Lorsque votre équipe fera autant de bruit que les Canucks de Vancouver cette saison, les vautours commenceront à tourner en rond. Les équipes de la ligue sont conscientes que les Canucks sont serrés au plafond et lorgnent sur leurs agents libres. Dakota Joshua est l’un de ces agents libres. Il a un mélange alléchant de vitesse, d’habileté et de physique. Il est le type de joueur qui peut être un facteur X dans une course aux séries éliminatoires, et les prétendants ne manqueront pas pour ses services le 1er juillet. Si les Canucks ne peuvent pas le signer, il existe des joueurs sur le marché qu’ils peuvent considérer comme remplaçants, ainsi que des options internes. Dans cette vidéo, je passe en revue ces options ! Comme toujours, si vous avez apprécié cette vidéo, n’hésitez pas à liker, commenter et vous abonner !

I will take Joshua over Petey
I think the playoffs exposed many of the Canucks as being not built for today's fast, north-south NHL. Dakota is one of them. I like his work ethic, but he doesn't have the effective speed needed in today's NHL because of his lack of puck moving, puck handling ability (and overall, he isn't really that fast). What disapointed me about Joshua in the playoffs was his poor play along the boards (all of the Canucks except for Garland was poor in this department actually).
The Canucks need a major re-work. This year's playoffs reminded me of the 2003 playoffs when the super fast Minnesota Wild exposed the slow pace of the Canucks, then we retooled for the next 8 years to make ourselves faster (not just in skating, but in puck movement and transition).
I expect that same retooling to happen starting this offseason as well.
3.5 mill??? I pay that all day.
Of course negotiate, but if push comes to shove, I’m 1000% percent fine with paying that price
This is what I was afraid of. All these players on team friendly deals now they all want more then what their worth.
Your on a winning team in a great city think reasonably
I have a lot of faith in this management group after the way they filled out this roster last year with just $11 million in cap space. This year they will have $20 million or so with Soucy and Suter still under contract. They seem to have the skills to find what they need. They won't overpay like Jim Benning who's "wheeling and dealing" trashed the team's future.
As a canucks and penguins fan, i would love to see the pens dump some cheap talent to vancouver so the pens can finally start their rebuild lol
Obviously, paying a 3rd liner, no matter how good they are, north of 3 million dollars per unless they're an elite, Selke type of centre like Lindholm is ridiculous. But if people want to underestimate Joshua's value to the team because he's not fast (like a certain 40 goal scorer), they're welcome to that opinion. Clearly, the cap is a big obstacle and you can't pay a 3rd line player big money like Jim Benning did. But if they can settle on 3 million or lower on a short term deal, unless they think they can find another diamond in the rough, I think that makes sense. He was playing like a $3-4 million player this year and came up clutch for the team on numerous occasions. That line with Joshua and Garland (and either Bluegar or Lindholm) was the Canucks' best and most effective line on most nights. That can't be underestimated. But again, you don't want to overpay either, so if they can find another guy who is ready for a breakout like him, that may make some sense.
Joshua should go out and get as much as he can. He had a career year and deserves every cent. Careers are short, especially for fighters and bangers in the NHL. Tbh, Lindholm/Blueger, Garland, Joshua were the Canucks real 2nd line. Josh played PP2 and penalty killed effectively, not to mention being a NHL hits leader. Only player with more hits/goals were Brady Tkachuk and Evander Kane.
Chemistry is also a big factor. If we make too many changes, we could end up with a group that doesn't mix. The more the Canucks shift, the higher the risk of a dud season.
Dump Mikhyev and give him what he wants.
Paying anything over 2 million for joshua and we’re getting hosed. He’s a great, physical player with hands of stone. He is absolutely replaceable.
This always happens with deep teams after a good playoff run, or when your budget players play beyond their pay grade. We're lucky we didnt win the cup or we'd lose half the team.
They will negotiate he’s a force Canucks need along with big “Z”
If Joshua doesn’t sign I’d sell high on Garland! I wanna see a major shake up!
You can't lose Joshua! Him & Garland will be like McDavid & Draisaitl one day but better.
Power forwards are scarce in free agency this year and Joshua is showing the potential to fill top-6 roles and become a force on special teams with his speed, size and creativity. This is simply an overpay that you have to make if you want to keep your team strategically diverse and tough to play against, especially with the chance that Brock is out long-term.
Give Joshua what he wants. He the one of players that brought the Canucks to the playoffs 2024
He had great season, Garland can make anyone better.
Pay the man.
Sigh. I feel like we are going to be regressing this off season.
Such a useful player!
Too 6 easy
Are the Nux about to lose half its players? Oh well, time to rebuild. 😅
Do not let Joshua go! For the love of god Vancouver do not F this up.
I can’t see Dakota leaving tbh. I get the sense he enjoys Vancouver and wants to stay. I trust the management more than i ever have and I think they know they need him. I’d say he’s priority 1 or 2 on the resign list.
I vote POD!
nucks need to get bigger and grittier, let the talent shine. Blueline is pretty bad after Hughes.
Consider to trade Petterson and use the money to sign Joshua, big Z, and 1 or 2 top 6 forward !!!
Low twos??? Come on I think the way the team struggled with him out is evidence that he is at least worth 3.5. Come on Vancouver step up.
go canucks go …..golfing …..fore !
No way we are looking at anyone other then Josh
This is absurd! Cal Clutterbuck was signed to 5 years and $3.5 million a season. Cals career best was a high of 8 goals and 23 points in those 5 years. Of course, Cal led the league in hits. Joshua will lead the league in hits if he stays healthy. Joshuas career highs in goals and points are 18 goals and 32 points in just 63 games! NEWSFLASH! Joshua should be paid above $3.5 million a season.
If the canucks wont pay market value, many other teams will!
