coryberg Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Little worried DJ might play himself into a pricy contract next season. His size, speed, sandpaper and skill are a hot commodity in the NHL. Look what Jeannot just went for. I'm hoping PA can get ahead of the game and get him inked to an extension this summer. I would be fine with a 2 or 3 year 1.5 mil per deal for him. I'm sure Tocchet would push for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I think he should try playing C. His face-off percentages are pretty solid. Also, I checked a lot of the main stat sites and he's still listed as a C. I'll add W as another position he plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKnight Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Pettersson, Bear, Aman and Joshua should be priority signings this offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed--though with Bear and Joshua, there could be a trap of signing for too much money, so caution should be taken not to give too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a fair deal--I'm just worried he'll ask for about $2.5M or something, which could get costly, especially if this year turns out to be a flash in the pan.

If anything Joshua's camp should be grateful Canucks took a chance on him and value him in high regard. 2.5 is a big overpayment. But 3 year secured term, with a nice pay bump to 1.5 or 1.75. Personally I feel that's fair for both sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contract 3yrs X 1.8 million AAV--- Canucks need to find more players like Joshua.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Joshua could center the 4th line. Alvin should sign Reaves and Lucic as his wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His points were excellent last season for his role. His small-sample-size faceoff % is very respectable (as has been pointed out prior). He's big and fast and the coach thinks he could be much better than he's been. We keep talking about having too many wingers - and we do. What if Joshua played between Beauvilleur and Garland (all of a sudden the 3rd line isn't so terribly overpaid cause they're paying peanuts to the 3C). That would be a spicy line that could actually do some damage on the scoreboard. Kuzmenko Pettersson Podkolzin (I've said elsewhere why I think Podz would work well here, just cause he can dig for the other's scoring) Mikheyev Miller Boeser (again Mikheyev's speed and digging/forecheck for the benefit of the other two) Beauvilleur Joshua Garland (speed, tenacity, finish - this could be a legitimately excellent line) Aman Bleuger DiGuiseppe Edited July 10, 2023 by Putgolzin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
