smithers joe Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 i don't see benning going for big ticket ufa's....my thought is he goes for a rfa that a team has to move because of lack of cap space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Balboa Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 When's the last time the Canucks landed a BIG NAME UFA that we all wanted and wasn't part of the team the year before... We always end up getting the left overs....it's like coming to a pot luck dinner late and all that's left are some fried chicken crumbs and some stale chow mein.

WHL rocks Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 YES, Instead of Stamkos pipedream at 12 or 13 mill. you go and sign Okposo and Lucic/Eriksson at around 6 mill each. You instantly become a heavier and tougher team particularly with the addition of Gudsy on the back end. You have legitimate top 2 lines and a very good 3rd line. You already have a much better D than last year with Gudsy on it. This is what JB has to do and I think he will. He will go after Okposo, Lucic and Ericson. He'll try to get 2/3 and if he does he'll be the biggest winner on July 1st.

Hairy Kneel Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Only one that looks worthwhile is Oky. I'd pay for 2 seasons 6 mill use Vrbata's and Hammers money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misconduct16 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 First off as everyone else has said... no way you get either of those guys under 6M. I'd think okposo gets close to 7, and will want to be in an american market. Secondly.... I don't understand the continual fascination with Lucic. Sure he's a big body with some stick skills, but his skating has always been an area of 'needs improvement' and with his scoliosis (degenerative back condition) I wouldn't want within a 100ft pole of him as he gets into his 30's. On top of that, it seems almost guaranteed LA finds a way to keep him. Eriksson on the other hand is looking for 5 years around 5M... would take him through to 36. This could be worth it, he will be worth the money the first couple years but the back half of the contract could be risky. When he's been with linemates that don't push the play on their own he has struggled, and definitely is a complimentary piece. Best chance the Canucks land one of the better winger UFA's.... and mayyybe a supporting piece or two. Higgins with one year left doesn't make sense to buyout, the cap benefit isn't worth it. Burrows could be bought out. Virtanen starts in Utica. Draft pick in CHL. One of pedan/Biega/Larsen get waived. Without some more moves to clear out existing bottom end forwards and make room for more efficient players, this is not a roster that will do well. Middle of the road out of the playoffs group. D Sedin (7) H Sedin (7) Eriksson (5.5) Rodin (.95) Sutter (4.375) Etem (1) Baertschi (2) Horvat (1.75) Hansen (2.5) Dorsett(2.65) Granlund (.9) Higgins (2.5) Vey (1) Edler (5) Tanev(4.45) Hutton(.925) Gundbranson (3.5) Sbisa (3.6) Tryamkin (.925) Pedan (1) Biega(.7) Larsen (1) Miller (6) Marky (1.55) Burrows (2.5M) Luongo (800k) Even still, assuming biega gets waived, the canucks are at 70.375M for a 23 man roster. Not a ton of room left for any UFA's. Waiving higgins again only clears .875, trading Hansen could free up 2.5.... but we'd have to use all the remaining cap space to sign someone to fill a scoring role. Basically, best hope is that GMJB can find a way to dish Sbisa (I'm not a basher, he does his job, but 3.6M is a tough hit for 3rd pair D). Also need to remember that Markstrom, Horvat, Gundbranson, Hutton, Tryamkin will all need new deals after next year, not to mention another goalie (Demko will need more than 1 year in Utica) and if Baertschi only does another 1 year deal (same with etem and vey to a lesser degree) they will need deals too... and if they improve they'll start costing more and more.

86Viking Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 nobody wants to try and get a good pp qb in fa? I think that has been a glaring need for some time now, and if Yandle hits the market we should be after him, heck if we were to move sbisa or dare i say edler we could trade a conditional pick for his right to try and sign him before FA. This would be a Benning move as ppl love to hate on his inclusion of always adding picks to deals. Yandle 5yr 5.5-6m would be worth it to try and rejuvenate our PP. Pair him with Tanev big E Yandle Big E Edler Tanev Hutton Tryamkin pedan Biega/Larsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danaimo Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 It's not going to happen. You might have the cap space for next season but you need to look ahead to the 2017/18 season. The Canucks are going to have to resign Horvat, Gudbranson, Tryamkin, Hutton and Markstrom, possibly Rodin and Gaunce. The salary cap will probably be under $80m. There is no way that they will sign a top UFA this summer as they are likely to demand a huge multi year deal from a contending team. Rather than throwing big money at UFAs in their late 20s or early 30s, they need to ensure that they can retain their current young talent.

19Nazzy91 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Lucic's overrated IMO. Okposo would be a great pickup, but I doubt he'd want to come to Vancouver, unless we really made it worth his while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
