Thread: camp roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>3rd team is retaining on VGK I'm just lazy to put that here. But they would want retention to fit him next year.

No one is untouchable for JR. Give that up.



VAN has already realized it's sunken costs. They aren't going to resign him and they aren't getting the play they need out of him.
So as much as you think it's a bad deal, those are already dead assets. At best BOS would give you Lysell.
But you can't move him there yourself as you can't make the cap work. Which is why BOS the Buyer pays for the 3rd party retention aka a 1st.</div></div>

No matter who retains VGK can’t acquire Smith with retention until the summer when it’s been one year since he’s been on their roster

And JR is not the GM, and every Canucks reporter/insider has confirmed that Lekkerimaki and Willander are both unavailable in trades

Thread: We could easily beat the Kotkaniemi and Necas offer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>theleano1</b></div><div>I agree do we know the actual package that was offered? I don't think we do but I could be wrong, that seems really low for me as well, that's a part of the reason I don't think there was actually any serious thought put into it outside of it being a backup plan</div></div>

To me it sounds like it was mostly just a situation where Carolina called and Allvin basically used trade talks with them as leverage to force a decision out of Petey. Gave him the ultimatum of you're either gonna extend/commit to extending, or you wont be wearing a Canucks jersey by the end of the year. Basically just wanted to use the leverage of a potential trade to force Petey's hand by taking some control instead of letting him hold all the cards.
