Question is, who has the cap space and is close to doing that? I don't think the Panthers are close, and based on their revenues, they have stated that they are not looking to be a Cap team, comfortable being in the middle of the pack. That's not necessarily conducive to signing one guy at 10 million cap hit, much less luring him based on being able to make a run at the cup. I could see him going to Pittsburgh or the Rangers, but I don't thing the Rangers are all that close either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think players really want a cup over cash or they'd sign for league minimum. They always go for a happy medium but cash is still king, and so are the bright lights.

They can't keep loosing double digit millions indefinitely. Beautiful building down there as well, have been to a few games in there. Like the building in Arizona though, its in the wrong place to attract fans who has a lot of other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallon has been given the green light to spend right up to the cap and has already announced that they will be a cap team.

They were talking about the draft and free agency in general. I then hear Panarin briefly mentioned from them and how they really love the player and will attempt to go after him come July 1st. And then they were talking about random stats and stuff. I wasn’t eavesdropping but I heard them for a minute or so when grabbing food and Panarin was the only name specifically mentioned that I caught. I googled the Canucks staff and turns out one of the guys I could clearly remember and make out being a younger looking fella was a guy named “Neil Komadoski” who is listed as one of our ‘Professional Scouts’. Before the ferry arrived, I saw an older gentleman in the same Canucks official jacket sitting a lone not too far from the rest of the the staff having a drink at a table. I grabbed a drink myself and sat next to him and asked if he worked for the team. He said he was a Pro Scout. Didn’t want to interrogate him about the teams plans for this summer but we talked vaguely for 5 minutes or so. I jokingly asked if we should offersheet Kapanen or Johnsson from the Leafs and he said he’s gonna take Marner And then soon after says - knowing that Marner isn’t attainable - (paraphrasing here) "Why would we take Leafs players we are trying to win in the playoffs"...he was a laid back, funny dude and looked easily in his 60’s. Didn’t really tell me much but as I said, I didn’t seriously ask him anything either. So yea, take that with a grain of salt if you wish to. Panarin has hinted at liking/wanting to play in Vancouver (the latest being that tweet) and I heard those Canucks Scouts today specifically bring up Panarin and wanting him. Cheers I will take that with a dump truck full of salt lmao. 1. Why would Canuck staff together be on a ferry from Victoria? 2. Did you eat a white spot burger? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some nice pieces there, add in Kakko in the draft and then if they get Panarin too, they would be a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noseforthenet Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I like this idea. I really do, but the Canucks HAVE to find a way to lose that Loui Eriksson contract...otherwise good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabychStache Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Rags could add Kakko, Panarin, EK65 this off season and be a killer team. i could see them signing both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucks could be signing both as well. We too have the cap room and also have a couple things Rags don’t have like the finalist for the Calder last year, winner this year and winner next year (Hughes)! Canucks have a brighter future in my opinion. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
