Well RD is speculating that we might offer 7*7 to myers. That would put us in cap hell

Dzingel 26 goals
Myers 9 goals


Leivo 14 goals
Hutton 5 goals

If it was so cut and dry.

Maybe this is why so many are horribly disappointed when signings come in and don't live up to their cap hit

About one of their former good players who they couldn’t get signed? Yeah, I expect a level-headed response over there

There is a few kids I wouldn't mind see how they stack up vs the older more mature players at camp.

Well, turns out Karlsson isnt participating in on-ice activities, so one player of interest down

I also see Craig Button has gone off the rails. I have a hard time buying Montreal's got the top prospects of Canadian teams

Just saw a draft questionnaire filled out by Byram where he states that his fav player growing up was Alex Burrows. Aw.

Also says that his secret talent is - and I quote - “I can Juggling”.

I'll be happy to defend that signing! Imagine all that tail he'd get atthe Roxy! He's a big man, so obviously big feet and you know what they say about that

7x7 is not a big deal....in 3 years $7 will be the same as 4.5 today.....immediately adds size, is a right-handed shot a huge target for Edler to drop pass to....

Big shoes

Myers overrated & will be overpaid

23 more goals scored than Vancouver last season. Lead to 6 less wins and 11 more loses.

So to answer your question, no.

Big picture here

Benning paid the 1st for Miller to save space for Myers instead of overpaying an older UFA winger

The combined 11M for Myers + Miller is solid and drastically improved the roster for a reasonable cost

They don’t have Edler, Tanev, Myers, Hughes and Stecher as a top 5 with a solid starter like Markstrom

Huge difference

Ok, (frank) it, sign Myers, trade for Barrie. Let’s do this!

Plus, if they really are going to sign both Myers and Gardiner, there’s just no room.

it's awesome to see that the canucks are ready to compete. i just hope that the team goes uber-benning this summer. if they really want to re-make the d, sign myers to whatever he wants. give winnipeg a pick to trade for his rights so you can sign him to an 8 year deal. 7 is good but 8's great!

and then go all in to get barrie. why wait until next year? they absolutely need to make the playoffs and barrie is the missing piece.

benning has shown that he's a fair negotiator. he'll get it done!

Do we know why Karlsson isn't participating?

Button is such a one man hype show.

VGK is in a world of cap hurt. My focus is there.

You poses the question more goals more wins, no? Obviously scoring goals is a must but so is playing defence.

That would be a fair price to pay for Barrie. Trader Jim gets good value in trades so let him work his magic.
Sign Barrie for the max 8 so you'd essentially have him for 9 years.
It's a no brainer.

They can't officially sign Karlsson because they would exceed the cap would they not?
