Not worth it. Trade them after sitting them out the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No GM will trade a franchise RFA who is unsigned to Buffalo. Think about it. What return would you get for a candidate who will hold out rather than report? However, I get your sentiment. You are not wrong on that count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks will never win anything signing those contracts. I really hope that's not what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then we move them for players that don't destroy our cap. Neither player is worth that long term, let alone short term.

24K PureCool Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I say threaten to let them sit for the rest of their rfa years if they don't sign my opening night. If I were a billionaire owner, I will gladly go through another rebuild than let greedy agents and players have the last laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 At this point 3 year deals make the most sense for everyone involved. Obviously long term deals for both would be best, but that simply isn't reality. Under no circumstance should any deal that takes either player to ufa be on the table. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 3 yr deal for petey and 5 yrs for quinn. if they have 15 mil, it depends on their term. you learn a lot about players at these times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take quinn over darnell nurse or thomas chabot in a heartbeat, and petey over marner for a number of reasons and over matthews too probably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then tell Petey he goes to Arizona if he keeps holding out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather trade Hughes personally; I think the combination of OEL/Rathbone can make up for his offence while offering better play in our own end. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
