Edit - Just doing some googling, it doesn't seem like we are at high risk of losing someone big. We'll likely lose one of Lind, Gadjovic, or Motte. Still sucks to lose one of those guys, but we're pretty well off compared to most of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm big on Matthew Highmore. He impressed me the most out of all the bottom 6 guys and he actually looked pretty good next to Bo and Pearson on the 2nd line (aka shutdown line). My favourite part of Lind's game were his takeaways. He was very strong defensively in the neutral zone. His last few games he was playing with the third line mates that were suited for the AHL, so not a fair comparison. He is very solid defensively and will get better offensively as he gets more comfortable, he seemed to want to move the puck as soon as he received it, as he gets more comfortable with the speed at the NHL level, he'll get used to when to hold the puck and when to move it.

Pearson Plus two guys, and Hoglander should be exempt, right? So I think that protecting Motte should be a no brainer, with the remaining one spot to be used on either Highmore (my choice), Lind, Gadjovich or MacEwen.

You're right @MattJVD 1. Elias 2. Bo 3. Brock 4. JT Miller 5. Pearson 6. Motte 7. Dickinson Done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely Motte, and maybe Dickinson or Gadjovic? as other the other. I think it's likely, but not a given that Motte is protected.

But it's not likely. Seattle wants to compete. Can't do that while wasting 6 million in cap space on a 4th liner at best. That nice piece isn't going to be a mid round pick or a b level prospect. Better for the Canucks to just bite the bullet and suffer with LE for just more season rather than give up any meaningful assets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said we'd have to add some nice pieces (like say 9th OA and/or a prospect). I also said it's unlikely (for obvious reasons).

HockeyHarry Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Kraken have tons of good Goalies to choose from so odds are we’ll still have Holtby as our backup, so unfortunately Canucks probably won’t get Cap relief from Holtby going. i think its Lind or Mac are whos going. Big Gad is too much of a work in progress imo. Kraken can take whoever they want and im fine with it. But if they take Mac i’ll be alittle ticked off.

If Seattle doesn’t take him then they’ll look at trade options. Apparently as many as 8 teams were interested. May take some retention to get it done. But if that’s not possible then they’ll buy him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
