orcasgonewild Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I think the Canucks need to add one more person if they want to be competitive. Jim bending also said he'd look at 1-2 signings and he wants 20-30 goal scorers. There's been rumbling that he's looking at teddy Purcell, but I'd be more interested in mikkel boedker. Boedker is 26 after all. If the signings were reasonable tell me what you think CDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luongotv Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 We don't have the cap for Boedker sadly. He's going to command north of 4.5m (which is what we have left approximately). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Matt Martin Maybe Vanek if cheap on a 1 year Wiercoch Pirri The last two will be bargains for what they can bring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use someone like him to slot in if a team tries to push us around, plus he'd be good in the room. Kind of like Thornton was in Boston minus the character issues.

orcasgonewild Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 What do you guys think of Brandon pirri? He is a goal scorer and can play wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 One of Vanek/ Stempniak/ Purcell would be great, we'd have some solid depth all around. At this point I'd think the only thing we should add is a middle 6 right wing, and maybe replace Miller in goal. Other than that, this team looks promising already. Danny - Hank - Eriksson Sven - Bo - UFA scorer* Burr/ Rodin - Sutter - Hansen Etem/ Gaunce - Granlund - Dorsett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Ericsson will bring his own scoring as well as elevating others including the twins. Other scoring will hopefully develop within the current roster. We need some more grit up front - Martin for the right price /term would be a great fit imo. Has the size and tenacity for the west and can give any team a difficult time out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But rumored Martin wants 4yr/4mil per so definitely not coming here for that price unless JB moves some money out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors, as usual, seem to have been greatly inflated. Too bad we missed out on this guy, but that's what having a 'Burr' type contract hanging over you can do to a club unfortunately.

I heard on team1040 that the Canucks were "in" on Russel at 5 million over 5 years. Two questions: don't we need to spend that money on another scoring/gritty forward? And, why not Hammer for 3.75 and 2 years (what Dallas paid) rather than 5 x 5? I thought our D looked relatively good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'd hope we are able to sign one of the following forwards: Boedker Pirri McGinn Gagner And one of the following project Dmen: Wiercioch Shultz Schenn I think you can get any of them, other than Boedker, on a reasonable salary for 2-3 years. There are lots of Dmen who don't develop until there mid 20's, might be worth taking a shot at 1 of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
