brian42 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Canucks should not be interested in any UFAs which costs assets and then cannot re-sign due to cap space. Much like Toffoli although I still think he could have been signed. not a rebuild just a pause until the 2022 offseason. Canucks should trade Pearson get a solid pick or two because I don’t see how they can resign him due to Hughes and Petey and podkolzin can take his roster spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 @lmm that wat was a joke - but I'm still not sure which game, or circumstances you're referring to - I can't even verify if I was trying to give you a beer but you wound up with a sad? I know there have been a few shifts that really annoyed me where Hughes was double/triple/quadruple shifting - and not necessarily even on the powerplay (at es for example - the one game where Boeser wound up scoring shorthanded after a Hughes penalty at the end of one of those shifts comes to mind).

There was a second source saying esentially the same thing. Quote According to TSN the giant defender has his agent in communication with the Canucks GM about a return to the Pacific West Coast. Tryamkin likes what he sees going on in Vancouver with the very skilled and talented young core and it’s the perfect opportunity to play for a team that’s cup window is just beginning to open.

His agent was also pretty sour about how the Canucks treated TreeBeard this last year. He’s an RFA this year and will be a UFA next season. There are many teams that could offer him more than the $2m he was looking for with the Nucks. If he agrees to a contract, great. Hold your breath. If I was his agent I’d string Vancouver along like they did to him. The Nucks aren’t making the playoffs this year, so I expect TreeBeard to become a UFA and sign for top dollar elsewhere. If he doesn’t get more then his agent is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I'm not sure if Montour interests me a whole lot. The Canucks need more of a modern day 'stay at home' type guy. A legitimate Tanev replacement that could possibly even be an Edler/Tanev hybrid replacement if said dman is capable of playing on a top pairing. Guys like Adam Larsson, Hampus Lindholm, and Erik Cernak interest me a lot more. Larsson can be had as a UFA at season's end, and won't break the bank like a Dougie Hamilton might. After July 1st, you could trade for and sign Lindholm (using the Montour logic from above). Tampa is also looking to clear cap space and so using our 2021 1st lottery for Cernak might be of mutual interest to both teams (i.e. Tampa reduces cap space + gets a potential game changer, while the Canucks get a solid young asset that fills a huge organizational need even if his ceiling is significantly lower than a lottery pick). Tampa is not looking to move Cernak. Brisebois made it perfectly clear that he’s one of the players they need if they want to win another Cup. McKenzie has him on their untouchable list. Tampa’s window is open now and getting a pick does nothing for them when they need a solid D-corps. If they move the top guys the team becomes less competitive making it harder to win a Cup and limits their window. The Canucks are also looking to clear cap space but like Tampa, they are likely not looking to move their key players but players lower in the lineup.

He turns 27 only in August but next season would have already started (1 July) so he remains Canucks property till the end of 2021/22. Don’t see why it would be any different from any other RFA.

It will likely be hard for Buffalo to get any value on this deal, so I'd expect them to be open to that kind of move. You mean what they did with Tiffoli?

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 There's going to be a lot of teams I'm sure JB will be able to profit on and Buffalo is one of them. Ristolainen is of course the best of the bunch, he's playing big minutes this season and having a great season finally, would be lovely to slot him in alongside Juolevi. Not sure what they'd want back, probably a scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning might be on the phone with Julien Its a head shaker, but we are now in the position that Ottawa can catch us in wins. Our roster is just not that $&!#ty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 We need righties. Especially if Greener refuses to play Chatfield. Vegas moved away from a 5 left handed D blueline for a reason. I only do it if we can negotiate an extension first. Unless we get him for a 3rd rounder like we did with Schmidt. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong. His contract had an option for an extra year but he wanted to negotiate a new deal and was looking for 5 years. McLellan didn’t want to give him the term so he resigned and signed with NYI instead. Sounded like the term was the bigger issue than the salary with McLellan explaining that it would bring him to nearly 10 years and coaches hardly last that long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKNuck96 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 On 2/23/2021 at 11:48 PM, DarkIndianRises said: Sounds to me like you're describing Erik Cernak. To a lesser extent, a returning Nikita Tryamkin could be that guy. While a guy like Hampus Lindholm isn't aggressive per say, he'd be a good 'ying to the yang' of the offensive minded Nate Schmidt. Lindholm is a top pairing calibre guy that is defensive minded. Yep I know Tryamkin isn’t Cernak but I think with his big wingspan and being a defensive/stay at home Dman he will be serviceable as Hughes partner and will also stop people taking as many liberties with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
