Canucks News, Rumours, & Fantasy GM | Is it September yet?

[Angry Little Elf]

Apparently Nashville isn't going to qualify Cal Foote.

Adam Foote probably wants to work with his son

 

[StickShift]

Apparently Nashville isn't going to qualify Cal Foote.

I could see it.

 

[MS]

I could see it.

Rasmus Asplund also not qualified then.

 

[arttk]

I don’t expect them to fix everything, but they themselves scoffed at the notion of this being years away and gave a two year timeline.

Their Hronek move and OEL buyout means this team needs to be a playoff team for the next two seasons. To guarantee themselves (within reason), they need to make some pretty significant moves over the summer. A majority of significant movement happens over this week and the following two weeks.

It’s just that simple. They have set the bar for themselves. Fans can’t be blamed for actively evaluating them as things go on based on the bar they set.

Yeah and this is the start of year 2 no? I mean we are seeing doomsday talk 2 days before the draft.

I welcome this talk if this is week 2 in July but right now? You can’t say you don’t expect them to fix everything while bitching about it a day or two before draft that they haven’t done enough.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Aho rumored to be getting 9.5 to 10M AAV.

So 11 for Petey?

I give Petey whatever the heck he wants on a long term deal. IMO, he's going to be an Art Ross and Selke caliber center year in and year out.

I hold Hughes in the same regard amongst defenders, when his deal comes up, too.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Apparently Nashville isn't going to qualify Cal Foote.

Now that's an interest one. Big, young, right shot defender. Hmm.

I gather he'll have a number of suitors.

I think that’s when you get into the semantics aspect.

I think back to Rutherford in Dec 2021 saying two years. This will be the second offseason, and that’s when a majority of movement happens. Like they’ll have had two full cycles of TDL/DRAFT/FA

 

[dez]

He must have some glaring holes in his game, that's 2 teams that have given up on him.

Makes sense for us to give him a go. Replace Bear with him.

 

[credulous]

cal foote is only still kicking around because of his name. he's not good

 

[sewellda]

Quinn Hughes - Scott Mayfield
Carson Soucy - Filip Hronek
Whomever or Ian Cole - Tyler Myers

Extras: Hirose, McWard, Juulsen, Wolanin, Rathbone, Woo

Shouldn't be too expensive....

SCF ended 2 weeks ago and we are like 2 weeks into the 2nd off season.

Like I said, if this was 2 weeks into July and nothing happened I am totally onboard with the concerns but it’s June 28th right now.

 

[dez]

Besides Cole's off-ice concerns... that would be a vast improvement to our on-ice defense and bottom-six depth without breaking the bank.

It would probably cost close to 10 million total and 3 years of commitment.

 

[ziploc]

I'd be happy with him as a Myers replacement. But I'd be happy with the corpse of Dana Murzyn as a Myers replacement, so there's that.

 

[dbaz]

If Nashville who has constantly turns out dmen does not like what they see in foote, that's a big red flag. I'm guessing we will give him a multi year deal

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Loving all their Nuck trade activity.

Great job Allvin.

 

[timw33]

Loving all their Nuck trade activity.

Great job Allvin.

Yeah what the hell, there are dozens of players flying around in trades right now!

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

I'm thinking the Canucks move Hoglander tomorrow for a defensemen. we are gonna get Peeke and then sign Soucy

Hughes Soucy
Hronek Peeke
Hirose Wolanin/Myers

 

[me2]

FWIW - I suspect the "very tall defensemen" the Canucks are after is Soucy. Plenty of smoke there for a while.

I'm going to guess 3-years at $2.75M per.

Canucks will have been leaking a bit lately if that's the case. Might want to tighten up the leaks.

Second draft in a row where the player they liked in the draft was pretty clear before draft day.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

So far it looks like we bought out OEL just to get rid of him. I'd hate to see us spend all that cap on this putrid FA class.

 

[m9]

Hoping to see some movement with our wingers tomorrow. If nobody wants the expensive guys, maybe pivot to acquiring some draft capital or different positional prospects for Hoglander/Podkolzin.

I still would like to think that Garland, Boeser and Beauvillier could be worth something. But I'm probably wrong.

 

[Cancuks]

No more Euros, no more Americans. No team in history has won the Cup with a team with so few Canadian hockey players on its roster. Why are the Canucks trying to be a team with zero Canadian players? We have Beauvillier who will be traded this season and the other 3 Canadians on our team are AHLers. It's ridiculous.

 

[VanJack]

Canucks Army reporting via Rick Dhaliwal that Vancouver is one of a number of teams interested in Miles Wood, the impending Jersey Devils UFA forward. Still only 27 and coming off a 13-goal season.

And I see the Oilers are rumored to be cutting adrift Klim Kostin. I thought he looked decent for Edmonton in the playoffs.

Any interest from the Canucks in either guy? They might both come cheap.
