Kobayashi Maru Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 He was a good player and fit nicely but the contract being discussed is definitely a risk. Could open up a spot for Hoglander or a lower priced UFA instead. If we land OEL this is not the end of the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Canucks Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 This is meh. He’s good but the contract he would get might not age well. I’m okay with this decision, if true. We will have more young guys soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sucks, but I just know if Toffoli was signed to a long term contract the same people crying about this now would be the same ones complaining about his contract in five years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Everyone here will now be following Tyler Madden's career with renewed interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I actually have been advocating for letting Toffoli walk this whole time. We have young wingers in Podkolzin, Hoglander and Lind that will be ready to step in soon. No need to tie up cap space in an aging, declining winger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhukini Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I just want to know the rationale for people who will defend this if he signs for close to 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Disappointing, but not all that surprising If they really are lookin to prioritize D it makes sense that we might be a bit thinner up front til Hog and Podz arrive Not sure how I'll feel about it if it ends up being Marky over Tofu though, though I suppose that would depend on Marky's deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain’t over, but bennings bottom 6 spending is costing the Canucks at this point in the rebuild BIG time Meh, we were fine without Toffoli (acquired him to replace what we thought was a season ending injury to Boeser). We did fine without Toffoli for the majority of the playoffs too. In terms of the rebuild, it allows the space for young guys like Hoglander/Podkolzin/Lind/MacEwen/even Virtanen a look in the top 6. I've said this from the start that the focus should be on defense (although I meant keeping Tanev, didn't think we would be in the running for OEL) and goaltending. Toffoli was always going to be a luxury keep if we could afford it and apparently we can't. Not a big deal to our rebuild. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuck1991 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 need to get Tanev and marky deals done now. We were never going to keep all 3, thanks to Loui &^@#ing eriksson, this guy is such a $&!# 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
