BCNate Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 14 hours ago, sassbs said: I wonder if toffoli will be more than happy to take a pay cut and remain a Canuck. Living in a beautiful city + weather, having one of those dynamic up and coming teams in the nhl, plus even if he plays on the second line he will be with horvat. If not he will be with petey. 2 of the most exciting centres to play with. this team has so much potential, I hope Tyler sees all this and decides to stay!! I don't feel Toffoli produced enough to have earned his last deal, let alone put him in line for a significant pay raise. 4.6 on a winger who put up 47, 34 and 44 points over isn't good enough to warrant a long term high dollar deal. I could see him sign on for a 2 yr 4.5 to 5 deal. 2 years of solid production with EP would line him up for a bigger deal once the cap freeze is over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I am starting to sour on the idea of Toffoli. It has nothing to do with his play, but more about league economics. There are a lot of teams who will be trying to shed salary. That will include good players. Wingers will be way more expendable than defence or centres. We don’t need to get into a bidding war for Toffoli and get locked into significant term when you can get a relatively comparable cap casualty player for less term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy I would target is Killorn. Tampa are in cap hell next season, and he’s the only veteran without a full NTC. Playoff warrior, and very manageable 3 x 4.45M left on his contract. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Johnsson is interesting. There’s probably a number of them, but too busy to deep dive now. For real cheap... I could also see Washington pretty much giving away Panik and/or Hagelin... perhaps even paying a team to take one.

I think Killorn would be a great addition - I see Tampa first asking Tyler Johnson to waive his NTC though. He's barely playing top-9 minutes even with Stammer out and has a 5M cap hit. But if he wouldn't waive a move for Killorn would be solid. Saying that, I think with Miller + Pearson on the LW side, it might be better to pursue a cap casualty who has the ability to play RW. Another possible cap casualty is Bozak. He can play RW or C, which might be good in terms of having pathways of success for younger players to take up top-9 spots. Dhaliwal tweeted last time Bozak was a FA that Benning was interested in him. He only has 1 year left on his contract so he wouldn't tie up the Canucks when they try to sign Petey & Hughes. Also hoping Benning tries to buy low for Mikael Granlund - I think he's the ideal offensive creating RWer with very very strong 2-way capabilities that would fit perfectly with Horvat. He's coming off a bad season (w/ a strong finish). He could also give life to the 2nd PP unit. Killorn - Horvat - Granlund would be also be dreamy 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To replace someone you have to have equal or better value and we do not have anyone that can take his role. He pushed hard and according to Benning played injured.

Nucker 67 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Good video, sounds like Toffoli loves it in VAN and wants to stay, and I'm sure Pearson would love that too. Toffoli made $4.6/an, and I figure he will want at least $5 with some term. As much as he loves it here, he still wants to be paid and mentioned having that security. So curious what Benning is going to do, and there is a lot that needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we re-sign TT then Nucks have to give up a 4th round pick in 2022 as compensation. Trade keeps getting worse and worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
