Thread: Would Canuck fans be happy with this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Orango</b></div><div>Toronto instantly matches that offer. It will take over $3 million, or possibly over $4 million for Toronto to consider not matching.</div></div>

The issue for Toronto is they are already 1.5 mil over cap that would put them 4.5mil over who are they dumping to make up the difference? Really though LHD is not what Van needs, I'm also not sure on giving up a 2nd to ditch poolman just yet, Due to him missing half a season with ailments its hard to say that he just needed to adjust to a new team. He also didnt get much time under Bruce and changes he had implemented. If he is healthy this year and can be a solid stay at home D it might be a good match up for Rathbone on the 3rd line pairing. IMO Van needs to sell Myers while he has some perceived value keep the right side D cheap and defensive minded and let our left side push the Offense. Also frees up Money to Extend Miller if we can not spend on our right side.

LHD RHD
Hughes Schen
OEL Dermott
Rathbone Poolman

Burroughs

I would Also Trade Pearson, Hogs is not a 4th line player gives what could be a great energy line of Lazar Dakota and Lockwood

Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Elias Pettersson (3 Years / $7,350,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>For guys like Petey bridge deals can go either way

In Vancouvers case I got a feeling they will regret bridging him and wish they had given him the 8 year term at a reasonable cap hit when they had the chance. Cap space being the main factor as Horvat, Hoglander, Miller, and Boeser will all need new deals and with the cap potentially staying flat will be an interesting 3 years for them.</div></div>

Next year Motte and Sutter Contracts come off to get Boeser his new contract and hopefully find entry level contracts to fill the Void. Rathbone hopefully see's limited time this year so we can keep him on a cheap deal for a few more years.
Year after for Miller, Horvat, Hoglander you will have the Buyouts come off the books as well as Hamonic(if hes here at that point) giving you 5.4 mill to keep Horvat and Miller Hoglander. Miller will be 30 at the start of that year so he wont be getting any Crazy increases if any.
The Following year you have Myers, Pearson, and Dickinsons Contracts Expire. Gives you almost 12 mill to give Petterson his increase, Sign Podkolzin if he does what we hope and resign Dickinson if he plays well and sign Rathbone to his 1st big contract if he develops. I would look at having Rathbone learn to play on the right wing and be a better all round player than Meyers at this point and help fill out your top 4 defenders. And Jet Woo hopefully has cracked the bottom right D as a solid Defensive D man.

Overall I think we are fine for the upcoming rounds of contracts as long as we don't get another crazy year like we did with Defense this year.

Thread: just get them signed
While I'm high on Hughes and believe he was put into way too many minutes against other teams top lines, he has not earned the right to put in the same position as some of these other contracts in the 8.5-9.5 million range. All of those players have shown to be a lot more reliable defensively while still putting up points. Last year was a really bad year for Vancouver as a whole with COVID giving pretty much no pre season and not even time for a practice over the 1st half of the shortened season. This impacted Van more than others especially on Defense where half of the Defense was not there the previous season. I believe Hughes ends up on a 3-4 year contract in the 5-6 mill range with the final season being around 8.5 so he will have a high qualifying offer as an RFA. Pettersson May get a longer Contract but again a good chance he does 3 years at 7.5 range with the last year of his contract in the 9.5 range for a qualifying offer as a RFA. With both of them running the same agent there is a lot of speculation they will both end up with the same Term of 3 yrs with a high pay in the last year to give them negotiating power for their last RFA contract.

Thread: Building off this season and changes to Defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheAlien</b></div><div>Bonuses are probably closer to 2mil. I'd also rather trade Pearson and Hamonic rather than pay to move Myers. It should also give you enough cap to sign Pulock maybe</div></div>

Putting in the worst case for bonuses.

Hamonic had no pre season and Canucks did not get 1 practice in until after their 20th game last season. He showed progression with Hughes as the season went on, and that was after Van lost Elias for the rest of the season. I'm interested to see how defensive pairs start out but do not see a good fit for Myers on this team, our entire LD are offensive minded players and Myers is a RD that is also supposed to be an offensive D, he had mixed results with Hughes, and seems to be to slow when facing rushes to be a good defensive D man and took bad penalties in the D zone.

Pearson might be a tradeable piece but Myers is the less serviceable player in my mind

Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Jason Dickinson (3 Years / $2,650,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenkins</b></div><div>The break even is at 7-8 players for each team .... the top 7-8 contracts + buyouts next season are roughly equal between Toronto and Vancouver.

Toronto then begins to take the lead as you slide down the depth ....

<strong>Deal with it brotha. </strong></div></div>

So when you take TO's top 9 paid forwards and Top 4 paid D-Men they have spent 68.52 Mill on those 13 Players.
If you take Vancouvers Top 8 Forwards and Top 3 D they have spent 46.08 Mill on those 11 Players, giving Van almost 22.5 Mil to spend on Hughes/Petterson to round out the same player totals.

Most estimates are Hughes for 6ish years at 7.5-8 Mill and Pety on 3 years for around 7.5-8 Mill on the high side that is 16 Mil for both players putting Van at about 6.5 Mil less on their top 4 D and Top 9 Forwards. I don't know were your math comes from but TO is heavy even when its top 13. Now we get down to those last 3 forwards and 2 D, TO spent 5.5 Mil and Van spend 5.9 Mil so your spent .4 mil less but lets not forget the extra 6.5 mil Vancouver has. so now on our entire roster we have spent 6.1 Mil less and I would say have a more complete lineup on forwards and comparable D (Better D if OEL works out for us).

Last Spot is Goalies, Van has spent about a mil more for I would say an arguably better Duo in net.


So in total TO has spent 79.5 mill on 12 F 6 D and 2 G. and then have 1.2 mill tied up in Kessel. Leaving only enough space to have either 1 spare forward or D left as a scratch.
Vancouver has spent 75.5 on 12 F 7D and 2G (based on 16 mill in contracts for Pety and Hughes). They have 3.6 mill in dead cap and then 3.5 Mil in LTIR Leaving enough space to have 2 F and 1 D scratch and not even touch the LTIR from Ferland and still have $500k to spare.

So you are running 1 spare player and no scratches really and are right up on your cap. Van technically could add another 4 mil of contracts during the season and be fine(more come trade deadline). Van have the better lineup with the flexibility to swap out their young players to help develop them.
