Il dit que la bonne nouvelle pour les Canucks est que Zadorov et Joshua sont prêts à attendre, qu’ils n’ont pas annoncé qu’ils allaient sur le marché et qu’ils auraient facilement pu le faire maintenant.
Les deux joueurs veulent revenir. Les deux agents sont prêts à être patients et ouverts d’esprit.

Even if we can’t sign these guys, the fact that they’re willing to get creative to stay is something I couldn’t have imagined for this team any other time in the last ten years.
Feels good to be a destination again.
FWIW, a year ago Dhali was mentioning Cole, Soucy and Blueger for weeks before free agency as potential targets and nailed all 3 signings.
Other things he mentioned on H&B:
– There will be a strong market for Joshua, he can get over 3M. He thinks his hometown Red Wings are preparing an offer.
– Dhali mentions the MacIntyre article in which Rutherford said they’ve made their offers and they’re waiting, which means the offers from the Canucks are not going to get better.
– On Chris Tanev: will be hard to get him, his price could be 4 years at over 5M. He was laughing with his agent about Hughes posting the picture with Tanev on his Instagram. Says Hughes and others in the Canucks dressing room asked mgmt to acquire Tanev at the deadline and Tanev was hoping to get traded there, he still has a soft spot for the team and never wanted to leave.
– Dallas is still trying to sign Tanev, Senators are trying to acquire Brandon Tanev from Seattle to increase their chances of signing Chris.
– On Ilya Mikheyev: they’ve been trying to move him for a while, they tried to move him at the deadline. It’s going to be tough to do. Milstein got permission to talk to other teams but the same thing happened with Boeser and Garland last year and no one wanted them.
– On Guentzel: Canes are still trying to re-sign him. There are benefits with him staying in Carolina, mentions cost of living, state tax etc. As an example, he says Chatfield would have demanded at least 3.5M from Canucks in free agency, Carolina was able to re-sign him for 3M.
Hard pass on Edmundson
Martinook is interesting, would love to have Dillon if Zadorov goes.
Wonder if we re-sign Myers if Zadorov comes back?
Also wonder who they make Zadorov’s partner?
Management says they want Hronek to run his own pair, I’m not sure how that would look with Zad? I think Soucy would be fine but they were kinda mid together last year.
I also think Zadorov has a lot more to give, but he also needs a partner that gives him the freedom to do so.
I’m not sure how Hronek would look with him
Edmundson sounds like a really good fit, as long as he’s not seeking a significant raise.
I really like Joel Edmundson but I don’t know that I’d love him at the money and term he’ll command
