DeNiro Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Based on the Aquilini's being down with the 2 year 20 million dollar offer for Sundin, I don't see how we don't make a big pitch. The marketing and merchandise revenue alone has gotta make any GM drool right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 LoL ! The funny thing is,. a few years back I dialled the wrong phone number and actually got the voicemail for "Mike Gillis of the Vancouver Canucks". I laughed and left a courteous message apologizing for calling the wrong number... If only I had kept that number, and perhaps the phone was the companies, handed off to Jim Benning ?? One more pop before bedtime and I would make that call ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 You guys remember when Minny signed Suter and Parise for like 200 million and 13 years? So why can't we get Stamkos and Lucic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest that ARE tradeable assets Could be moved. the rest of our team (prospects) and Sedin's are showing the value of chemistry,. And that is what needs to be protected here. Add a patrolling power forward, a goal scorer, and Beast D man to this mix, . and you get gold. Seats sold out for over five years and easily 3 years of deep play off runs.

We might need to add something on D. A crease clearing Dman if we get Yandle not Buf. And overall I think D might need some extra work to make deep playoff runs. We make playoffs every year for sure and go past 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marketing and corporate sponsorship dollars for Stamkos is why the whole Stamkos to TOR talk makes so much sense, he could make 3 to 4 mill per year just off marketing in TOR. Won't be as good for him in Vancouver but it'll be much better than what he makes in Tampa. For the team it'll be huge, ticket sales and jersey and merchandise sale will be worth signing a guy like Stamkos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure like watching Gurbranson play, Burns is a UFA end of 2016-17.. I the the Sharks are on the verge of a major tear down. regardless, the 2016 trade deadline, season end, and draft day are going to be exciting times for Canucks fans. geezus .. Watching L.A game.. Vinny has 3 goals in 3 nights, see what a change of scenery will do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta believe the Aquilini's were thrilled to finally have a big name player like him to sell tickets. I don't think it will come down to the dollars though, it will be where Stamkos wants to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yeah, I'm watching LA DAL game too, thinking same thing about Vinny. Don't know if he can keep it up though. If he can provide solid 2way game as 3C LA can do some damage in playoffs. Most overpaid guy in NHL history. THe guy was making 10 mill per in Tampa, got bought out and signed 20+ mill in Philly. Robbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a broken leg, he knows 1 injury could end it but still negotiating for more $$, taking it down to the wire. Tampa is a real good, young team who just made the Cup finals. He's the captain and other than LA and ANA it's the best place to play, right there with NY. He would have signed a long time ago if it wasn't' about the money.

I'm saying he's gonna get more than a few huge offers. He'll have no shortage of potential suitors. Thinking that we'll be able to outbid any team to get him is probably unrealistic. If he has no interest in playing here, it won't matter if we offer him 10 mil a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he'll definitely get lots of offers. ANA has lots of cap space. They just traded Hagelin for Peron and cleared up 4mill more next year. I can totally see Stamkos going to ANA. He'll have a chance to win and live in the US, big market, good weather city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
