DownUndaCanuck Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Cheaper than he would have gotten on the market but he knows they'll be good, smart move by both parties. Real shame JB didn't get a chance but time to move on, there'll be other opportunities. Larsson was the perfect piece for this Canucks team though. Now Seattle start their draft on the front foot with 1 less top-4 guy to pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction is that this Kraken team will make the playoffs right out of the gate. well what dd you expect for $650 million and Bettmans version of expansion? to think that they wouldn't be good out of the gate would be silly. Larsson left money on the table for sure, they must have made a hell of a pitch. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Wow, way cheaper contract than expected. Edmonton in a world of hurt. Would have liked him a lot at that price, but clearly this was about wanting to be in Seattle and the tax regime there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't going to be making any huge signings this year anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even just training the 9th oa isn't enough, we still need to create cap space if thats in play. But I really hope we keep that pick.
