Rumor: Toffoli deal looks to be done?

[krutovsdonut]

Where did you read this? I've seen no reporting on Tanev one way or the other, which I suppose might indicate there's little contact between the parties, but no one's reported that no conversations are taking place as far as I've seen.

the silence fuels the idea the canucks are trying to make a trade to fill a right dman slot and in the process ease their cap situation a little. i believe it is more likely they are trying to upgrade stecher but tanev will go if they land a big fish.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Is Woo ready for bottom pairing yet?

Stecher, Myers, Woo?

I think Juolevi will be the first in line. He looks to have really jumped up the list this last year.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

My personal opinion is that we will negotiate resigning tanev, still. Benning has been on record saying we’d like him back. He was good for Hughes (and vice versa). I feel like tanev wants to come back too. We still have about 2-2.5 weeks before free agency. Hoping the toffoli signing will be a domino affect.

 

[Michoulicious]

Short answer is, he won’t.
But something has to give with all the bad contracts that still have at least a year to run. We can maybe afford two out of the three of Toffoli, Tanev and Markstrom. I think if the contract discussions go poorly with Markstrom they’ll move on to Tanev. But he’s clearly third on the list. At almost 31 with his injury history I would be reluctant to go too long term. But he’s been a great guy to play with Quinn Hughes.

That D will be really bad without Tanev. I think it is a big mistake if they can't bring back a top 4 D that is solid defensively.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

I think it would be Rafferty, he had a really good offensive year in Utica - 45pts in 57 games I think

Brogan Rafferty is closer, then probably Jack Rathbone, then Woo.

Boo...
Been amped to see him play, really wanted FLA to take him with 34th that year.
Guess a year or two in AHL would do him good for now.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Sounds more and more marky may be gone so we could (still) resign tanev

I still think there’s a decent chance he’s back. But it will depend on his demands and how much salary they can move. I think until that happens they can’t really talk numbers with him.
In my ideal scenario we sign Toffoli and Tanev and let Markstrom go. Then sign a vet goalie to split starts with Demko. The goaltending takes a step back but the forwards take a step forward.

I think he can be a solid 3rd pairing physical defender but I agree 2 years in the A will help him polish his game.

Question for Van fans. Is it still assumed that they will only sign one of Tanev and Toffoli? Does this mean Tanev is probably hitting the open market?

Depends on what happens with Markstrom. If he goes than they’ll have room for Tanev.

I think we sign two out of the three of Toffoli, Markstrom and Tanev. If Toffoli is basically done then it’s one of two of Markstrom and Tanev. Signing Markstrom is complicated as the Canucks want to keep their options open between Markstrom and Demko with the expansion draft.

Without cap dump moves, it's more a 2 of 3 situation with Marky, Tanev and Toffoli.

We have time to adjust, Benning is always working the phones.

No. At this point most Canucks fans assume Markstrom will sign elsewhere and that the team may be negotiating with other players with this in mind.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Wouldn't be too bad depending on the deal, obviously.

5.25 x 4

I forgot about Juolevi, who IMO is NHL ready now, so Woo is 4th.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

very interested to see this contract because I think it will give an idea of what Palmieri might make

 

[Paulinvancouver]

Wheeeeeeee!!!!!!! Toffoli 5x5.5!!!

does this mean we have to keep Pearson now?

 

[Michoulicious]

That is a lot.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Probably in the 5 x $5.5m range give or take.

 

[themelkman]

Feel like its gotta be 6x5. No reason he would stick unless it was a good deal. He wouldve been highly sought by all the teams needing top 6 rw

 

[trellaine201]

Apparently basically no conversations, I think he is gone.

Is Vancouver in cap trouble

 

[Disappointed EP40]

I really liked the Toffoli addition.
Top six is looking great for the first time in a long while with the additions of Toffoli, Pearson and JT Miller in the last year and a bit.
Now let’s fix that D!

The D is good.

It's miraculous what defensive capable forwards do for a team; that's what this team is lacking IMO.

Our D was absolute trash, edler is a shell of himself and Tanev is made out to be something greater than he is when it comes to ability. One injury to Myers and this team spent like 75% the playoffs in their own zone.
