He’s not even in sight of Crosby's career at this point. And given how hard it is to win these days, I’d say it’s fairly unlikely he ever comes close to the career Sid has had. Sid’s career is what fairy tales are written about | Sid is legendary
McDavid is a different category of superstar though

just scoped out presale prices with rogers code. lowest price available right now is $630 in the lower bowl lol. nothing in upper bowl was listed as available. not sure if that's because they're already sold out or holding out until monday 10am.

Crosby is the definition of living up to the hype, he's won everything plus the golden goal on home soil I don't think McDavid can match him when it comes to accomplishments. Talent wise McDavid is next gen for sure, hopefully he doesn't go down as the best player ever to never win a cup though.

Joshua is the type of player that could be an X factor if he can get that line going back to how they were prior to his injury.
If that line gets going again it takes a lot of pressure off the top line and maybe they can get going again

Joshua is a big help for the PP.
I really hope that Allvin can sign this player in the offseason. He is a great player to have with his size, physical play, and scoring ability.

Canucks have a few players going into UFA status where the Canucks are kind of responsible for their progression and stature in the league, like Joshua
Would be nice to see some of them show a bit of loyalty and take a bit of a discount even if it meant signing a longer term deal. However, I wouldn’t fault Joshua for leaving and taking big money elsewhere. A guy like him might only get one chance and it could be the difference between 10 and 20 million over the course of his career

Joshua was not cracking the lineup prior to Canucks. As effective as he has been for us, by the end of the season he'll have 30~ points in 60~ games. He had 23 points last season and 9 points in the 2 years before that combined. He's also 28 soon.
His production at its best is similar to Blueger and Suter, who we signed for $1.9mil and $1.6mil. I don't see any team giving him a multi-year $4mil/yr contract. So, realistically, the number will be between $2 mil to $3mil.
I think it'll be a $2mil x 2 yr deal (or $2.5mil x 1 yr) for him to continue to play with the best players in the league, to prove that the year wasn't a fluke. He's thriving with Tocchet's system and the players here, I can see him staying. If he goes elsewhere, that might be his last contract ever if they don't play him the same way.

No way.
He will get easy 3.5-4 x 3-4 from another team, no problem.
The win for the Canucks would be somthing like 3x4 for him. Which would be him actively taking a discount to stay with the Canucks.

Extremely concerning this top team was barely able to beat a tired bottom dwelling team.
And it took a bottom 6 forward to show up to make it happen.

News is saying Hronek turned down $6.5M a year, wants 8+... he can fuck off at that price, 45pts is replaceable.

If anything, probably 7-8M. If he can get 8M+ from another team, he should go for it.

Free agent news more like it.... i wouldn't be happy about missing out on 6.5m on my ass waiting for good news after i shot myself in the foot.
performance = more pay... he isn't him.

Hronek has a career year playing beside Hughes.. gee, I wonder why.
Good player but he can walk if he thinks he should be paid more than Huggy.

Hronek's offesnsive sizzle has died down significantly too and Tanev doesn't have the offense, but he's probably better defensively and would be less than half the price plus Hughes loves the guy. Could probably save at least $10M going this route... and even if Tanny can only play a couple more years we've got the other Elias Pettersson in development now Or hopefully Wallinder progresses nicely... and I'm sure some other options will come available.

Yeah, as much as I like Hronek he absolutely should not be making more than QH. Even paying him between 7-8M is an overpayment. His assist last night was his first point in weeks. Good defenseman but he doesn't have the stats to backup that kind of a payday.

Yea the prices were crazy but they obviously saw the opportunity to charge out the ass given the rise in popularity given the turn around season
Can only imagine what deeper rounds would cost
