(Is Burroughs the only RD there?) Do we need to bring back Schenn? Myers will need to get waived if he doesnt lift waive his ntc. Canucks will probably say we are waiving you Sept 15th after your bonus is paid and most likely it'll be a team like Phx or Columbus claiming you. You can either sit and worry all summer or accept this trade in June and have your family settled by end of summer in the new city. d signed for next year Hughes. Myers OEL. Mcward Wolanin. Hronek Rathbone Poolman Brisebois Burroughs & Keeper are UFA Bear, Dermott, Hirose, Woo, Juulsen are RFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Andy Carroll and I am sure one or two other younger AHL guys will stick around as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Didn’t even clue in that Akito has a brother in the NHL. Ive heard of Taro but for some reason didn’t make the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we can have a Johansson - Johansson pairing and two Hirose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to think that because we suddenly have a lot of Russians on the team we'd suddenly attract every single Russian out there. Also, could Myers even be waived if he has a NTC? I haven't looked up his contract, but it might be worth looking up in case he can't even be waived. Doesn't Gavrikov shoot L like Hughes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 What the hell? We signed Hirose to a two-month contract and have to re-sign him again this summer? Why the hell would we give one-year deals to college prospects? So we actually need to allocate cap space for him. He is going to fetch at least $1.0M. Or are there signing restrictions?

N4ZZY Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Young man's looked very good so far in the games he's played. I think he's a keeper. Where does he slot in? Second pairing with Hronek? Hughes - Bear Hirose - Hronek ______ - McWard? Burroughs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pass up the middle last night was a beaut! Bear isn't a top 4 d-man IMHO. He can play there for injury coverage but not in playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be our second pairing next season. We must buyout OEL and use part off that cap savings to sign a UFA to partner with Hughes. Heck, make a trade and get Tanev back! Hughes, UFA/Tanev Hirose, Hronek Wilanin, Myers Buroughs. Woo or Boner for Tanev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo or Boner for Tanev. I like your line up Alf except for Tanev. Last year was the first in his career where he played 82 games. This year he has reverted to his norm at 65. At 33 years old this will only get worse. We need a RD who can develop with the team towards serious contention in 2 years, that isn't Tanev or Bear or Schenn. You wanted to flip Woo to get Tanev. I would play Woo with Hughes before that. I think camp in the fall will find a partner for Hughes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophomore Jinx Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 What does Akito Hirose’s readiness mean for the future of the Canucks’ blueline? (msn.com) Good read about AH from Canucks Army. It's encouraging that we acquired a talent like this, while beating out many other teams that were interested. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo or Boner for Tanev. Drop the buying out OEL. It would be terrible for our cap long term. The same way trading for him was good short term cap wise but terrible long term. You are proposing us sacrificing cap space in our hopefully cup contending window years for non contending years. Worse, you then propose getting someone like tanev to continue eating up the cap space saved, while keeping Myers. Myers at 50% retained is the easiest and most palatable way to save cap space to fill out the roster, along with Garland moved out and Pearson on LTIR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Hirose has been a very good find for our group as he brings good skating, strong hockey IQ, and he has some swagger which is also a good thing as it shows the confidence he has to play at this level. I agree that he may very well find himself at the NHL level next year from what he has shown and a pairing with Hronek may be a really nice fit. He adds to Hughes, Hronek and even OEL from a puck moving and possession perspective, so we may need to complement that with some snarl. If we remove Gavrikov from the equation since he is likely to be overpaid (He still may be a good option based on our needs) and go with some lower cost options in Tryamkin (To play RD mostly) and Schenn we add some protection to the primary puck movers. I would be pretty happy with the following lineup (Including moving out Myers) to start the year with a lot of depth in Abbotsford as we deal with injuries:Hughes Tryamkin Hirose Hronek OEL Schenn Gives us pretty good balance overall and a lot of speed from the backend with the exception of Schenn. If Tryamkin or Hirose don't meet expectations, then we have OEL, Schenn and other depth D (McWard, Juulsen, Brisebois, Burroughs, Wolanin, Woo etc) that can move up the lineup as needed. Gives us some lower cost contracts to balance out OEL with Petey 2.0 ready to take over from him (OEL) once his contract expires or is movable in 3-4 years.
