RWJC Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Per Peter Baugh Rumour/speculation is that Andre Burakovsky is a few rungs lower on GM Sakic’s priority list of FA’s to re-sign. Expectation is that Kadri will walk and Sakic will come back to Burakovsky once all other eligible COL FAs are inked. He’s 27 yrs old, a big body at 6’3 and 201 lbs, and a left shooting W (LW) where we already have surplus. His recent contract carried a cap hit of 4.9mill per and on market he could probably fetch 6mill + on term. its unlikely he does walk, imho, but if he does any thoughts on the Canucks potentially pursuing him, especially if we trade JTM on or before Wednesday? acquiring Burakovsky would render Pearson expendable and arguably create a better fit for the top 6 should Kuz (right shot LW) or others not work out. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=152839 Edited July 10, 2022 by RWJC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Copp's chance to cash in. He's not going to take a 4 year contract on a team that missed the playoffs. We'd need to offer more years or a significantly higher cap hit, or both.

wai_lai416 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 lol we have 0 cap space to do anything.. the cost to cap dump will be even higher if we do anything in the FA to go over the cap and then retroactively try to trade players to dump.

Topcheeze86 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 His agent is gonna go to bat for him after clutching up in the playoffs look for him to get 6-7mill and wait for the complaints after he has multiple 40-50pt seasons at that salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Would rather marchment for less money. but can’t really project forward signings until we know if miller staying or not and what’s coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Nichushkin is the guy you want if signing big money ufa forward. Trade Myers Pearson and Miller. Get some younger cheaper D for Miller and use the 9 mill from Myers Pearson to sign a 3C and another decent Dman. Upgrading D is priority. Kuz is our forward addition this off-season.

timberz21 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Good player but will ask for a contract based on his Colorado production, which has been an offensive juggernaut the past few years. Definitely benefited from playing with good players and I doubt he lives up to his contract. Pass, unless he wants a reasonable deal, but if COL is letting him go it’s because he’s not.

COL can't keep every one from the Cup winning team. They would love to keep him but can't keep them all. 20g 60pts he'll get 5 plus million long term. Kadri Nichushkin Burakovski are ufa Lekhonen (rfa) Nichushkin has to be top priority to re sign for Avs. Top 20 two way player in the league, cant let him go. Lehkonen will get a raise. Kadri will be gone he'll make too much for Avs to be able to keep him. Johnson on D is ufa he'll need to be replaced.. They have Mackinnon and Byram up for new contracts next summer so need to plan for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict Canucks to make 3 or 4 signings on depth players under 2 million..No long contract 1 or 2 years show me more deals..
