Throw every last dime at Tavares and hope for the best.

I think they'll make an offer on Kane and that's about it. Don't need Bozak nor we do need a goalie lol.
what will they do with it? Overpay Kane for starters. If they're smart they'll be smart with the cap space and not marry themselves to any awful contracts Like Louie's. I doubt they'll show that much restraint though.
14 million is not a lot. Also it is 20 not 14. Problem facing the is what to do with the Sedins? And the bigger question is do they embrace the rebuild? This thread is more about dumping bad contracts on the Canucks. Problem will be how many and how long are they for? The nucks may take on one or two bad contracts but only for a max of two years and nothing more. I despise the nucks owner but he does not like to give money away, so thinking that he will take on a bad contract of say 4 to 6 mill a year and be happy about it? I do not think so. We are seeing how their youth is playing and they might just decide to keep playing them and not take on say a Lucic who would take time away from the youth. We are not Arizona, we actually want to win

We will most certainly overpay for everyone, spend to the cap, and be the worst team in the league for the next 3 years at least.

Depends. Do Canucks fans think they have a shot with Petersson, Boeser, Horvat, and let's assume they get Zadina or Dahlin?
If you think that's good enough, you get price from Montreal and go for it.

Why would it be a stupid signing? He’s a veteran centre. Depending on the price it would probably be a good deal for Vancouver.

Seems look every year they have lots of cap space... Which they then blow on inexplicable vet free agent signings. I see a Bozak and a Green in their future.
Let's also keep in mind the Canucks need to sign 2 dmen and 4 forwards with that cap. It's not as much as people think. If they blow most of it on Tavares or Kane, things would be tight.

Depends on whether or not ownership is willing to commit to the rebuild plan. So far, it seems, the mantra has slowly gone from "keep winning" to "keep competitive" to "OK, fine, let's rebuild".
I think it was only last year that Linden finally said the team was rebuilding. So it has always been a bit reluctant from the top to go this direction. If they stay the course, they could bring in cap dumps with that cap-space. But if they think they can take a shortcut then they will splurge on free agents.

I'm willing to hedge all our bets on Demko so no to another goalie..
