If Z also takes a discount at 4.75mil, replace lafferty with 775k player, replace myers and Cole with 775k players, and desmith or Silovs for 1.25mil, there's 9.3mil for guentzel.

If they want stronger d pairing, either will need to trade another to make space or get a cheaper winger in FA instead of Guentzel.

Gar and Dak drive that line. In the beginning of the season they were centered by Suter before he got injured. They were already playing amazing without Blueger

Blueger is only on a 2 year, he's getting a chance to show he belongs in the NHL and if he does he'll get paid. He's been a pretty fringe guy for the most part.

IMO, I think we should re-sign Myers at a discounted rate if doable, somewhere in the range of 2.25 range if he wants to stay and agree with Zadorov's number at 4.75 max would be good.

Myers is gonna stay imo there’s no reason not to keep him

Love the deal for Dak as long as he plays how he did this year. Has to hit 15 to 20 goals and be top 10 in hits. If he regresses into a 10 goal guy or battles injuries, it won't look good.

Pumped that the third line is sticking together.

I bet Myers will get better options in Free Agency, depends how much of a discount he wants to take to stay with the team. I would be happy with a 3 x 3.

We need some of the younger guys from Abbotsford to step up and fill holes. Succesfull teams always have young studs playing on entry level deals. Need guys like Pods, Ratu, Karlsson, McWard to step up so we can get a top winger for Petey.

haha true. Sometimes we average joes forget that what these entertainers make in a year is what some of us make in a lifetime. As for Blueger as a hockey player he won the dream with Vegas last year. Something money can't buy and not everyone is lucky to achieve. All you have to do is look at the Canuck players hanging up in the rafters.

That's a wicked price for Dak, fantastic news.

I didn't want to see him go.

If you want to keep both Myers and Z, then youll have to get a cheaper winger in FA in the 5-7mil range

Myers just signed 3x3!

A tad higher than what I wanted, but still a discount anyway since he could have gotten more elsewhere.

Now we don't have enough money for Zad and Guentz, unless PA and JR can pull off some magic

$3M for Myers is good, that's what I would've liked PA/JR to sign him for

Allvin is cooking with all the players that he signed so far during the past few weeks. Good job!

Guentzel as hottest free agent ... almost always, they turn out to be a flop as the hype jacks up the price, they get this long ass contract like 7 or 8 yrs. Can you think of a hot free agent in the past few years that has turned out well? I can only think of bad ones like Tavares, Kahdri, Jack Campbell, Johnny Gaudreau

Ken Holland GM of Oilers steps down or mutually agree to part with Oilers.

Wow, they signed myers first..... That might mean we can't agree on # with Z.

Or... With the rumors about bringing back desmith, it's possible Demko is not ready to return. In which case, we can still afford everyone using LTIR

Meyers is a perfect signing especially for the price, he would of been better at 2 years but I'm ok with a 3rd since he is a RHD and a big body.

Hughes wins the Norris Trophy!

Wow nice, I didn't think he'd ever get recognized out here... first time a Canuck has ever won it!

Congrats to Hughes! Although that announcement should have gone in the 2023-24 thread...

He got 172 of the 190 first place votes if I heard right, well done

Allvin cooking indeed

Classy speech by Hughes, giving kudos to other nominees ... let's see if the embed function works. Yes it does !! Swipe once for vid.

I love watching Hughes. Him and Demko. Really glad he got the recognition

This team could be special if they can build a strong enough team around these two and Petey, and they stay healthy. They have 3 seasons to do so I think.

Petey needs to stop taking media lessons from Hronek tho lol
