There is a lot to digest here,
1. A.Pietrangelo will need to be signed longer then 4 years, the 9 million is probably a good guess on what he is worth.
2. J.Markstrom will want more then 4 million a year over 2 years, he's reportedly asking for 5-6 years north of 6 million
3. Trading L.Eriksson is going to be extremely hard, especially with the current price tag to send a contract with a 6 million cap hit for the next two years. this conversation starts with a 1st rounder with an A prospect. i could see Demko being moved with Eriksson to a team that has space and needs a goalie.
4. Trading S.Baertschi will again cost more then a 4th rounder..... if we ship out a 4th then expect to trade Juolevi or an equivalent type of prospect.
5. this is minor but i don't believe Sutter ever won a cup..
I'm all over the Canucks going all in and bolstering the team to be a true contender, but we're going to have to give up big assets to shed some of this money.
