2019 Roster and Fantasy GM Thread III

[Peter Griffin]

Do you say that because of where we will be finish of the league conspiracy that doesn’t allow the Canucks to get top 3

The Canucks will likely have less than a 10% chance of drafting top 2 in this draft.

 

[me2]

Is there any chance that SJS don’t bring back Pavelski? Meier gonna get paid and they have to resign Karlsson and Thornton and Donskoi.

I’d sign him to a $21m/3 year deal. Help the PP1 and play him primarily on the wing.

best case

Karlsson $11m
Pavelski $7m
Thonton $4m
Meier $5.5m
Donskoi $3m
Lablanc $3m

that's $33.5m with 3 more cheap spots to fill. That is the best case scenario, it could blow out to $40m. Something is going to have to shake loose even under the best case.

 

[Soups On]

So Motte practiced on Horvat's line and MacEwen was rotating in and out with Schaller on the Beagle line.

Sautner being asked to carry Gudbranson as well. Good luck Ashton, you'll need a Gud amount

Green is a good coach in a lot of ways but his inability to evaluate the players at his desposal and refusal to put young players in positions to succeed will be his undoing.

Which is somehow construed as generating an attack narrative against Green...

It's time to recognize Green's weaknesses and not be so defensive about their existence.

He's got his good points, which have also been discussed.

Yeah this is what I think as well. Either they know they can't sign Karlsson, Thornton retires, and/or they're willing to trade one of Vlasic, Jones, or Hertl, there actually might not be money left over for Pavelski which is kind of crazy.

As it stands they have about $25M in cap space this off season with 9 roster spots to fill. Meier will get whatever Boeser and Connor get so probably closer to $7-8M than $5.5.

If I was SJS I would be loading up hard this deadline. The window is closing.

A line of Pavelski-EP-Boeser would be lights out. Alternatively, Baertschi-Horvat-Pavelski would be pretty fire as well.

 

[Mr Plow]

Yeah this is what I think as well. Either they know they can't sign Karlsson, Thornton retires, and/or they're willing to trade one of Vlasic, Jones, or Hertl,

Vlasic is a defensive defenseman signed for $7M AAV until he's 39 years old. That contract is untradeable.

 

[UK Canuck]

Vlasic is a defensive defenseman signed for $7M AAV until he's 39 years old. That contract is untradeable.

Until Jim Benning trades a 2020 2nd round pick for it*

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Until Jim Benning trades a 2020 2nd round pick for it*

If they take Gudbranson or Loui back...

 

[Addison Rae]

Yeah Vlasic has taken a major step back this year. A moron GM will trade for him though based on the team Canada crap.

Doug Wilson can and will do it, probably get a good asset out of it.

 

[Josepho]

If they take Gudbranson or Loui back...

even then the answer is f*** no

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Remember when pariese and Suter signed in shithole Minnesota together?

Will stone and Karlsson potentially do the same?

Come onnnnnn Vancouver

 

[Melvin]

Remember when pariese and Suter signed in ****hole Minnesota together?

Will stone and Karlsson potentially do the same?

Come onnnnnn Vancouver

CAn't offer 14 year contracts anymore.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

How about the Selene/Kariya contract ?

Selanne took 10 and Kariya took 1 or something like that

 

[kanuck87]

How about the Selene/Kariya contract ?

Selanne took 10 and Kariya took 1 or something like that

Of all places, why would Karlsson and Stone do that in Vancouver? We're nowhere near the team that Colorado was back then and they have no ties here.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

It’s called the “fantasy” GM tread for a reason let me dream LET ME DREAM

But ignoring Vancouver as a destination, does Stone and Karlsson have a relationship where they would try to join a team together, like one that is poised to be a contender soon ( Minnesota had nothing going for it at the time when they acquired ZP and RS )

Now maybe this is just a Canucks fan perspective but we aren’t that far from turning the corner.

Obviously neither guy is gonna take a severe pay cut to play with each other, but a small discount could happen. Hoffman’s wife was the issue right, or was there more ?

 

[vanarchy]

I really want Stone or Panarin. I don't think the Nucks are a realistic destination for Karlsson.

 

[4Twenty]

Green is a good coach in a lot of ways but his inability to evaluate the players at his desposal and refusal to put young players in positions to succeed will be his undoing.

Is he though?

Like at least he rides his good players not 1-2-3-4 Willie, but Motte/Granlund/Pouliot/Gudbranson usage doesn't seem all that different than how Willie rode Chaput/Megna/Vey types.

Green is too willing to go back to the line that just screwed up! Constantly forcing Motte Eriksson and Beagle to change momentum back after giving up a goal is quite annoying! Or his OT pairings? Like really, play to win the god damn game! ROW’s are super important this time of the year!

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Stone is apparently very close to re signing w. Ottawa

 

[vanarchy]

Stone is apparently very close to re signing w. Ottawa

Damn. And it just makes me like the player more for sticking through despite the crap that franchise is going through.

 

[Blue and Green]

Stone is apparently very close to re signing w. Ottawa

An Ottawa hockey beat writer suggests otherwise.

With deadline looming, Mark Stone could be scratched tonight in New Jersey

 

[GetFocht]

Bob McKenzie said that Vancouver and Toronto are the only Canadian cities that Panarin would be interested in playing in.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

Bob McKenzie said that Vancouver and Toronto are the only Canadian cities that Panarin would be interested in playing in.

And that they are very much long shots as Panarin would want to go to a big US market

 

[mriswith]

At this point there are only two reasons I want to make the playoffs this year:
-Give the young guys a taste of the real competition and reward them for carrying the team on their backs the entire season
and
-To increase the very remote possibility we could sign one of the big 3 free agents this summer.

Three franchise players in the middle of their prime shaking loose in one free agency is obscenely rare and in a summer where we have the cap space to sign one.

Not to mention that if we manage to sign one of them, it drastically reduces the chances of Benning making a moronic signing of one of the other lesser free agents.
