Panarin has been looking forward to this payday since he came to the NHL, and I bet he goes to the highest bidder which will like be Florida given no state tax (and at his pay scale that’s an extra million or two in his pocket). We’d have to offer 12 to match 10 in Flordida...could you imagine? We’d McDavid ourselves.... and not have McDavid.

Popular Post Pears Posted February 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2019 This is really not super impossible as some people are trying to say it is. Canucks are a good young team on the rise, Vancouver is a great city to live in, we’ll be contenders for most of whatever contract Panarin signs, and he’d be playing with two elite young all stars. And we can give him what he wants even after signing our own guys. How many teams can offer that? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, not everyone thinks the Canadian way like we do.

No surprise that Panarin would have some interest in Vancouver... But I'm thinking he has more interest for other teams in the US tho. 100%.

Really, why box ourselves in if the market goes that high. Get a second tier winger for now. A guy that can stay healthy and pot 20g could become a 30g player with EP40. A JVR type player. If the FA market turns insane, get out of the pool! We could get a sweetheart trade as teams commit Cap suicide. Plus we have to already unload a few forwards on cheap contracts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Curse Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I’m from vancouver and I love it here I have spent 28 out of my 34 years of life here. But if I was a hockey star I would spend a few years in Florida - great weather, beautiful scenery. Vancouver would not be in my top few- it’s got spectacular nature, but how many guys in their 20s-early 30s really care about that. Florida New York LA Anaheim chicago are all places I rather play than vancouver and I love this place... now long term term I rather live in vancouver than most of these cities but these guys aren’t picking 1 city for life, just a few years where they get millions of bucks to play Edited February 23, 2019 by Canucks Curse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal is more fun to visit, but for large cities in Canada, Vancouver is tops. Never forget winter. Crime, guns and poverty are a problem in Vancouver, but are dwarfed by almost every US city of comparison. The air is clean, if you have the cash, you can live a pretty sweet lifestyle. I would put it past almost any other NHL city except for NY and the Frisco Bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKnight Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 My ideal offseason with a top 5 pick: 1. Sign Boeser 6-7 year. 7 million per. 2. Draft Byram or Boldy. 3. Trade Sutter, Guddy and try to get rid of Eriksson to a team trying to hit cap floor, since most of his salary has been payed. 4. Sign Panarin or Stone to a 5-6 year deal with 9 million cap hit. 5. Sign T.Myers to a 4-5 year deal with a 5.5 million cap hit. Don't think he will get a raise on his annual salary now. 6. If we pick Byram, I would look at options for packaging Juolevi for either a legit top 6 forward, unless we know Sven is good, but I dont think that will ever happen. My prediction is Subban is going to get traded this offseason, maybe a Juolevi, Tanev ++ would at least peak their interest. He hasn't exactly had a Subban type of year. Probably crazy, but we need to be active this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver has been in the top 5 most beautiful and liveable cities in the WORLD consistently year after year. Florida and NY are beautiful cities but they dont even fall in the Top 10. The reason we dont attract UFAs isnt because our city is not desirable, in fact it is the complete opposite of that. It is because of the travel schedule during the season that players will need to adapt to. Edited February 24, 2019 by HOFsedins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team has never won anything, and only made the finals once in their history. The arena is barely a quarter full and no one gives a $@*% about hockey. That is good reason to avoid Florida IMO.

Canucklehead73 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Yeah for a guy who's only interest is getting the most money possible, not that any of us are any different, and no loyalty to the countries he plays in, it would not be a stretch for Panarin to at least consider Vancouver... We have cap space available and ownership willing to spend to the cap. His agent would be silly to not look into it. Not that I particularly want Panarin around.
