Offtopic, what would the fan reaction be if we got Patrick Kane
canucklehead200
Sign the everloving F out of P if he’s only looking for « around 12 »! That’s gonna be somewhat of a steal in several years
twilz
I would buy absolutely buy a Canucks Kessel jersey.
grandlinegooner
Imagine going to Costco for the pre-game hot dog and you see Kessel in line wearing his full gear

Kessel = cup
kneejerk_nuck
So greedy. How much money does someone need? Take $7 million per year so that we can spend more in free agency.
iburneddinner
I’m really disappointed they’re not actually going for eleventy billion.

I know he’s not the most popular guy in Van, but I would prefer Patty Kane to Phil Kessel.
If the team could move off of Beauvillier/Garland and replace them with Kane/Kessel for ~$1M it would be a tidy piece of business for Van.
Would also open up the space they need to go after a ~$4M RHD.

12 mill – really?

I’d love to have Kessel just for the memes. Also give Pettersson however much he wants as long as we get 8 years
rajde1
What’s the point of getting kessel? Don’t we have enough wingers. I’m not against it, I just don’t get the point.
julesieee
Our memes/60 will skyrocket if we sign the hotdog man.
Kuzmenko and Kessel interacting and talking about food would be hilarious.
bryant-reeves
We gotta figure out Kuzmenko before spending on another forward. Good news is he produces okay even without top opportunity/ system for him
MikaelDerp
What would be the core reason for pursuing Kessel? Leaderships or veteran presence? He’s 36 so I can only imagine it’d be for a Mat Sundin sort of role for a year or two like when he joined the Canucks.
self_direct_person
what does garland make a year? Is it too much I think he is great player.
AAfreakinRON
Doesn’t he float around on forechecks and backchecks? I feel like he wouldn’t be the best bottom 6, I mean wouldn’t the Knights have just re-signed him if he was?

Kessel 🤢🤮

Anything south of 12.5 if you can get him for term, you should be all over. See if you can move him down to an 11.7 number or thereabouts, but you’ve gotta get term.
The cap has been stagnant and should show a significant increase over the next few years, if you can get him to that number now, it will be equivalent of 9-10 of current cap value in a few years.
kernelcolonel
Throw the bag at Petey. Christ, if we can get him at 8x12m I’ll be ecstatic
WolfOfPort
Offer him 10 and if he wants more that’s just a bad look. Like it shouldn’t always be down to get the most money why not want to play in vancouver and see the Stanley cup chance
elrizzy
Would sign him today for $12M. Done deal. Lets go.
hockhike
That’s a steal for his numbers and also the eye test of him on the ice.
Salary cap is going up and I’d expect anyone of his potentially league leading skill, minus McDavid, are probably going to be going for $14mil+.
$12 mil, obviously a bit lower if we can get it for paying more talent, but if Petey’s holding at 12 for a long term deal is fine with me.
niftynards
Quickly give him that deal. That’s worth it now let alone when the cap goes up. What are you waiting for? Do the thing! Write the papers!
DishwasherFromSurrey
sign that 12×8 today honestly
oldman_stu
7-11’s better have their nacho cheese rdy to go. Forget about hotdogs-anyone keeping up with Phil knows he’s a big time cheese fan
Modsrbiased
If Kessel signs I’ll buy a Kessel canucks jersey immediately. He’s an inspiration in many ways and our memes/game will be off the pdo meme charts
waistbandtucker69
I’d give my left nut for a Kessel flying skate jersey
The_Forsaken_Viola
Give Petey whatever he wants.
Give Kessel nothing

Sign kessel 8×12
mabbz
Sold! No takesies backsies
electricalphil
I figure he wants 4 x 12.
RegisthEgregious
Pay him what he wants.
ToyStrecher
12 is uh fine. But just take 11 and call it a day. Caps not rising THAT fast
IAmWench
Holy fuck I would be so stoked if Phil the Thrill joined the Canucks. All for dumb reasons but man that would be a ride.
rizen27
If Jim Benning was handling this he’d accidentally sign Kessel to a 12m a year deal
LordGlompus
Have the hockey gods read my mind, I had imagined Phil Kessel on the canucks a few weeks ago after the tocchet interview with Scott Oake
Cisco9
I hope Costco can keep up with the higher hotdog demand.
Spinellii11
Pay the man. But will always despise Benning for bridging Petey when we could have had him for cheaper in his down year.
