Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Its a harsh reality. Who knows how much more luck Benning would have had in moving contracts if COVID had not hit? I think he might have had more opportunity. But having said that this is the reality. The bad contracts have hurt any chance of signing some FA. But, for whatever reason, whether its B...

Anyone come across a regularly updated list of remaining UFA's?

Bwahahahahahahaaaaa..........

yup. Can see it in your body language and tone-of-voice already.
Not mad......just dissapointed

If things stay as is we could go into next year looking something like this: Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Virtanen Roussel Gaudette MacEwen Motte Beagle Sutter Eriksson Bailey Hughes Myers Edler Benn Juolevi Chatfield Rafferty Demko Holtby I could handle that lineup for a year standing o...

I'm wondering if Benning is confident on Tryamkin's return? That would make the loss of Troy easier to deal with (cap wise and personnel wise) The agent said they couldn't wait any longer for the Canucks to clear cap so they extended back home. I agree, I think that would be an okay swap if Green w...

+1
The only reason the contracts are a problem is because petey & hughes have opened the window earlier than everyone anticipated

I guess Barrie wasn't a priority for the Canucks if 1yr./$4mill didn't get done

I expect a rookie dman on the team this year, leaving space for a UFA RD and possibly Toffoli.

I'm wondering if Jake getting qualified signals that he could be given the opportunity to be Toffolis replacement.
With roughly $4mill in cap space left there might only be room for a RHD

No 1st rounders attached to Lois. Try and dumpster dive for a couple of decent defenders through trade or free agency. Dmen acquired via the dumpster are garbage Doyle. The canucks can afford Petro if they wash out Weezie and if it takes that late 1st i say its worth the loss. This team will be liv...

So...the defense. What is the appropriate sweetener for Ottawa to bite? Would you ship next years 1st over with Weezie if it meant you cleared enough space to add Petro? Nah, No more 1st's given. Petro's a hell of a player but the aav & term will fuck things in the long term. And it doesn't seem li...

Like most of you i'm happy Jimbro didn't bend over on term for Marky & Tanev. It sucks losing them, but Holtby is a fine plan B and there will be deals in the upcoming days. Heard a Dan Murphy interview were he said it might be a good year for the Canucks to take a step back and wait for some contra...

Is there something to the Albortian rumours for Markstrom or is this just a pressure tactic from his agent? Heard some shit on the radio yesterday how Calgary has $17 mill. in cap space, but needs to sign 12 more players. Edmonton has less space needs to sign RNH & others. And then there's the havi...

Another morning, another OEL watch. Hopefully this is the last one. I think, hope, we will know fairly quickly if it will happen or not. Saw this, this morning, nothing new really: OEL trade is still progressing tonight. AZ wants Höglander, Podkolzin or Demko but may have to settle for Lind as the ...

Barrie is less scary But he’s a weak defender so I wouldn’t count on him solidifying much. All he costs is cap space. Jimbro did say in a recent interview that he believes they need another quick puck-moving defenseman. I'm assuming right side since they have Hughes Does Barrie fit that? :?: Hughes...

How come Skyo hasn't been talking about Barrie?
Seems somewhat suspicious
