Keith Weber
Seabrook Tanev
Edler Gudbrandson

Price

I think that roster might make the playoffs

Why would you keep Edler?
Replace him with Hutton and Tryamkin and that's a championship team.

The UFA interview period started, #Canucks have called the agent for Thomas Vanek, just expressing interest.

1-2 mill or GTFO.

Vanek is not main target for VAN but if they don't get big names, they would circle back to Vanek. #Canucks

Yeah, that is the problem with the proposal.

Not enough heart. He will never be good in the playoffs.

Perfect for Vancouver then.

Frans Neilson is 32. I thought he was way younger.

I would have no problem trading Edler.

UFA open season makes me nervous.

Thank you, I was thinking the same thing.

- Marwood

It makes me nervous too because of the knucklehead we've got for a GM! I love him for his drafting though, and think he's gonna assemble a very good team thru the draft in three to four years.

Just to be fair.

What could go wrong? You don't think Lucic will be worth 7 mill in 2022?

I'm worried that ownership is pushing to build a playoff team now and therefore makes big but unnecessary signings to appease a hysterical fanbase and local media just to get post season revenue.

Ya there's that too...

I also think Ladd is going to start declining shortly as well. Eriksson has concussion issues but is coming off a great season and has chemistry with the twins. I would like to see Boedker and Eriksson.

Sedin-Sedin-Eriksson
Boedker-Sutter-Hanson

You can line juggle Hanson and Eriksson and it would stil look good.

This is my ideal top 6 for us this year as well.

Not that it is an ideal top 6, but given our situation I think it would be good.

If any of the young prospects make a push they will make room for them. They need to be careful with the NTC's. I would be okay if they came up empty handed in free agency if the price and terms were unrealistic. Been down that Rodeo before.

Like Marwood says....I think there's pressure from ownership to compete while the Sedins are still here. That could lend itself to some poor decisions regarding term and movement clauses, unfortunately.

Benning will likely overpay and offer to long of a term for a UFA. It's crazy season and I don't think UFA's will sign here unless we sweeten the pot. Not signing a UFA is simply not an option. People will scream and cry for a few days and then calm down when they realize the sky hasn't fallen.

I can see the future

Stupid is as stupid does. Set the rebuild back 5 years for an opportunity to finish in the middle of the pack.
