Good, cause we could really use some. Juolevi kinda fizzled and Woo is a bit of a hopeful. Still have hope for Juolevi, but honestly we could use a RD.

Any smart businessman can see that the teams are going to lose money. He won't sign off on long term contracts unless the player is a high impact player like EP, QH, OEL, and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 JB just bringing us down so we can be lifted up again. Let’s see what happens here. I suspect a trade either way I think it’s smart not giving out contracts this year. A little sad losing these players but if it helps become a better team longer in in. Said it before I’d much prefer to have a longer term approach to this I want to be competing for a cup for a decade not a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about JB Benning wanted to re-sign Toffoli, but he probably misread the market interest in some players he was hoping to move and the pandemic hasn't helped. At the TDL he was talking of recouping draft picks and notably the 2nd round pick they gave up in the Toffoli trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dKs89 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 1 minute ago, EmilyM said: But at BEST Holtby is a solid Marky replacement. At BEST Juolevi/Rathbone/Rafferty can replace Stecher. So if we find a Tanev replacement, at BEST, we are back to where we were last year, which is a team that barely made the playoffs. So you can see the future? How the hell do you know “AT BEST” that those young defenseman ceilings are of an easily replaceable third pairing defenseman? Rathbone and Juolevi both certainly have potential to be legitimate top four players at some point. Also, why do you necessarily WANT to bring back the same corps of D that we’re utterly dominated against Vegas? Jesus christ you just can’t win. Bring back the same players who couldn’t cut in the playoffs, and you get criticism. Don’t do it and look to the future with players who have good potential (Rathbone and Juolevi especially) and you also get criticized. Also, it’s not just about next season as you presented in this post. Last I checked the young core of this team is all 25 years of age or younger. A lot of the way this off-season has played out is about the future. The fact is, 18-20m in cap is coming in new contracts next off season and they have to plan around that. The Canucks have plenty of good, young players with high potential who can come in and fulfill the SECONDARY roles on the team that they will need. It’s not the end of the world. The primary pieces of this team are all in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I don’t want to directly place this on Toffoli leaving but it’s hard to see the Canucks not regressing a little bit next year. We’ve seen Toffoli, Markstrom and Tanev leave while teams like Calgary and Edmonton in our division get stronger. At the point Jim Benning better sign some players to 1 year deals so we have some trade deadline capital if we do indeed take a step back this year. Sign Granlund and Gustafsson to 1 year deals and if we’re not in the playoffs we can get some extra picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkSave Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Opportunity knocks for Mr.Virtanen in a top 6 role. Hope he finds a permanent home on the wing with Petey and Miller as Horvat and Boeser had some good chem together in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking on Johnson's cap in exchange for Cernak is a really interesting proposition, both players that'd fill holes in the Canucks roster, since Johnson currently has negative value for TB and greatly diminishes their ask on Cernak.

If we can get either of them on two year deals then we’re likely in better shape but I have to think they will be signed today by someone. We dont need any more forwards. Some posters are talking about Aquilini imposing a lower cap on Benning, but I bet his bigger concern is how much he will be paying players to go to Utica. Sign another forward and Utica will break all records for AHL payroll costs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
