JM_ Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Damn. We couldn't have got him for quite that low due to taxes, but damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno but it feels like there’s lots of unsigned guys of his level still available. I think we end up signing Rodrigues on the cheap.

I'll take Rodrigues and Motte for cheap, send out one higher priced forward and our forward depth will still be off the charts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) We could have signed him for double that and it would be a good deal. He would be insulation in case Dickenson doesn't bounce back and give us another solid PKer who can also pot in a few. There are always useful vets at this time a few days into free agency that start getting worried they won't end up with a chair when the music stops.

I mean at that price he probably could have chosen anywhere. Probably wanted to go to a contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I agree with this. A little surprised they cheaped out and gave him less in the AHL and he stilled signed, but w.e. Janmark or Rodrigues would be great vet additions who can play bottom-6 C if they end up having to wait it out a bit longer on the market, or if the Canucks clear a winger contract. 1.7-1.9 for either on a 2-3 year deal would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coryberg Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Wow... not only league min but he couldn't even swinga 1 way deal. Times are tough for that boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 This also tells me it is going to be near impossible to shed cap. Tierney is a solid 3rd line player and signed for peanuts. Marino is a legit top 4D on a decent cap hit and he got traded for almost nothing. On the other side in that environment, if we were willing to retain 50% on Miller he should be worth a crazy return. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, this is not an easy summer for cap space, figured so since the Pacioretty dump. Gonna be some decent players who take less if they wanna play on a playoff team for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other side in that environment, if we were willing to retain 50% on Miller he should be worth a crazy return. All the more reason to bury Dickinson in the minors so the Canucks can get about $1.5M cap relief for the next couple of seasons. On Miller - gonna be a bonanza for him at the TDL with 50% cap retention. Whether or not the Canucks are in the playoff hunt, Miller will have to be moved at the TDL if he hasn't signed an extension by that time (apologies for stating the obvious). Chris Tierney at $1.0M one way cap hit would have been a great deal for the Canucks and allowed them to be competitive with the Panthers' deal, but I'd rather have a RHC Lazar at that cap hit.

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Really wanted him and that's a steal, he's been good on a bad team for a long time and had an off year, but is a big strong defensively sound 3C who could have taken defending responsibilities away from Bo.

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Tierney is going to put up 40 points on Florida's 3rd line and be the best bargain in the league... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
