; BONUSES: $0 CAP SPACE (21-man roster): $247,222 Well... what do you think?

-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I don't mind the idea, but in my opinion, our #1 priority first should be re-signing Chris Tanev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgson!! Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Tanev probably won't sign that low unfortunately, and we need a 23 man roster. But Jagr was on my FA wishlist since day 1, and since there is that rule in the CBA where you can exceed the cap by up to %7.5 when you sign a player over 35 to a contract with a performance bonus. So instead of signing him to a 3.6m contract, we should just sign him to a 1 million dollar contract with a 3.5m performance bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a Fool Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Jagr can sign a bonus heavy contract, and the Canucks can push those bonuses on to next years' cap. See: Alfie: 3.5M base, 2M bonus; Iggy: 1.8M base, 4.2M bonus. We could throw an offer in the 5M range for Jagr if it was bonus heavy. Also would rather have Jagr playing with Kesler 5-on-5, but with the Sedins on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vansicle Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 He guys, I was thinking that a world class player might come to Vancouver and give us a chance at greatness, lol. Of course, our GM is POISON and no world class player in his right mind will come here for fear of being traded two years into their contract. What do you guys think?

Danthecanucksfan Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Id like Jagr on a 1 year deal, but I dont see us getting it done unless Booth is waived for the rest of the season or we trade him. Theres just no Cap space to sign Jagr and re-sign Tanev, Weise etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 if Gillis can get rid of Booth for a 7th round pick or thru waivers, i'd be willing to for anything less than 3.75M. But with Booth we dont have the cap space. Or if we trade Edler, which I doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasaslapshot89 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Like that idea. All three see the game so well. If they can make Anson Carter look good, just think what Jagr could do. Even though he is getting old. Keeps himself in top shape and didn't look too bad for Boston in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I have also thought about this for a couple years now too, I think it would be a perfect fit for the Sedins, but at the right price. Jagr seems to sign for more than what I believe he's worth, and that's when I start to question him coming here, it has to be the right price. He's 41 not getting younger, yes he's still a good player, but he's not 30 anymore, plus he seems to get injured quite a bit, lots of times his groin. He signed with Philly for $3.3M, and last year Dallas signed him at $4.5M, what's he looking for now $5M? Like I said I think he would be a perfect player for the Sedins, just like I have thought Bertuzzi would also be a perfect player for the Sedins, but at what price. If Gillis can get Jagr at $3.5 MAX ok, or even a lower signing but have a player bonus where he could make more if say he plays a certain amount of games, or certain amount of points sure. Anything more than $3.5M isn't worth it, especially with the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridehard1212 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 FORWARDS Daniel Sedin ($6.100m) / Henrik Sedin ($6.100m) / Jaromir Jagr ($3.600m) Zack Kassian ($4.250m) / Ryan Kesler ($5.000m) / Alexandre Burrows ($4.500m) Chris Higgins ($2.500m) / Brendan Gaunce/Jordan S. ($1.150m) / Jannik Hansen ($1.350m) Dale Weise ($0.750m) / Mike Santorelli ($0.550m) / Brad Richardson ($1.150m) I think that Richardson will play, and maybe will he play the whole year on the 3rd but i believe that he has to really outperform both GAunce and JS as the canucks would rather give there young guys with MUCH higher cieling a chance over a guy that has to play out of this world to put up 40 pts. That being said, whats the chances we have a full healthy lineup all season!!!! quite likely this is our lineup for a bit: Daniel Sedin ($6.100m) / Henrik Sedin ($6.100m) / kassian jensen / jordan shroader / Alexandre Burrows ($4.500m) Chris Higgins ($2.500m) / Brendan Gaunce / Jannik Hansen ($1.350m) Dale Weise ($0.750m) / Mike Santorelli ($0.550m) / Brad Richardson ($1.150m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Jagr only cares about money and hes looking for and will probably get 4mil+ Tanev at 1.3? more like 1.8-2mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Canuck Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Forget it! We need to get younger and faster, not older and slower. Jagr has nothing left in the tank in the playoffs, and that was after a shortened 48 game schedule. How well will he play in a full 82 game season? Plus I don't think he's interested in coming to the west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
