Does anyone care about the musings of Nichols or Dreger?

 

[Toby Flenderson]

What’s his price tag?

 

[GoldiFox]

LeBrun (The Athletic) mentioned again today that the ask for Ferland is still a “1st and a prospect”

 

[Patagonia]

Why wouldn't VAN wait to UFA?

The team is rebuilding and not in a position to move prospects or picks.

That seems pretty high, no?

 

[Canucks LB]

What is the price tag?

As a fit goes, he is absolutely perfect.
We badly need a young tough player who can score and can protect guys like EP40

Jim Benning likes his targets

Probably depends how the market plays out for him but I would assume the ask is still high right now but could drop depending on whether it is a buyers or sellers market....He is probably a true rental though Lebrun was saying he is looking for an Evander Kane type contract in the off season.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I'm at the point in which I'd rather just see the Canes trade him for the best return and wish him well. With the type of player he is, the number of teams interested and his contract year production, he's going to get paid in the Summer. His next contract has the potential to be really ugly.

 

[GoldiFox]

He’s been an impact top line forward for the Canes. He’s nasty and physical every single shift. Game made for the Playoffs and he is playing well this year.

I want the Canes to re-sign him. They should get at least a late 1st for him. Perhaps they deal him in a bigger trade with a RHD.

Could be Clarkson levels bad. His game is good, but it'll probably fall off a cliff quickly like Lucic too

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Canucks don’t have the assets to trade. Make a pitch in free agency although the price will likely be high.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

He would be a great addition. I don't think the Canucks are the team to trade for him but maybe Free Agency.

 

[crackdown44]

Dreger: “If Ferland goes to free agency any team will be able to sign him. Half might try to #insider”

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

For sure free agent target for Canucls.

Before TDL.. doubt it.

Lucic had 650+ NHL games when he signed his deal. Ferland will have ~320 by the time he signs.

Always a risk but Ferland was a late bloomer. Should have some good years in him.

Clarkson was around 425 or so. I hope he doesn't bust out, but he just fits the profile that I've seen before.

 

[McBackup]

Please no.

Yeah he could have, but he's going to get paid this summer, and carries a ton of risk.

Gm's in July just don't seem to be able to think.

 

[super6646]

Flames really shouldn't at that price. He was a great guy here, but he doesn't really have a spot here, and frankly we need to move on.

 

[Nucker42]

Would love Ferland... maybe something around Goldobin and a pick?

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

is Ferland that good? He's being talked about like a superstar difference maker.

He is?

Ferland's a beast, but he's not protecting anybody. Nobody ever once stopped f***ing with Gaudreau because Micheal Ferland was the #1RW.
