IBatch Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 And as per the OP, in what world is 8-9 million per season reasonable for EP and QHs? Even without flat cap for five of those years that's expensive even for 8 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzipunch Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Just now, IBatch said: He should have taken it and run (Denault) Yeah no thanks on denault for me. I would like getzlaf on a 1 yr deal for 2.5-3 if we can get a fast scoring winger to join him like brandon saad. I think he has some scoring left in him if hes playing with good wingers unlike what hes had in anaheim this season. Saad-getz-podz might be a very fine 3rd line. Then with cash opening up next season get a younger 3C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes isn't eligible for offer sheet at all, his negotiating room is a little more limited, I would say 5.5 million for Hughes and 6.5 million for Pettersson for 2 or 3 years each. 12 million...ish total.

ShawnAntoski Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 1 hour ago, Quantum said: Based on Jim Benning's passive comments about Edler. I have a feeling management is looking to move on from him. Edler's a legendary Canuck who will be on the Ring of Honour. That said, he's slowed down quite a bit and that slowdown showed up with the amount of reckless penalties he took this season. The good news is that he can stay in the Pacific Northwest and sign a contract with Seattle. It's only a couple of hour drive down from Vancouver so he can stay pretty close to Vancouver if he wants too. And yeah, everyone who wants to re-sign Sutter needs to remember that they are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and there's better options out there. He's slow, he doesn't produce ANY offense as a C, and he's a good but not great defender. With Beagle still under contract, Sutter is redundant. Especially if Benning is serious about creating 3 scoring lines. SAY NO TO SUTTER. I think Haula could be an interesting 3C though he's not that offensively gifted and isn't a good playmaker. My gut says the Canucks should target Emil Pettersson as a potential 3C. He's been buried on good teams and just had an excellent season in the SHL. He's contributed well offensively everywhere he's been (SHL and AHL), just needs a chance. And he'll be cheap. He's also a UFA this summer as his rights lapse with the Coyotes in July. Great points - hopefully Green will roll four, despite the talent but three rather than the usual two can only benefit the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are players on other teams who will be offered with draft picks, to move salary out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunjabiCanucks Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Joel Eriksson Ek - $1.5 M approx - $1,439,821 – $2,181,545: 2021 third round pick. Andrew Copp - $2.28M - $2,181,546 – $4,363,095: 2021 second round pick. Tyler Bertuzzi - $3.5 M $2,181,546 – $4,363,095: 2021 second round pick. Go sign these 3 guys as they are RFA- the price to pay in draft picks is worth it imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzipunch Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) I agree to bring a bertuzzi back to the team. We have some unfinished business…. Edited May 25, 2021 by Bertuzzipunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Know this management group likes their local boys, see Virtanen, but sure hope they don't throw Nuge an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Haula for 3C, Sheahan/ Paquette for #4 and then McGinn to replace Roussel (either buried/ bought out) would be sweet. Wouldn't mind bringing Graovac back either. (I'm not sure of what we have in either MacEwen or Lind so I'd include them in the extra forwards/ Abbotsford team - unless Seattle takes one of them, or they could play their way into the lineup) McGinn - Haula - Podkolzin (all round, grinding 3rd line that gets some goals, plus all 3 can make plays) Motte - Sheahan/ Paquette - Highmore (speedy, chippy, somewhat offensive and responsible 4th line) //Hawryluk, Graovac, MacEwen, Lind Edited May 25, 2021 by Phil_314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canuck #12 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 How about Bonino back as our #3C? Can't see him getting anywhere near the $4 mill+ that he somehow extorted out of Minnesota last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
