Pearson is a slightly worse version of Ferland.
In 2 months Ferland will be an overpaid version of Pearson.
ironically, pearson was considered overpaid two months ago.

What happens to RFA's that the Canucks don't come to agreeable terms with?
Do they just sit until traded?
kind of guy who should get a contract like 3 years 15 million but will get 5 years 25-30 million because teams lose their shit in free agency. I really don't trust any player coming off a career year heading into free agency.What's the scouting report on Dzingel? He's a UFA too I think, plays LW. Haven't watched him at all.
Thanks for that info.First you have to tender them a qualifying offer to retain their rights, typically current base salary with a 10-15% raise, the player can accept this and it's a one year deal, or they can decline (normal) and negotiate a different deal but the team retains their rights.
If the team doesn't tender a QO to an RFA they become a UFA.
that will put Ferland in Erikssonland in a few years.ironically, pearson was considered overpaid two months ago.
It's because Vancouver had no offensive talent in the system and with the Sedin's nearing the end of their rope we needed to gamble on the smaller boom bust guys with legit top six talent, not the safer pick who's potential wasn't as high but you'd at least get a Raffi Torres type player out of.
I'd imagine Flames fans were looking at having Gaudreau-Monahan in the system already and thinking the physical RW, an Iginla replacement if you will, would be a better fit there than another tiny winger.
Sign Zuccarello, i think he is the one decent scoring option that would sign for 2 years or less. I would also look at Stralman for a 2 year deal as well. The Canucks have to give themselves as much flexibility as possible for when Petterssons contract is up and for the expansion draft. I fully understand that they would have to be overpaid to take 2 years or less but dont think that would hurt the Canucks cap situation for the next 2 years.

Guys like Ryan Dzingel are the types you find and develop late in the draft. If this team can't produce a dzingel of their own then they aren't doing their jobs and need to be replaced like the Pro Scouting.
If you like sports at all, The Athletic is must-read material. The subscription cost is really cheap considering the amount and quality of the content. It is well worth the money!Could you directly quote the article where EP 'told' management that he wants a scoring winger..?.I'm sure most us can't read the article because its behind a paywall..thanks..
I would do Chris 56 game Tanev for Hoffman easyTanev for Hoffman?
Our first+ this year for Hall?
Jesus I could totally see that happening.If Dallas were clever I bet they could clown us on a Jamie Benn trade.

More than a 'nagging hunch' imo. From all reports Nashville wants to move PK and if they falter in the playoffs, the push could really be on. And of course Jimbo was fined by the NHL once before for expressing interest in PK when he was still with the Habs. So who knows?Dont roast me.....but for some reason I smell a trade offer for PK. Nagging hunch
Less cap space for Elmer to blow on another Louis E. type of player.For me the X-factor these next two seasons is what happens with Luongo's retirement & recapture.
I don't think Ferland is on the Canucks radar. He's not a true goal scorer that the Canucks need, he's a grinder who can pot the garbage goals when on the right line and is very very very streaky.
Benning I think will be more focused on getting more skilled players than Ferland on July 1, and Ferland isn't going to make it past the first day of UFA.
