regarding Mackinnon he took a pay cut, he was a leader from day 1, 60+ points in D+1, 50+ points in D+3/4 in a very bad COL team. You may argue he was worth 5/6m on a bridge deal but he took 6 years which is a pay cut because it gives visibility to the team over this period.
Regarding Hughes, I don t see comps justifying giving him North of 7m… but I am not as high as most Canucks fans on him.
You can argue that he took a team-friendly deal and less than his value but there is no logical way to call a $2.525 million pay raise is a pay cut.
[MacKinnon, with performance bonuses, made $3.775 million on his elc and then went to making $6.3 million.]
Pay cut vs market - team friendly deal are we arguing about semantics ?
Should EP make more or less than Miro Heiskanen (Dallas, defense, 9.45)?
PS. Don't answer "more or less" now...

We traded 90A+2nd round pick. Why are you acting like we couldn't have spent that on a better D instead of bringing Edler back?
Yeah but he will have JUST turned 33, which you know, is like almost 32 stillAsk again in 3 years when OEL is 33 and still has 3 years to go on his contract.
Bieksa was 33 years old when he last was a Canuck (and he was awful). And Hamhuis was 32 years old when Benning kicked him to the curb (didn't even bother trading him for anything).Yeah but he will have JUST turned 33, which you know, is like almost 32 still

Don't know. Hockeydb has him at 6'1" and Elite Prospects at 6'2". Both have him at 192 lbs.Is he 6'3" now? He was listed as 6'2" at the time of the draft.
IMac speculating on Sportsnet that the Canucks enough cap room to sign either Pettersson or Hughes to a long-term contract, but not both. So one guy will have to settle for a bridge deal.
I suppose the positive, is that both guys are represented by the same agent, who knows all their is to know about the Canucks cap situation.
So assuming only one long-term contract, who would you sign?
Speculation is that it'll be Hughes on the long term deal. But then again, he may want a bridge deal to retain the option of playing with his brothers in Jersey some day....but who knows?
But I suppose the 'positive' in all this is that going into the off-season, the best they could have done was a bridge deal for both. Now they've cleared enough space to tie up one player for the long term.
Hamhuis was 33 and turning 34 the year he left the Canucks. Bieksa was the same except he turned 34 in June in the year he left the Canucks.

The fact that the team can't afford to go long with both their superstar players is completely f***ing stupid. Regardless if the team or player wanted to, the fact that they don't even have the option to, is downright embarrassing.
