Talk about yer bizarre coincidences! :wow:

I don't expect anyone to believe this but I've got to say it...

Yesterday during the... "conversation"... Mick and I were having,

See, this is what I'm talking about.

Mick, I don't care what planet you're from, but we speak the Queen's English here.

I'm a doctor dammit, not a goddamned translator! :)

I'd expect things to tighten up further between now and the free agent window opening. Would make moving a Sutter or Baertschi contract tougher but might be slightly easier to dump Eriksson.
If it's any consolation, there are teams in worse shape then we are in regard to hard choices. Which GMs will be first in setting the trend in cost cutting. If Benning and the Canucks can hold out a while, till the realization of smaller then "the norm" term lengths and salaries to all players up for renewal, that would be ideal. Patience is difficult though.
I agree. If they can show some patience now, even at the risk of losing someone to a stupid overpay, and move even one guy out without too much damage, it could be a much better than expected offseason. It's going to be a game of musical chairs for UFAs and RFAs as Burke said and players may just have to consider where they want to play rather than attempt to wring every last dollar out of the market or risk not being in a good spot finding a team. Canucks are becoming a preferred destination again so it bodes well.

Bah, just figure out the new market and offer players you want to keep fair contracts according to dat dere.

You don't want a player like Tanev to hit the open market and start getting wooed by other teams.

Capitals GM Brian MacLellan says he expects Braden Holtby to go to free agency. Given Washington's cap situation, not really a surprise.

There are more...IMO. Markstrom will have to sign at 4 to 4.5. million per, if he wants a retirement style contract. That's the safe thing to do
and what I think he''ll do.
The other way he could approach it is to use someone like Holtby's expiring contract as a template. No way that works now. Nada chance.

Holtby’s contract signed ages ago has fuck all to do with the contract Markstrom will sign.

Jonas Brodin signed a seven-year, $42 million contract extension with the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.

Not sure if that has any bearing on what we can expect regarding Tanev.

Don't know if it could effect Tanev, but talk is already out there. It always is.

New Brodin deal for Wild opens door to trade Dumba to Canucks
The Canucks would surely be suitors for Matt Dumba's defensive talents, but it would take a player like Brock Boeser to land the veteran defenceman.

Dumba is over rated.

The funny thing is that Minnesota knows this, which is why they just signed Brodie for the same money.

Why do Canuck fans and writers keep speculating that Dumba could (or should) come here?
