Team: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 21, 2023

Published: Apr. 21, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Reserve List

Joni Jurmo - 3rd round pick from a couple years back. Id expect him to get a look in Abbotsford and join fellow countryman Raty.

Connor Lockhart - late round pick who has produced in juniors. Worth a contract, could have similar AHL transition to Bains who was also a high end WHL player.

RFA

Ethan Bear - Allvin hinted that Bear would probably not be getting much of a raise. I suspect this also means that the Canucks are not buying any of Bears UFA years, meaning its likely to be a 1 year deal.

Hoglander - Being sent down after basically 2 full years in the NHL has probably strained the relationship between the Canucks and Hoglander. I suspect this may make Hoglander reluctant to sign a long term deal. Moreover, I expect the total dollar amount to be lower as well given the fact that Hoglander has spent essentially 1.5 years in the AHL/ in and out of NHL lineup.

Create a Player

Kuzmenko Bonous - Kuzmenko his nearly $850,000 in performance bonuses that will count against the teams cap this season since they were in LTIR last season.

UFA

Magnus Hellberg - The Canucks have said they do not expect to spend a lot in net this next season. I suspect they give Martin an opportunity to reclaim the backup. Hellberg comes to Vancouver with an opportunity to work with Ian Clarke and fight with Martin for starts.

David Kampf - The Canucks have made clear that the teams biggest offseason priority is to address the 3rd line centre spot. They target a former teammate/linemate of Mikheyev to fill the role.
