So funny how fans just can't see how ridiculously unfair their offers are. Brodie was UFA last yr and the Canucks didn't make him an offer. Now they are going to give up 2 high picks haha.

That's why I targets FAs in their 20s still. And signed 3 yr deals at most. You could maybe we cant get those done but not wanting to is silly. This team would be outside contending. And you basically would rather have a 1st round pick?

Hopefully you'd say sorry for the abuse. Sutter is atrocious. To not recognize he is and has been one of the biggest problems on this team is hard to take. He's a centerman who has what 1 assist?

There is no reason a fan should possibly care about a signing bonus though right. Rebuilds can happen quickly in todays NHL, more like reload.

Actually its worse than that dump Zucker's contract and gain two high picks. Having said that take those picks out and the Canucks may want to consider giving Zucker a fresh start.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Giving up too much to take Erikssons contract. Not giving enough for Seattle to take Myers.</div></div>

We're getting Boone Jenner a quality, young 3c in the Eriksson deal though. You may be correct that it could take more to rid ourselves of Myers. I think I'd go as high as a 2nd and b prospect.

Thread: Trading

I see Hughes and Petey getting similar contracts. This is just so much of the same though. This team would not be good. They'd squeak into the playoffs if they overachieved.

Thread: No big changes

If we resigned Brandon Sutter I'm not even joking that would be it. I would no longer be a fan of the Vancouver Canucks. It'd be borderline abuse if they did that to the fans.

Thread: What salary cap problem

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VanFan10</b></div><div>True. JT would still play powerplay and penalty kill and this way his minutes would be managed a bit better playing on the 3rd. I would be nice to slot in a 20 goal guy next to him but you can't tell me Motte and JT wouldn't be a tough matchup to play against.

Virt is taking lots of heat, as he should be, but i'm not making any long term descions based of this year (Except Demko, I like that deal). My hope would be to have Jake on his final year of the deal get back to that 20 goal guy. No sense selling low on him right now.</div></div>

First of JT needs to play with good players. He is just so good and makes so much happen. Virtanen's stock is low but it's just a failed project in Vancouver. We've seen he is a smart player and he is a dedicated player. Shipping him out would be a good thing regardless of what the return is.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juggin_Pav</b></div><div>Canucks decline both those trades</div></div>

Id prob pull the trigger on the Virtanen for Miller trade. I think the organization just needs to move on from him unfortunately it's a constant negative storyline. Getting a right shot dman in return sounds great.

To sign a player with. Schmidt is a top four dman cost controlled. Can play both ends.

If im the Canucks I take that pick and trade it with Eriksson to rid us of him. If we can't do that I wouldn't do that deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>The point is they have plenty of players of value and it's more prudent to lose 1 than multiple on a team that's going for the cup</div></div>

Sure. But if you feel you can get assets for the player you feel is going to be taken its worth considering.

Thread: Whats Boesers value

Like assume Petey and Hughes sign at 8 mil per. That puts us in serious trouble. Dealing Eriksson with picks could be done and perhaps sweetening Seattle into taking Myers or Holtby would help too but there is a lot of holes in this team and very little money to fill it.

Thread: What salary cap problem

I'm not so sure you can put JT with that level of player. I get putting him at 3c to fill a role but Virtanen is god awful in fact I think he might get dealt for a bag of pucks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>This. Avs are fine with losing 1 player to SEA, but trading guys before the expansion draft just makes COL lose even more depth players. If VAN wants Graves then wait until after the expansion draft when SEA has like 10 NHL quality D men and negotiate with them</div></div>

The idea is definitely worth a shot. IF you have players of value you can't protect you trade them before draft and get picks or protected young players. Sakic will certainly be looking into this.

He might have to be the way Jim in managing our cap. I could see him being moved simple because is qualifying offer will be too much for us to fit under the cap. Cause well we had to get Pearson signed.
