Yeahno, get 34-year-old UFA Filppula in here on a one or two year deal.
He can still easily handle 2nd line icetime and, unlike Gagner, is great in the dot...

Re: Canucks News and Notes 2017-2018
*shudders* at the thought of Sutter as the 2nd line center.
He's the anti-passer, he can't setup his mates on the wing at all.
I'd rather the SL mediocre ideal of signing Flip.
I guess just to go against my post entirely, and everyone is against having Gagner as a placeholder on the 2nd line, a good fit would be to sign Bozak, who when he was a younger feller painted his face black in a poor choice for a costume.
And like EKane he's been kinda rumoured to be a top target for the Canucks since Gillis was here many moons ago.

Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Another guy who might be interesting is Riley Nash,he looked good filling for Bergeron in the playoffs, but due to his age he’ll prolly wanna cash in.Strangelove wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 12:38 pm Yeahno, get 34-year-old UFA Filppula in here on a one or two year deal.

Now let's just make sure that if he isn't quite ready for the regular season in the NHL that it's Utica he spends a little time if necessary, not some wierd option in Sweden, right?
I'm joking. There is not a doubt in my mind, that he plays in the bigs. Why ? Cause Aqua man will say so.

Re: Canucks News and Notes 2017-2018
I am so relieved. I really thought he wouldn’t sign and eventually he would renter the draft with us only getting a second as compensation. We dodged a bullet. Whew!!
The only HW the Canucks need

Good interview. Sounds like, if all goes well, they will not hesitate to give him a roll at center sooner than later.

Re: Canucks News and Notes 2017-2018
Pettersson says he feels ready for the NHL and comfortable at centre or wing.
Says he's up to 177 lbs now and can begin full training in 3 weeks (when thumb is healed).

As expected, Pettersson got all the max bonuses in his contract. #Canucks
