TheRealistOptimist Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Pettersson hadn’t yet proved himeself when JT was making his decision. We were still expected to be a terrible team this year. It never made sense for him to choose Vancouver last July. However, like some people have said it does makes some sense now with our young core and some good prospects. But we still may be 2-3 years from being a top destination for UFAs though. That’s assuming our prospects pan out and Pettersson, Boeser and Horvat continue to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The Canucks can afford to pay one outside star over the next few years that enters free agency. Not sure Panarin is the right one given the type of overpayment these guys get...or if the timing is right. He has proven durable and productive, and he’s one of the few wingers that actually drives the play. Which is going to cost someone close to 10 x 7. Rather spend 2 more and take a stab at EK if he’s available. Or pay a little less and go after Stone...Probably best just stay pat and add later once we have a clearer indication at what Boeser and EP will cost.

Especially considering we had one of the greatest Russians of all time. His wants might be different than others. I'd LOVE to play in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 To lure Panarin with a full market of buyers you’re gonna have to offer max years 7 and probably over 10.5 mill a year to beat out the rest of the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know Vancouver might be on Karlsson’s short leash. Swedish guys love Swedish influence. At the all star game Pettersson said he was excited to mingle with the other great Swedes also at the game. Maybe if Karlsson feels the same he might like the idea of playing on an up and coming team on the bubble with the best young Swede in the game.

Ballisticsports. Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Maybe try for him? Might get Goldy and the Tree excited to play hard here Panarin Horvat Goldy Pearson Pettersson Boeser Leivo Gaudette Eriksson Roussel Beagle Motte Maybe see what kind of Dman or picks Virtanen & Sutter may get you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just sayin'. I couldn't even convince him to sign on NHL 19. It's a sign. In all seriousness. The Canucks might very well submit an offer, but the guy wants to play in a major US city or a destination city in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Ward Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Panarin and Karlsson would instantly make us a meaningful team. If they can find a way to make it work salary capwise, this would team would be fun to watch. What has been missing, imho, is another creative, passing player. Petersson brings that, but Horvat is more of a shooter. Panarin with Horvat would give us a great 1-2 punch on both the 1st and 2nd lines. This is absolutely necessary to generating real offence. Our PP would be great. Panarin Horvat Virtanen/Goldobin Pearson Petersson Boeser Rousel Gaudette Eriksson Leivo Beagle Motte Trade Sutter and Goldobin. Let Granlund walk or be traded. Baertschi is a question mark. Schaller and Spooner can be waived and wait in the AHL. Edler Karlsson Hutton Tanev Hughes Stecher Juolevi/Sautner/Brisebois Biega Trade Pouliot or just let him go. Tryamkin's rights should be traded for a strong RHD prospect if he has value. Maybe Jett Woo could take Tanev's place after next year. We will draft in the top10 and add another great prospect to the pool. What is missing is a #1 defenceman and, while Hughes could be that, he won't be for a couple of years. Who better to learn from and mentor under than EK. The options of EK, Edler, and Hughes for the PP would be pretty sweet. At the end of the day this is a business and winning is the business. I think the team is hard working, has a great attitude and is just a little short of some high end talent. Markstrom's quality this year is the main reason we might go this way. With great goaltending and the lineup above we could be in a great position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 how about offering CBJ one of our three 6th round picks for the rights to Panarin, that turns into a 3rd if he signs, once the season is over? we can go full-Tavares-pitch on him.

I'd like to have a free run at him for sure, so I'd give up a 6th for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vannuck59 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 We will have to pay at least 11.5 mil for Panarin to compete with US. tax friendly teams he gets Stone money in Florida . Round it to 12 mil. x 7 years that is what it would take to land him in Van-city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
