Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted June 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2021 Imagine Gabriel playing with Petey. Maybe play Nils on RW. Gabriel would love Vancouver. All Swedish players do really. The Sedin twins could convince him to come I’m sure. Maybe that is why they are in management now. To recruit the best available Swedish players in the world and convince them to come to Vancouver. I am sure Colorado will do everything in their power to re-sign him. He is their captain and Colorado drafted him. Colorado is the only team he has ever played for. And Colorado is a Cup contender. So why would he leave all of that to come to Vancouver? To play with me of course. Landeskog Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Podkolzin Hoglander Miller Appleton Highmore Trenin Lockwood 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 It's human nature, we all wanna live high on the hog Landeskog - Highmore - Hoglander Write this on a paper airplane & throw into his agent's office window. GL will go Hog-wild. Prob walk away from Team Walmart, mid-PO's! Seriously, I agree the twins may well act as a FA-draw. They add prestige/respect to the franchise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFA in 2022 but we won’t have the cap space......unless Seattle accepts our 1st + Rathbone + Podkolzin + Eriksson + Beagle + Roussel........for a 7th rounder. After successfully convincing GL’s agent that Joe Sakic was the one who caused Covid 19, GL then signs with your Vancouver Canucks.

Drakrami Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Landeskog would rather play with MacKinnon/Rantanen/Makar, honestly. Going back to topic... Landeskog looks to be quite a captain, very protective of his team. Dont see him leaving COL at all, they even have the cap to re-sign him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 He’s the percent fit with skilled players. He’s defensively responsible, plays multiple forward positions, wins draws, plays physical, creates space and produces at a high level. I don’t think he falls to FA but if he does I could see every team with enough cap space going after him. He’s the type of player you don’t find often. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorvatToBaertschi Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 IF there was any team that could entice him to come play for them, I believe we would be front runners. However, we all know he's staying in Colorado because the team they built around him is absolutely insane and will be for 5-10 years minimum.

Same line? I then had to listen to people talk about how it would be a great line as if we didn't live in reality. Sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
