It's a bad management tax... A bad management tax. Love it. Man. The Luongo Clause. Seriously lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t likely to be top of the lineup players for a while yet. Canucks expectations have changed on young players because we were blessed with Petey,Hughes and Boeser. But most young players don’t coming flying into the top lines like these boys did. Hope we can have a little patience with Hogz and Podz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did go against some pretty beefy playoff guys and held his own. He had a couple of glimpses of stardom against St-Louis. Some take longer to figure it out. And playing with Pearson and Horvat isn’t too shabby either. We all know Horvat is landing a Cup in Vancouver. He’s London OHL. He’s Royalty. Just right winging Horvat should be enough for Virtanen to improve. Edited October 10, 2020 by Me_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70seven Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) We played the majority of last season without Toffoli... and made the playoffs. We played the majority of playoffs without Toffoli... and played through injury... we got to second round game 7... as good as a fit as he looked, we can live without TT. Find someone cheaper on shorter term. Or make a hockey trade using Virtanen alla Domi deal to find another winger. Use cap space to lure whatever defensive upgrades we can find.

I agree, Defense is where we lack more than anything. He is a luxury we cannot afford at this time, and the playoffs exposed, how we could not get out of our own end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 TT is good defensively, he can score a point a game playing with EP, and he can be signed for $5M or under....JB should sign TT, since it looks like he is rolling the dice on the prospect dmen to take the vacant spots on D. A forward who plays a good defensive game and can score will help the "D" a lot...TT fits this need. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the good thing is no team has swooped in and offered him a big contract from the looks of it. Might mean his market value is bringing him back to reality and we can get him around 4-4.5 which is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracksuit Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Well we have done cap now that we know none of are ufas are coming back. Id still like to see toff back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 We have cap space if we wanted to sign Toffoli...but we need to address the top 4 RHD hole first. I am for a TB trade to get Johnson, ideally with 1m retained AND Cernak for fairly cheap. Then put Johnson with Bo and sign Cernak to a Rasmus Anderson type contract? Bet on him being a solid top 4 for a handful of years with just over a 4m cap hit. If we have to make a trade to move Sutter or Roussel to make cap work so be it imo.

Kobayashi Maru Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 If there is any way to get Tryamkin out of his contract early and sign him to a 4 year 2.5 per deal it would leave a lot of money for an elite player like Hall who has said he would take a shorter term deal and maybe less money to not play for a dumpster fire team. Hall Pettersson Boeser Miller Horvat Virtanen Pearson Gaudette MacEwen Leivo Beagle Motte Hughes Myers Edler Tryamkin Joulevi Rafferty Move Roussel, Sutter along for futures or thereabouts. There are still a lot of options out there for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BertaNuck Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Our window is open and we need to make improvements to bottom six and defence to make the next step and we lost: markstrom tanev stetcher most likely tofolli and replaced all of them with holtby??? we didn’t buy anyone out, we didn’t move salary to sign players to fill those spots. there not much left in FA If your top six is Miller petey Boeser eriksson Horvat virtanen then we’re in trouble, not to mention the holes now on defence. JB is down to trades and it’s going to cost 1rst and 2nd round picks for the next few years to package salary and get a roster player back Edited October 10, 2020 by Filthy McNasty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB is down to trades and it’s going to cost 1rst and 2nd round picks for the next few years to package salary and get a roster player back Markstroms contract would have handcuffed the team down the line especially with the expansion draft coming up and he was never gonna get that money and term here. In order to improve you can’t just resign the same players every year and hope they do better than the last season, we need a top 4 D now and benning will address that, stetcher isn’t a huge loss and either one of the rookies or a FA could easily replace him. I think we’ll see a trade happen and I hope it doesn’t cost a 1st, benning hated not having one this year so I don’t think he’ll trade another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
