[Drance] « C’est une conversation continue avec les UFA », a déclaré Patrik Allvin à propos de l’autre sujet en tête pour les Canucks. « Mais il nous semble clairement que nous ne pourrons pas tous les signer. »

The sad truth 🙁
Don’t think we can afford anybody else aside from Myers at this point. Blueger maybe if he takes term over money.
He said all, not any. Maybe a bit of hope yet for a team friendly deal for one of em
We don’t want them all. We didn’t make it passed the 2nd round. We want some new guys.
“all” definitely more encouraging than “any” of them lol
maybe we’ll get a surprise with someone other than Myers taking way less to stay, seems like they haven’t closed the door on Zadorov yet
If it’s between Zadorov or Joshua now, I’d rather take Joshua for his chemistry with Garland and he’s been with us longer. It’s probably gonna be an overpay for a 4th liner turned 3rd liner but he does deserve to get paid for his amazing season. 🫡
Go for the big fish, re-sign a couple key support players and hope we strike gold elsewhere:
1. Guentzel – $9.1M x 8 years
2. Myers – $2.9M x 3 years
3. Blueger – $2.2M x 2 years
I know we’ve become attached to these players but I think this is the smart decision. A lot of people became reactionary after the playoffs and wanted to keep Zad over Hronek but keeping Hronek was a good decision. I trust PA and Rutherford.
Cough cough lindholm
Sign Zadorov, make that the priority.
Myers, Blueger, Joshua, Guentzle should be the priority.
Losing all of Lindholm, Joshua and Zadorov will hurt. Three of our best playoff performers and three of our toughest players. Need to keep Zadorov even if it’s an overpay, without him this team is way too soft.
Scrap em all.
After Hronek’s contract, and maybe 1 more (Guentzal, if it’s to be believed), team is out of space to be signing contracts that are merely « fair ». Team needs to start swinging for some home runs, « best contract in the league » kind of stuff, either with rookies or buy low candidates.
Silov and Myers should be next in line to sign before July 1st. My guess is 1.25M per /2yr for Silov and 3Mper /2yr for Myers.
Myers, Blueger, Hronek will be the returning players. Bet the house on it.
I hope Guentzel doesn’t come above 9.5M. Should be able to round out the roster with the rest fairly easily
I rather lose UFAs than pay too much to keep them.
