Bobby_Lu1ngo Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 At what cost though to acquire him. Would it be worth the cost rather than waiting to see if he makes it to free agency and backing up the brinks truck instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedlee Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 No. We have enough forwards in the pipeline...we need Defencemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to wait until we're actual contenders and not have to overpay as much. Are we able to trade for Loungo and forgo the recapture penalty?

Rob_Zepp Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 A player like this is not available for just salary that often and next season is interesting timing for Vancouver's development curve. He would likely see Vancouver as a very attractive landing place for a variety of reasons and an ability to be on a team like he had in Chicago a few years ago (Horvat being Toews, EP being Kane, Boeser being.....well, Chicago never had anyone as good) etc. Sure, if you can make this work without messing with the plan - go for it.

oldnews Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 As nice as it would be to sign Panarin, you have to think about the term - and how long it would take - on a guy that is 27 yrs old this month. First 4 or 5 years - great. 32,33,34,35.....? It's a tough one whether you want to go that long on a 168lb winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 He said lifestyle is priority #1. He wants to be in a big city by the water. Vancouver might be a strong option. But NYR seem to be the most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Pierre Luc Dubois is the guy I want. He would bring the top line grit and skill we need. Him and Bo played well together If we could sign him I would offer 8-10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Why not? He’s a left winger that can drive the play, something that we are lacking..Yes we should (reply to the OP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fecklund Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Any time someone brings up a big spend I feel the need to bring up the elephant in the room (or should I say rink) That being Luongo's cap recapture penalty. I won't go into why it could be a disaster for us in the not so distant future as it's been talked about at length. It's too bad the team fired Laurence Gilman as he was the guy who could navigate a bad monetary situation like that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cost of living is so high that Vancouver is actually a cheap place to live. I'm guessing your talking housing. You can choose where you live, although hockey players can pretty much afford to live any place. I'm talking purchasing power. Food is cheaper, cars, appliances, etc. Lower taxes combined with greater purchasing power. Then add in they're not under the microscope in public like they are here. There's definite advantages for NHL players to play in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think that Canucks will never end up having to pay a recapture penalty. Either it will be struck down for pre-2013 contracts in the CBA in 2020 (like seriously, who thinks the league will actually cripple Nashville so much with a 25 million recapture penalty?), or Luongo plays out his contract, or he'll be placed on LTIR. No team has been affected by this sort of penalty in the past, and it is just unfair to those teams when they made the contracts before the rule.

McIlhargey the Lesser Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 My initial real action was to say no on the basis that we need to upgrade our defence first and foremost and that we have a ton of competition for our forward group. But then the more I think about this the more I like it. First off I’m really high on Panarin. As someone mentioned, he is a playmaker and a scorer. He improves every year and he is at the uppermost age at which we’d want to bring in players with whom to win but still in that range. With him in the lineup we can shed some of our forward vets that are just obviously place holding. Gagner can go; we don’t have to debate about Goldobin; somehow get rid of Ericksson; all the floaters... Package them up with some D and maybe a prospect or two and overhaul our D corps. Basically Panarin solves all our problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
