Canucks News N Notes 24-25

[Strangelove]

M Pettersson re-signed. 5.5 mil per year for 6 years. Glad it is under 6 mil AAV.

Good signing, IMO.

Ah, some good news for a change. Thanks for that.

NMC for first 3 years, 15-team trade list for last 3...

[Chef Boi RD]

Bye bye Soucey, hello Marcus Pettersson and Elias D Pettersson

[Cousin Strawberry]

I was just listening to Fat Frank on H&B this am saying he's no better than a 4-5 mill/yr 4/5 damn at best

Fat Frank sure gets dug in and entrenched in his opinions on things. Kind of a blowhard

[Topper]

Appears to be a fair deal

[Picker of Cherries]

Less cap hit and term than I imagined. They probably had an outline of a deal before the trade. O’Connor likely soon to follow.

FF thinks 4/5 dmen get $5M-per?

Blowhard indeed.

Hehehehe. Poor guy.

Yeah he was putting up his fat little fingers to underscore on a Calgary podcast I happened across last week calling him a 'five'. He's completely out to lunch, no one credible thinks that.

That's still decent in my book. No problem there.

After he took a shit on Vancouver last year on Edmonton radio I'm surprised he still gerts on local programs. Sekeres and Price have seemed to dump him though, kudos for that I guess.

[Canuckbröd]

just like thank you Bo,

thank you JT


now if chytil can turn out to be a 2c

it'd be a win-win deal for both teams

[Hockey Widow]

We have 3 top 4 dmen signed. This is good. Hopefully goes a long way to helping keep Quinn in the fold when his time comes.

Good for Allvin to get this done now. Did he learn from last year? It would have been disastrous to see M Pettersson hit FA.

Realistically, you can say the Canucks have their top 6 D signed for next year already. For sure they have the top 4 signed.

Hughes (7.85 mil) - Hronek (7.25 mil)
M Petey (5.5 mil) - Myers (3 Mil)
D Petey (ELC) - Soucey (3 mil)

Also have Mancini signed for RD. Could easily bring back Forbort on the cheap for LD. Also Willander will probably be signed too.

Feels strange to pretty much have the D set in place for next season.

Now get Lankinen signed for around 2 - 2.5 mil then all you have to worry about next is fixing the top 6 Forward group.

I don't consider any of those other Dmen as top 4 at this point. So all I meant is we have a good top 3 and they are all signed. Yes we have a good supporting cast after that and hopefully someone emerges as a top 4.

[Lancer]

If he can be that good top-4 defenceman the team needs to contend 5-on-5 and on the PK, then $5.5 AAV is a good deal. If he can stay healthy, he appears to play a style that will age well with him.

If this is what a mid-to-high 1st-round pick gets you, I can’t complain. The guy has been invisible in the games I’ve seen, but in a good way. Like nothing really dynamic happens good or bad with him on the ice. That’s not a bad thing.

Thumbs-up on this not-quite-so-low-key bit of roster-building. Hope the scarecrow keeps it up.
