Thread: FA signings
This is a chaotic one lol.

Like that Boeser trade. Not sure how much more we'd have to add. NHL trade values never make sense and Canucks fans clearly don't realize Copp's value. That package isn't a bad starting point though IMO.

I don't get down with buying out Wheeler though. Not yet. Maybe in a year or two but he's still a productive player. He played injured all last year and it showed - I'd just try and give him less ice time this year and play him on a line with some guys who actually play defense (pretty much anyone other than Scheifele and Connor lol).

Also I don't like playing Stastny on that checking line. He's gotta be a scoring line and ideally he should be playing center. In an ideal world IMO, he's our 3C for a scoring line and Lowry's our 4C for our checking line.

Not gonna lie, I think you're way off RE: Pionk and Copp's contracts. I can't see Copp signing for anything less than $4M AAV (I'd guess around $4.5M to $4.75M AAV) and I think Pionk gets at least $5.5M, probably closer to Morrissey's $6.25M.

Also pretty sure that Hoffman will get at least 5 x $5M and that's with a US team, I would think we'd need to pay him quite a bit more than four and a half. Not sure why we'd go after him anyway though if we were just gonna play him on the fourth line

And finally I'm not sure if Brossoit would want that contract. I think someone will offer him a 1B or at least a backup role where he's not hidden behind a vezina winner so he'll have a chance to become a starter. His numbers last season were really solid and $1.5M x 4 is a uncommon contract.
