I don’t really care if they sign him or not. I only care that a thing that the GM wanted to do he was unable to do because of other things he did that are stopping him from things he wants to do.

Really well put. He's been his own worst enemy in building the team he thinks can win it all

That isn’t how I read it. The contract can’t be for this year, unless it was to “burn a year”, which in this case it isn’t the case. The holdup is the Canucks aren’t willing to add a one-way contract for next season because of their salary uncertainty.

Can they even sign contracts for next year right now? I haven't seen anyone sign players for next year that aren't for this year as well.

The Canucks can't sign him for this year, they're waiting to see how they're going to play things out after the playoffs, he doesn't want to wait that long especially as the KHL starts up soon.

Apparently you hate the team and you hate hockey if you feel this way. Try being less miserable.

My lurking has picked up since the momentum for hockey returning has increased. It's nice to have some legit things to talk about in the main thread

As long as I'm told that.
Also, it was in jest so maybe you need to chill the fawk out.

I think they can? I was perusing CapFriendly's recently signed list and saw that Nashville signed some UFA AHLer to a contract for next year.

I do agree with Vintsy and think that the contract values for Toffoli, Markstrom, Tanev, and/or the RFA's was the reason for the delay. I also bet they will be evaluating whether their "Black Aces" defensemen could be that bottom pairing filler to save cap space next year

I'm amazed this got so much press, dog days of summer. Doesn't bother me one bit. I'm still happy about Rathbone, that's news!
