Wow, I know he's good, but this seems like a pretty steep price for a #4 D-man. They must see some up-side to him that I haven't heard of. Even the sports writers are saying it was a pretty steep price.
And Mrazek re-signs with Detroit $4m per, with howard thats $9.3M in net, and so without LTIR they are maxed out cap wise being $4M+ over the cap.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
A rare "bridge" deal for a guy coming off his entry level deal. I'd like to see more deals like this...let a guy prove himself for a couple more years before you lock him up for 6 years.

That would indeed help a lot!
I've said for a while now less of these signings are happening with the 3 year ELC as opposed to the 2.

It's good for depth players for sure.
For the Canucks future bridge deals, it should be used for Virtanen, Hutton and Tryamkin.
Gudbranson will probably get a standard top 4 defensive dman contract of $4.5M per x 6.
But I think for Horvat, maybe JB/TL might think about getting creative with Bo, with two options, either go long term 8 years @ $5M-$5.3M ish (taking him to 30 years of age) or bridge him 2-3 years (as I believe a 4 year contract next season would bring him to UFA).
With how Bo Horvat plays and how pro he is, I think this is the only time I think a 8 year contract would be a wise move long term for the Canucks.

A defensive specialist only has so much leverage, most comparables are putting up much more points, the best comp I can find is Hjalmarsson @ $4.1M per, next is Tanev @ $4.45M per.
So yeah in between those would suffice, I guess I was just taking into account UFA years, & remembering when Hamhuis got $4.5M per when he signed here as a UFA.

You're talking about a GM that pays a 3rd line centre 4.4 million , a number 6 damn 3.6 million and a 4th line slug 2.65 million . I'll be thrilled if Ignitowski can get him for that price. He isn't exactly known as a shrewd negotiator, though the Tanev and Baertschi contracts are ok.

We're paying Horvat 4.4 and Trymakin 3.6?!??
When did I miss that?!??

Two things Guds has that your two examples don't boast, nastiness and Captain potential. While it's hard to put a number on these qualities, they are something every team desires on their blue line, and moreover Vancouver sorely lacks.
Granted, there aren't too many Gudbranson comparables throughout the league. But if he should take the next step in his development this year and establish himself as a dominant shut-down force, he could prove to be a real challenge to re-sign as a result of his unique abilities.
D-man come at a premium in the NHL today, and DD in Detroit just raised the bar for above-average top 4D.

I was jerking your chain.
I was saying that we are paying Sutter 4.4 as our second line Center. We are paying the correct amount for a second line Center, but the debate should be are we paying the correct person
And I think we can all just agree that we are paying Sbisa about a million too much.
(But like I said, I was just poking da bear.. Sometimes it's entertaining to have you go off about that contract -- and its summer and I am bored ✌)

Skyo, I have had similar thoughts with Bo. Lock him up early, and relatively cheaply, and if he's still a stud in 8 years, he can be extended. I like it better than a bridge contract, and then an 8 year extension that takes him to 33 or 34, where he may or not be worth it for the last few years of the contract.
IDK how that works, I never tune in, but they post on twitter about it a lot.
