At the rock fight,
Tonight there's gonna be a rock fight
I have to look into the cock fights
There might even be a big fight…

Armchair GMing bigly here. How about signing Toffoli and letting Marky walk. Then trading Louie for Lundquist. Lundquist might wave to come to Vancouver since he has been displaced in NY by a couple kids in net, and Vancouver has a history with Swedes. So instead of a cap hit of 6m for Louie for two more years after this one, and probably close to 6 million for Marky for multiple years (which would be around 12m all together). They could have a 8.5m cap hit from Lundquist for only one year. The Rags are going to have a hard time finding another team that can take an 8.5 million cap hit. They would save 2.5m in cap space next season and they are going to be cap tight. But they’d have to carry Louie for the following season if they can’t convince him to retire or pay Seattle to claim him in the expansion draft. The Canucks would go with Demko and Lundquist for one season and then when it is time to sign Petey and Hughes they are free of both Louie’s and Lunquist’s cap hits.

If Demko and DiPietro play well next year, the following year the Canucks could go with them. And if one doesn’t play well they could probably trade with Seattle after the expansion draft for another goalie, or sign a FA after Petey and Hughes are locked up.

Bit of a long shot for lundqvist, but an interesting target for sure there Cherry.


canucksway talking about going after Alex Pietrangelo.
Pietrangelo might not be at the top of the Canucks’ offseason wish list, but they should at least explore him if he hits the open market.

Certainly would stabilize the defense core for the next 7-8 years, also would mean likely Tanev/Marky/Stecher let go for cap space.

I like the thought that went into this post.

So you think AP will be worth the $8M (or more) that he will be seeking when he's 38 years old? And if he's signing for 8 years you can almost guarantee his agent will be asking for a contract that factors in the inevitable inflation that's happened when he's halfway through his contract.

Big pass I think.

I’m curious to see what Petro gets. I think it will be more than 8 per. We could only offer a 7 year deal. So that takes him to 37. Shea Weber is 35 and still playing great hockey. I don’t see Pietrangelo aging like Brent Seabrooke. I think he’d be a great signing but this team doesn’t have the space.

Good point. What a shitty time to be heading into your big payday.

I would love to see tha canucks land a piece like that where they need the most help though. I might find ways to move mountains if the player was interested

What a great player though. He got ripped off this year. Was looking to be his career best.
Got his cup though finally.
Way better overall then EK. IMO.

We have a bit too much deadweight on the roster now. But adding a guy like Petro who is a top 5 player in the game at his position would be a definite game changer. Maybe they can take a run at Seth in a couple years.

It would take Eriksson self terminating plus losing a big ticket from the roster but it could be arranged....Its entirely up to that player though.

He has zero ties to the team, any players on the team or the city so highly unlikely
