Canucks Contracts

[Island Nucklehead]

It’ll happen part way through the pre season likely towards the end. Once they cut Schaller and Eriksson there will be more than enough cap space. They can also put Roussel on LTIR if they have a longer term deal in mind.

The chicken littles running around with their hair on fire is adorable

While I'm optimistic something gets done before October, the cap situation does need to get sorted out. No way we should be going into the season as an LTIR squad. Flush Eriksson and Sutter and be done with it.

I bet Boeser signs pretty quick, in the end he'll get a fair contract, playing with Petey and having a strong start is probably pretty important and the franchise has treated him well from the beginning.

I mean he could hold out for a smidgen more money, but why have a poor start ala William Nylander?

GETR DONE.

Stecher: “I just told Brock as a friend that if you’re not here (at camp), don’t feel stressed and continue to work hard and make sure you’re prepared to come back. Make sure you’re not a step behind. But don’t feel bad. Your dad (Duke) is very ill right now’”

I'll show the whole thing cause it's a little funny; ( might be some paywall there ? ).

"That" would be acceptable
But Eriksson was on the radio a spell ago and said he talked to Green and are working things out and that his comments were taken out of
context. In other words; he aint goin anywhere and will no doubt start the season with the big club.

So what if he does. We don't have a cap issue, and we can trade him next year, or buy him out if we need a bit more room for Pete/Quinn in 2 years. He's only $4 buyout his last year, giving us an extra $2. We have like 730 sleeps until then (or, 1500 diaper changes for the shit your pants/urine crew), so lots will change.

If Ericksson earns a spot in our top 12, that is a good thing seeing how we have about 18 potential top 12 guys. Depth is good.

Weisbrod:

Sportsnet 650

Weisbrod on Brock: I've seen or heard the cap space sentiment, having been in the discussions - the cap space is not the issue. That issue has not in any way been an impediment to getting him signed.

I think it's more of a political type of thing with the number of RFA's that are unsigned, the PA's interest in how that goes - the pace-setters and who sets the ceiling. You've got the Marner's/Points in 1 category, the Connor's/Boeser's in another category.

If it's political and the Canucks / Boeser camp, has had a nudge-nudge>>>shshshshshsh, don't announce nothin till the Biggy does, well;

Yup,long term, short term it's a win for the Canucks!
Now that Marners done, Brock will be signing soon.

I'd come back to Boeser and offer him coke head Kuznetsov's contract.

8 years $7.8M AAV.


Boeser would be making more than Zach Parise, ROR, Tarasenko and Bobby-fucking-Ryan (just sounds better)

Problem is everyone (including Boeser) knows he'll be a 40-goal scorer...

[Blob Mckenzie]

He still hasn’t scored 30. Go short term 2 - 3 years or 6 -8. Stay away from four or five year deals unless it’s a sweetheart deal for the team.

Boeser isn’t comparable to Tarasenko at this point. Or ROR for that matter. The other two guys mentioned are on horrible contracts

Well Skyo was talking about an 8-year contract...

Also everyone knows he's injury prone and may never reach it. ... just saying dude is like Sami Salo the glassman - so far Boeser has injured his foot, hand, groin and has had a horrendous back injury-----------why I'd be intrigued on a Laine blockbuster deal.

idk but a four year Timo Meier contract imo would be the money spot, can see his health over this time span with lower cap AAV a bit, and maybe get a bit more than Meier, but at the cost of a lower salary in year 4, ie not $10M salary, more like $7M-$8M salary.

[Strangelove]

-----------why I'd be intrigued on a Laine blockbuster deal.

Yeahno, keep the character guy.

Take freaky Laine on your fantasy team, not your real-life team.
