I'd want a faster and more physical guy if I'm paying 5 mil. RNH doesn't really fill the holes that we have. I'd rather use 5 mil to upgrade our RD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 We're still missing two top-3 dmen, so that's a bigger necessity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysACanuckFan Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Things went sour alright after RNH basically told the Oilers how he felt about the latest offer, if you could read lips.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 He's not coming to Vancouver. Neither is Barrie. NGH won't get the money he wants from Vancouver. I expect Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will go somewhere Stateside with the hopes of winning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCosmoDuffGordon Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 He won't take a discount. Literally, had a conversation with him years ago and he said he is only playing for Vancouver if the dollars are right. So pass. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 wouldn't it be great if he took a hometown discount to sign here lol. Imagine the reaction from Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Lol we're suggesting to go after this guy for 5m+ when we didn't sign Toffoli for 4.25? That's after seeing him put up 10 pts in 10 games after the trade deadline and seeing he clearly is an impact player??? Compare Nugent Hopkins and Toffoli this year and I can only shake my head. If Benning wanted to go cost conservative, then continue that path. Don't all of a sudden spend more on a lesser player 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends what we’re able to do with buyouts, the expansion draft, and contract terminations. We could have a decent amount of cap. If Benning is true about being aggressive then we need to make a couple big moves like Montreal did last summer. Reinhart Pettersson Boeser Domi Horvat Hoglander Pearson Miller Podkolzin Motte Beagle Lockwood/Lind/Highmore Two big moves and our top 9 is looking amazing. i was pushing for Domi for the 3C job. but i won't spend all my dollars on both Reinhart and Domi. target one of the two (Domi in my case) then adress the dcorp (with Savard, Larsson...) and re-sign Hamonic. this is my roster for 21 22 Miller Pettersson Podkolzin Hoglander Horvat Boeser Pearson Domi Lockwood Motte Beagle Highmore Graovac Hughes Savard Schmidt Myers Rathbone Hamonic Juolevi Demko DiPietro i wish we could explore a Schmidt trade. at almost 6M, i don't think he's done that well. but hey , lets say its a new system on a messed season and give him a last look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I don't want us spending on bottom 6 players anymore. Just get the most cost effective players for the bottom 6, and have them play shut down roles if they have to. Save the money entirely for defense. We struggled A LOT in that area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5nothincanucksohno Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I would have no interest in RNH. Zero. In terms of maximizing their cap space and player value, Miller should remain at center IMHO. Likely better value acquiring two wingers via trade (expansion)/UFA/etc. than overspending on a 3C. Given COVID, likely some one year show me deals will be available again this off season. This way the team has two strong tandums in the top six and a strong checking line. They should go full youth and energy on the fourth line. It also allows Petey to not have to face the top checking line all the time. They need a partner for Hughes so that should be the number one priority. Then they need to focus on adding two wingers via UFA/trade/expansion trade/draft pick/etc. Not an easy task but I think going this route gives them a much deeper team.

I think with Benning and Green sticking around its pretty likely Edler gets re-signed. While our hearts should love the loyalty to him, our heads should not. Edler has slowed considerably. As a 3rd pairing guy on a 1 year deal at 1.5 million, sure why not? At anything more than that, and with the intense likelihood that if he stays he will again be overused by Green for 20 plus minutes per game as our shutdown guy, its just making one of Juolevi or Rathbone bit players. If Benning re-signs Edler before the expansion draft and protects him (or Hamonic for that matter) it is terrible asset management. Benning should be taking advantage of his D protection slots and looking to try to trade for a younger RHD from a team that will lose a good one for nothing. If I was in the GM seat, I would be looking to take advantage of several of those trades, protect the guys you get back, and take the calculated risk of exposing Pearson and Myers. No chance Seattle takes either imo. If they do, you are only losing one and get significant cap to replace them.
