Gained a lot of respect for Stetcher.
So Tanevs already injured so was he already in the hospital waiting for him??

Who cares. You know he most likely would've if he stayed healthy for the rest of the season. Of course that would have been awesome to see, but as long as he comes back 100% that's way more important. He'll make up for it next year.Of course he ends with 29 goals and not 30.
You just have to laugh. This is the most Canuck thing ever.

How do people here feel about a long-term extension for Boeser this off-season? He'll be heading into the final season of his ELC and we have control of him for another 5 seasons after his ELC before he hits UFA.
I figure with the team planning to stink it up for another couple of seasons and the salary we'll have coming off the books this season, it might be a good idea to extend him now to lower his cap hit in future seasons when we'd be in contention. However, to make the long-term extension worthwhile, we would want the contract to take up some UFA seasons and that would mean a contract of 7+ seasons, ideally 8. That would be a really long commitment for someone who has just one season under his belt, albeit a really good one.
Personally, I'm on the fence with this one. If we get him locked up now, we could probably get him for around $6 million a season, but if we wait another season, the price might go up to $7 or $8 million a season. Feels like if we're going to give it to him next off-season, we mind as well give it to him this off-season to save some cap hit for the future. So we're looking at 8 years x $6 million maybe?
What does everyone else think?
If he’s on pace for another 30 goals season by Christmas
You give that beautiful Prince 8 x 8~9m
The cap will go up soon
To me this is simple: give him everything he wants and then some in order to guarantee that he stays here long term. If we try to chintz out on him he will walk. No American superstar has ever played for the Canucks and for good reasons; travel, cost of living, a terrible legacy of shame and failure and, of course, the fact that Canada is "alien" territory to Americans. Unless he is coddled mercilessly I fear he will simply demand a trade when his contract comes up.

8-9 will soon be the normal price for 30s 40s goals scorer as the cap go up30 goals isn't worth 8-9 mil lol. Especially since he probably will have a similar amount of assists. Even if the cap goes up.
Actually we do have the room, all we need to do this don’t resign the Sedins. For the next few years there will be a couple ELC on this team. Once they need contracts, both Eriksson and Gud will be gone.We'd have room to overpay Brock by a bit if it wasn't for the junked contract space wasted by Eriksson, Gudbranson, Gagner, Del Zotto, Sutter, and Nilsson.
As it stands, we don't have a lot of breathing room to give him a little more of what he might want because of all the expensive trash accrued on the roster.
Extending him this off-season would be unwise, IMO. Closest comp for this would probably be going back to the Gaudreau deal, which was for 6.75 mill per, and that was a few years ago, so if that's the key basis of comparison, it'd probably be closer to 7 mill.
If you can get him long-term at 6, sure, lock him up. That's doubtful, though. Probably makes more sense to let him prove his production for one more season, then look at extending him long-term after that with a better read on him, because it's doubtful you're going to get him for less than 7, whether it's this year or next, if you want to go crack into those UFA years.

Remember when we all cried that Luongo's 7 million dollar contract a year was outrageous?
There is no rush and the Canucks have the control. I would wait a year and see what Boeser does. His shooting % was unsustainably high at the start of the season. If he has a great year then the Canucks will be happy to pay him but I would wait to see to see a larger body of work before I pay him 8 million
"no american superstar has ever played for the canucks" lmao okay no disrespect to Ryan Kesler, but how many american superstars have there been in NHL history? Like 8? I think there might be other reasons we've never had one, possibly that there aren't very many of them and they're difficult to acquire
