Canucks Contracts

I think you can assess it at the end of the year and go from there. As of right now he wouldn’t be overpaid at 5 million on a one year deal. Who knows? Maybe his play craters in the condensed season and you can get him back for 3 million. I don’t think he has any desire to play elsewhere though unless they really make him a rancid offer.

Schmidt will be a godsend as far as Edler's durability goes. He will be doing the heavy lifting now so Eddy can settle into a reduced roll. Watch him have a great year with the reduced work load

Lol why have two well rounded guys when you can have one? Schmidt has not been a staple on the PK like Edler has for a decade +. This team needs more good players, not less.

Schmidt is a much better player than Eddy is now and will absolutely be logging big minutes including on the PK. Hes not a one dimension player whatsoever.

BTW I'm not advocating losing Edler at all...quite the opposite

Actually, Eddy had very close to his best season, statistically, in 19/20. Only played 59 but solid numbers. LOL, not always with the most exceptional, low risk partners. This can be said for a few of his years.
Schmidt may be a better skater, particularly at this point, but FFS, who cares.. We need quality Dees. The style of game we play depends on it.
Not big and heavy, nope.. I like fast and furious. That works. We give up chances though. That aint gonna change this year. Maybe a hair.
Bottom six is still mid pack at best in the 31.

I am sure Edler has figured it out. Petey and Quinn get signed, then the scraps are fed to the dogs. Edler is one of the dogs next season.

He may be coming off of a great season, but, we have another whole season to go before he is re-signed. And, after that, Benning will look to sign him for what he is worth going forward, not for what he does this year. My guess is $2million, as that's about all we will have available for him.

Edler was a key piece for the defense that couldnt get the goddamn puck out of their own zone while Schmidt was a key piece for the opponent that was busy keeping that same puck in our zone.

Not heaping blame on Eddy but NS was all over the vancouver breakout and I'm very, very happy he's on our team

Guys, Edler's next contract is a 35+ one.

Meaning he can have a lower base salary plus bonuses.

If his play is good enough he'll trigger bonuses.

No doubt something fair for both sides can be worked out...

Great point Strangelove.

So what are you thinking... $2M base plus another 2 in potential bonuses?

Perhaps. It all depends on what kind of season he has this year.

I like what the Doc is presenting.

Ahhh, of course.

A pleasure chatting with you as always Doc...

Post holidays hangover has hit Strangelove hard.....he's forgetting to switch accounts.

You're' right and he likely will continue to be worth more after this season than they'll be able to afford so he'll have to take a decent chunk less than his open market value to remain here. I think the two dollar amounts you've noted are bang on.

Just talked with #Canucks F Micheal Ferland in Manitoba.

“There are good days and bad days, this last week has been tough because I can not be with my teammates. Being away from the team has been some of the toughest and hardest things in my life”

Ferland is okay with going on LTIR : “I am fine with that. Getting healthy first is my goal. I am not close to being at the NHL level and I have a ways to go.”

[Ferland has heard the calls to retire : “I hear a lot of it, from my wife and family and I understand. I just want to get healthy first”

Could be the end of it. Sure could have brought a ton to this team if not for the health issues.

What happened the last time you inexplicably and repeatedly shit all over a young Avs player? His name is Nathan something…. or was it Cale? You know the guy who ‘shouldn’t have even been a first round pick’

You’re 0/2, pretty sure you’ll be 0/3 if we look back on this post in a year or two.

[Chef Boi RD]

Nathan McKinnon is 37th in scoring - 1 goal 7 assists. Should we be concerned? Are we gonna have to rely on McDavid alone to beat the high flying Americans at the Olympics?
