During the bubble play offs, he was the most dynamic player together with Bo (obviously besides Demmer)... I want size in the team, but if that isn't feasible cap wise, I'd be happy to bring him back on a cheap deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Moose Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I'd be pretty happy with Suter out of Detroit. Decent 2-way center that should cost less than 3m per on a multi-year deal. If the rumours of Pearson being good to go for next season, that's the makings of a decent defensive 3rd line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could really screw us over with the cap if his status is up in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Tocchet wanted a centre who could "settle things down" and good on F/O's I think we should keep that in mind. Ryan Reeves is an UFA Edited June 25, 2023 by Fred65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNucks Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 On 6/21/2023 at 5:28 PM, Hairy Kneel said: That's the dichotomy, we want 25 goals from Hogs and Podz. Then expect it. Then they are crucified when they fall short. A lot of people want to gift Rathbone a spot, but he has trouble with the physical game. But these kids have to prove they have the professional composure, street smarts, and talent to grab a spot and hold it. Podz had 14 goals then fell off the map. It's a matter of baby steps for these young guys. You hit the nail on the head. We dont need a "new" 3rd line center, we need someone from AHL to step up. Really same with defense. I dont think we should explore the FA Market till we have let the yeast ferment. CAP space? no, its room to pay our best players or lose them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody0491 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I'd love to see us trade for C with well above 50% faceoffs and right handed. Out of New Jersey. Micheal McLeod. With their Center depth. This guy is only 24 or 25 years old. Over 60% in the dot last year. Would be a perfect 3C with upside to take over for JT when he gets old. See what we can get for Garland add barbashev. I think we will be okay. Draft our player this year "defense hopefully" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sxqhfeh Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 A 3C, top 4 LHD & RHD, Myers gone & 1 more depth RHD, That's a pretty tall order for one season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind seeing stop gaps in one or two of those positions if the right players aren’t available. Edited June 26, 2023 by DeNiro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody0491 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 What about Nicolas Roy out of Vegas? 6'4 Right handed Center. With good cap and term. 26 years old. Vegas needs cap space... can we make something happen there? Or in my other post, Micheal McLeod out of New Jersey. Why is nobody saying anything about these guys?

If Roy has a good cap hit and Vegas needs cap space, why would they deal him? I honestly don't know anything about player so I won't comment on whether we should target him.

I think most agree with you on those targets. Main issue is they are likely highly sought after pieces by a lot of teams and the teams they are currently on probably really want to keep them (even if it won't be possible in the end due to cap). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckwings Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I would like to see this management get better at discovering players with potential before they have career performance. Agree with those who said no to Barbashev. We would have to overpay him at max term to keep the AVV low. Signing a bottom 6 forward to a big contract would be another Benning-like mistake. With the cap going up only 1M next season, I would prefer Canucks try to sign players to a one yr contract at higher AVV. I'm not confident we'll be able to address all of our needs this off-season, and maybe that's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem being we're planning to compete now. Waiting for kids to develop in to those roles isn't the answer to that question. We very much need stop gaps for our kids (hence the short term deals for guys like Blueger and Soucy/Cole on D). For now, Aman could play W and slide to the middle with injuries etc. I'd happily see us sign/trade for another C this summer (Suter being the best fit of the remaining UFA's IMO).
