As Bennings right hand man, I'm sure you'll talk some sense into him.

LUcic 20 goals 6 years 6 mil or Colborne 3 years 2.5 McGinn 3 years 3.5. mil 39 goals?

Depends on Larsen...if we are signing him we don't need Schultz, he is a disaster in his own end
- CanuckDon

not sure if we CAN sign larsson till hes back registered with NHL. Dont recall what the contingent here is.

BUt yes schutlz is not the guy on a team with own end issues. Might as well have THIS schultz



btw I am hoping they keep Juolevi for the max 9 games. Give him a taste to help him along

Vantel said he going to Edmonton.
Has he been wrong yet?

Canadian Tire thinks otherwise.

I think a lot depends on Tryamkin too. Because he can't exactly be moved to the AHL, it puts us in a situation where we dont have alot of room to bring in anyone else unless we kobe someone out. Larsen just further complicates that and I really hope he signs a two way contract so it's easier to keep him. Neither have proved anything yet and I look foreward to next season and how they do in camp.

the salary cap that continues to screw the players over in new and creative ways with this getting bubble players to sign for peanuts.

also the pens have their cup win as leverage ...you want to play for a team that just won the cup take less or bye.....no "thanks for helping us win, heres a 10% raise".

Poor bastards having to take a pay cut and 16-18% escrow on top of that.

yes they make tons of $ and we all envy their contracts.

But in terms of fair CBA and their share of the pie from what they do....and remember THEY are the product....the owners screwed them badly.
Teams are making tons and hiding lots of revenue streams. Plus teams often get government funding on top of their share.

but this wasnt intended to start a debate on the CBA either.

Apparently some of the players CGY did not qualify was to avoid arbitration. We should try and snag Colborne out from under them.

what does it take to do it?

I can't believe anyone is debating LUcic 6x6 . When I suggested last year when Canucks were soft he had 2 years left. Signing him now for 6 years

Enjoy Edmonton Milan

Finally a voice of reason, Where the (frank) you been all day....I was almost ready to concede to Lucic signing.

I'm going to owe $20 to his charity when Hamhuis doesn't sign

Canucks should save some cap space and grab a couple of these guys cheap for depth
- CanuckDon

This is what I've advocated all day, screw UFA's, go and get some released players, save the over payment and long term. They are not worth it in future years.

Well said but you know this won't fly with current ownership and the 'win now' program…

I don't think anyone has specifically stated that we wanted anyone long term. If we do sign a big name FA I would hope it's max 4 years with more money. I agree we should sign cheaper options but will that happen? We will find out soon enough. 3 days.
