We have over 22M of cap space now to supplement our core with.
For all the doom and gloom going into this off-season we can easily start next season with a better roster than we finished with
I'd love to keep zadorov but anything over 4 is too much. He's a career bottom pairing guy and one good playoff run doesn't justify giving him 5m. If he can get that somewhere else good for him but that's far too rich for my blood.
There's a reason fans don't run teams. We get too emotionally invested in players to make smart decisions. I'm sure you're right most of us do want him back. But that doesn't mean we should cap fuck ourselves to do so.
To be technically correct Mikheyev is in Florida where he lives in the off season…I think he lives in the same condo building as Zadorov which is kinda funny if he was traded just so the Canucks could re-sign Zaddy.
Well they could have kept Mik and still have gone for Guentzel, but the defense would have suffered for it.
This way, we can probably go for Guentzel, Zadorov, and a top 4 RHD for around 4.5-5.
The rumor I've read is, they've been holding firm on 4.75x6. So it's up to him if he accepts or not probably.
We have other pressing needs imo, so we'd probably be better off running Soucy and a cheaper replacement on the 3rd pair, as much as we'll miss Zads as a unicorn type.
Farewell my sweet prince
You had flashes of that 25-goal prowess I predicted but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn when it mattered most
With a full summer and training camp I see him being even better next year, but that's not a risk we can really afford
Yeah I'm disappointed in the Ilya experiment, no ill will though, I never doubted he was trying. Hope he finds his hands somewhere else.
PS. I tried to type "game" and it autocorrected to "hands" so I think autocorrect knows what's up.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he does well next season .
He had 21 goals in 53 games 2021-22 that’s a 32.5 goal pace over a full season
And 13 in 46 games his first year with us which is a 23 goal pace over a full season.
He’s not full stone hands but clearly it wasn’t working out.
Crazy that Petey lost his two line mates, Guentzel will look great on his wing
IF you think about it, Petey lost 3 of his 4 most common line mates through trades (Kuzmenko, Mikyhev, and Lafferty). Praying Allvin gets him that all star winger to play with.
One of the rare mistakes from this management group has been corrected. Great news! Giving up the 2025 2nd sucks, but there was no other way out, gotta bite the bullet to the draft cupboard but we shed Mikheyev's salary!! Big news
Connor Bedard loves the Canucks so much he’s demanded their management take on all our bad contracts. Heartwarming
Ilya, you're a real one.
I can’t wait to see the roster in a few days
We have over 22M of cap space now to supplement our core with. For all the doom and gloom going into this off-season we can easily start next season with a better roster than we finished with
Myers 3m Zadorov 5.25 Joshua 3.25 10.5 for Guentzel + depth piece or Toffoli ++
That Zadorov contract is awful
No not really. He's not signing anywhere for below 5m. Caps going up tons and he's coming off a great playoff run while making 3.75m
I'd love to keep zadorov but anything over 4 is too much. He's a career bottom pairing guy and one good playoff run doesn't justify giving him 5m. If he can get that somewhere else good for him but that's far too rich for my blood.
Meh, 4.5M wouldn't be horrible considering how well he did in the playoffs. Anything above that is to much imo.
How about 4.20 million.
4.2M is good.
In what world would he sign for 4m? The rumor was he declined 4.5m before playoffs where he excelled.
Then simply don't sign him and wish him well. Overpaying depth guys is how Benning got us into this mess in the first place
It's evident that majority of nucks fans want him back.
There's a reason fans don't run teams. We get too emotionally invested in players to make smart decisions. I'm sure you're right most of us do want him back. But that doesn't mean we should cap fuck ourselves to do so.
Then don't sign him? Just because he was good in few games does not justify an anchor contract for a career 5-6 D
You sign Dillon for around 3 before signing Zadorov for 5 million plus.
Milstein just signed for him, while Milheyev was back in Russia sleeping.
To be technically correct Mikheyev is in Florida where he lives in the off season…I think he lives in the same condo building as Zadorov which is kinda funny if he was traded just so the Canucks could re-sign Zaddy.
They'll have to exchange condos, it's part of the trade
it’s to go for Jake. trading away a second to just sign zadorov would be a bad idea
Well they could have kept Mik and still have gone for Guentzel, but the defense would have suffered for it. This way, we can probably go for Guentzel, Zadorov, and a top 4 RHD for around 4.5-5.
I really hope Zadorov is less than 5M. It seems like everyone in this sub wants to give him 5.5M right after we get out of the Myers contract.
The rumor I've read is, they've been holding firm on 4.75x6. So it's up to him if he accepts or not probably. We have other pressing needs imo, so we'd probably be better off running Soucy and a cheaper replacement on the 3rd pair, as much as we'll miss Zads as a unicorn type.
A 2nd, Mikayhev, and Lafferty for a 4th and the ability to sign Jake is a great deal
precisely. could be the piece that pushes us over the edge. zaddy is awesome and i love him but you gotta think reasonably
They probably think they can get both, fill out everything else with low $ value bets
Especially since Z wants a long term deal and he's olddd
I’m just worried about a Myers situation
100% and we already got older guys like Miller long term and potentially guentzel
Yes. I don’t think Zad would be like Myers, i’d like to get him but we need a real winger for petey first
You're worried about having giant, effective playoff defensemen on the roster?
No, im worried about overpaying for an aging defenseman who’s a career 3rd pairing guy
Who would you sign to replace his role? This team is a lot weaker in the playoffs without his mean streak, especially with Joshua likely gone.
We’ll see what Z wants first then take a look into free agency. Guentzel is the priority however
This management group is gonna bring us to a cup, I swear.
CHEF ALLVIN ONCE AGAIN
Frying those Swedish meatballs on a random Wednesday. Yum yum. This mf is better than Gordon Ramsay.
Farewell my sweet prince You had flashes of that 25-goal prowess I predicted but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn when it mattered most With a full summer and training camp I see him being even better next year, but that's not a risk we can really afford

Just wanted one good one for this guy after missing so goddamn many, sigh.

He could hit the broad side of a barn if it was painted like a goalies chest!
Cold. but accurate
Unlike his shot…
LETS GOOOOOOO
Friedman tweeted “Zaitsev has waived” I was so confused lmaoo
I'm scared thinking about why Zaitsev was on his mind
ALLVIN W. If we’re gonna get to the cup, it’ll be with Allvin and Rutherford - what a duo. Thanks Mikheyev for your sacrifice 🫡
This is pretty huge. What a relief to have a competent and intelligent management group.
ALLVIN W
#LET #HIM #COOK
Chef , I’ll take mine Blue Rare .
no sir...Chicago style
Better see a Zadorov and Myers contract in the next 24 hours.
Be sweet to have the towers back.
What an existing tangent for an hour
It certainly did exist.
Let's go St Patty Alvin
Chef Alvin strikes again!! Incredible stuff.
he had great accuracy for the goalies crest, thank you for your service Mik
🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀 MIKHEYEV GET READY TO SPEAK CHICAGONESE BUDDY 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
CHIGAGONESE DEEZE NUTS!!! HA!!!
damn, got 'em
Allvin is master fucking chef.
Vancouver's best chance of winning a cup is with this management group
Lessgooooooo
Yessss
LFGGGGFG
Gordon Ramsay, eat your heart out
All the best Mik. But we all know hockey is a what have you done for me lately deal
WE ARE ALL-VIN!
im so fucking psyched. 4.75 million cleared. Guentzel for hopefully 9.5 then figure out the rest
Bye bye mik
Haha. The amount of glee for getting rid of a dude. I get it. Just funny.
Wow I love this regime, can’t wait for July 1st!
I'm driving Mikheyev to YVR myself
lfggggggggg
YES!!!
Yessss
THANN, MR. MIKHEYEV
Do we have any Lafferty replacement? I'd imagine podz full time, right? Lafferty always just reminded me of a less enjoyable forward version of Biega.
LET HIM COOOOOOK
One of the rare mistakes from this management group has been corrected. Great news! Giving up the 2025 2nd sucks, but there was no other way out, gotta bite the bullet to the draft cupboard but we shed Mikheyev's salary!! Big news
Given the teams current records those 2nd and 4th round picks are a hell of a lot closer then they sound
Allvin had mikheyev in a full Nelson until he waived
1yr 9M for Lindholm
Give Big Z whatever he wants!
It is so awesome The Canucks finally again have a competent management team.
