Rumor: Canucks interested in Vatanen, Hamonic, and Gustafsson

[THE Green Man]

Ok but it is still an albatross of a contract especially when compared to Holtby’s performance art on the ice since his cup. He’s not good and theres a hood tax for taking a horrible contract like that.

Albatross and 2 years do not go together. If it were long term then sure. It’s not a good contract but it’s not bad either, I’m fine with this compared to what Markstrom ended up getting based on our particular situation.

You are aware of the contract he signed right? It’s not even close to being in the realm of an albatross contract

I’m sorry but I don’t buy it. Holtby was hot garbage and used his cup to pillage the Canucks. If Seattle was smart they would think of pillaging canucks management as well. For his performance and pay it is an albatross.

Look I know what it means. Dim Jim signed him for 1 year too long, took the team back a decade.

Garsh you're spunky!

 

[Trinity]

Pretty sure Hamonic is 1 of the players on record saying he won't play during the pandemic cuz of his young daughter. So, unlikely

I don't see the correlation.

A two year contract is actually the perfect signing.

He has short term memory loss that his teams GM went after Holtby and lost out

There’s plenty of reasons to shit on Nucks mgmt right now, not sure why you’re focussed on the one thing they did right. . I don’t think you know what an albatross contract is

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Benning keeps calling UFAs that have already signed.

Look I know the definition, but he’s so bad you’ll most likely want him gone the first couple months. Then it becomes an albatross because for a year and a half you’re stuck on an island with no takers.

You realize he was signed as a Backup/Mentor..... we aren’t stuck on an island with him....your Schtick is worse than mine

 

[BCNate]

If we can find a way to get one of these three on a short cheap deal, our d is set and upgraded significantly.

Gustafsson signed with Philly today, but your point is valid. Not so sold on Hamonic but Vatanen would be a good get.

Schmidt + Vatanen >> Tanev + Stecher

 

[wonton15]

Vatanen on a cheap deal for the third pair would solidify the D pretty well.

Edler Schmidt
Hughes Myers
Juolevi/Benn Vatanen

 

[Siludin]

Vatanen on a cheap deal for the third pair would solidify the D pretty well.

Edler Schmidt
Hughes Myers
Juolevi/Benn Vatanen

Vatanen will play above* Juolevi.
Rafferty and Juolevi will be 7 & 8 (in some order)

 

[Go Wings]

Schmidt + Vatanen >> Tanev + Stecher

They have 2 million left to sign their RFAs, where are they getting the money to sign Vatanen?

 

[Seventy7]

Edler Schmidt
Hughes Myers
Juolevi/Benn Vatanen

They’ll have to likely move some cap to make that work. But I think this is a move they’d like to make as well.

I hear there's a leprechaun at the end of the rainbow.

 

[BB06]

3M actually after they bury Sven.

 

[wonton15]

There's a cap clearing move coming for sure. It'll happen. As it stands, we can barely/can't even afford our RFA's in Virtanen and Gaudette right now with holes in our lineup.

 

[innitfam]

Well yeah, it's unlikely to happen but would be great nonetheless.

 

[BCNate]

Ferland going LTIR, Whis has is likely, opens up 3.5. Sending Baertschi to Utica opens up another million, same with LE. That gives you 7.5. JV and AG will take up 4 absolute max.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Here’s what I would do:

Sutter+Virtanen for a mid round pick
Benn+Pick for future considerations
Sign Vatanen 1-2 years at 2 million per
Sign Duclair to a 1 year 2.75 million per deal
Resign Gaudette and Leivo


Miller-Petey-Boeser
Pearson-Horvat-Duclair
Rousell-Gaudette-Leivo
Motte-Beagle-MacEwan

Hughes-Myers
Edler-Schmidt
Juolevi-Vatanen
Rafferty/Chatfield

Friend I don’t think cap space is cheap: look what it cost Vegas to move Schmidt
