Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Playing on the fourth line with a defensive first responsibility might be exactly what Hoglander needs to grow into the complete player Bruce wants. Way too early to give up on this kid, and he’s a great insurance policy as soon as there is an injury in the top nine.

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Hoglander doesn’t affect the cap. It seems like he is one of the candidates that replaces whichever winger with a larger cap hit is traded away. The Canucks have used their highest draft picks on wingers, so winger with larger cap hits - Boeser, Garland, Pearson, Dickinson - are the logical guys to ...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

The season after this, if they sign Bo to 7m, Kuzmenko to 3.5m and Hoglander and Schenn to 1.5m (assuming they earn it) and let Dermott walk, replacing him with an ELC contract defensemen, they will be over the cap by about 3.4m. They could probably fit everyone in if Kuzmenko is a bust and let him ...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Everybody comfortable with this? The question should be, “Anybody comfortable with this?” My guess is nobody is comfortable with this, but after Miller signed, it is what it is for now, at least until a trade is made. Maybe the forward depth removes most of the pressure off the defence? Poolman is ...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

Hoglander might be the tenth forward going into the season. But what are the odds that one of the top nine is injured before the season starts. He has enough experience with this team to seamlessly slip right into a top nine roll when someone gets injured or underperforms. Also his cheap contract ma...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

After the Miller signing, this season’s line-up looks set with no significant changes on the defence, but improved forward depth. Most of their contracts run through next season which means cap space will be tight next summer. They have enough room to sign Horvat, but if Kuzmenko has a big season an...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

I was expecting 8x 8.5m, so 7x 8m is better than I expected. Needs to give five years of point per game play (including this season) and a few playoff runs to make me wrong that signing him was a mistake. I hope I’m wrong. We’ll see…

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

You have to pay for average right side defensemen. Gudbranson got 4 x 4m. :shock:
Most of those guys will sign before getting to free agency. If the few that make it to market have decent seasons, they’ll command big bucks.

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

So, can they get a good RHD in FA if they have 9.5 million cap space available by just letting Miller walk as a UFA? I’d prefer that than signing him to 9.5m x 8. Best to trade him and get assets, second best is letting him walk if that is the type of contract his play commands. IMO, signing him wo...
