Russ Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 My guess would be Edler 1 @ 3 mill and Hamonic 2 @ 2.5 per. I am not opposed to signing both at decent prices but I still think no one should get signed until Petey and Hughes are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 1.5 for Edler and 2.5 for Hamonic would be ideal. I think a whole season and a proper training camp for Hamonic will do wonders for Quinn. The first 20 games for Quinn was brutal. He was trying to do too much and lost his focus on his strengths. JB needs to bring in a RH depth Dman to rotate with OJ and Rathbone or hope Woo takes a big step and contend for the 7-8 spot. Or dangle Hogs and Lind for that elusive Rh Dman.

PhillipBlunt Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I guess to Benning's defense, both Hamonic and Edler are essentially free agents, so when he said they'd consider all avenues including free agency, he was being truthful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to let you know in case your paperwork is not up to date. With love always, Petey Oleksiak is going to be overpaid. Bet on it. He is coveted. We can’t afford it right now barring major changes. I’d love to have him on the team but ppl should also remember…he’s slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hughes Hamonic Edler Myers Juolevi Rathbone Where do we improve exactly? I think I’d rather take the 5 million for those two and sign a better partner for Hughes. This also makes me worried Benning is gonna throw Juolevi and Rathbone into a deal.

Exactly. It’s not as easy as people make it to be. Sure there’s guys that I want to see in a Canucks uni but you can’t force them to sign with the club and if that’s the route your taking prepare to overpay. I’m sure there more suitors then a few years ago but there are many variables. Not offering these guys contracts would be a mistake. We don’t know what they were offered. They may take it or leave it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw what happened last year when two key members of the team were allowed to walk and were replaced by “misfits”. You need some stability during a transition. That’s what Edler will be getting paid for this season if he comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Coconuts said: The other thing is, Hamonic's on record in saying that he wants to be here. We already knew Edler wants to be here. Are we going to find two UFA's who want to be here who'd be more flexible on price and term than Edler and Hamonic? Unlikely. Especially Edler, but Hamonic too given he's spent at least a year with the organization now. There's also no guarantee that we'd get who we want from the UFA market, there are going to be 31 other teams out there considering the same players we would be. It's not as simple as "let these two guys walk and grab x and y". Although Hamonic has stated that he wants to be here he has advised his agent to open up the talks to all NHL teams. So that tells me that they are looking for the best deal. He won’t come cheap. Edited July 13, 2021 by Elias Pettersson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Happy with bringing back these guys for a good price and upgrading once our bad contracts expire. Patience is a good thing. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt is most likely gone before the season starts. How much of an increase do you think Oleksiak will see as a free agent? He's presently making $2.1M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D will improve over this season and next. It’s inevitable based on last years performance. Give Shaw some time to figure out what he has and what we need and then JB will hopefully pursue with a measure of control and success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I can't see Edler's absence (in the event that he isn't re-signed) having the same effect as the absence of Markstrom, Tanev, and Stecher. That's me though.
