We are trying to get younger, we are giving up 2 players who are just reaching their potential.

LUcic is 26 he has 8 prime years ahead of him Boychuck 5 years. Tanev will probably be wanting 6 mil per yr for his 6 goals. Tanev will be an UFA in two years

What does acquiring Lucic have to do with Daniel being underperforming and overpaid ?

I don't see the difference between LUcic and Kane? Why is everyone in love with Kane but hate a Kane like player that is better.

So you want Lucic to play on the 2nd line, he won't get the goals
that he's getting now.

So basically Canucks don't have the supporting talent .

Not sure how Kassian on that line makes it better.

Daniel Bonino Kassian is not better that Daniel Bonino Lucic

I'm not in love with Kane. It's a boring summer and Kane said stupid poop on the radio, another reason I wouldn't want him on my team. Benning doesn't want Kane. I don't have a problem with Lucic, but Kassian & Tanev for Lucic & Boychuck doesn't make sense, we wont be keeping Boychuck next year, he will want 4mil+
and why the (frank) would we want 2 more NTCs.

I agree, not quite sure with respect to the anti-Lucic sentiment (yes, the guy can be a wanker, has said some stupid things and may not be a MENSA candidate, but that doesn't mean he's still not one of the best power-forwards in the league - no offense to Kassian - who I really like - but I would take Lucic over him in a heartbeat). From all indications, it also appears that he's a great team guy. So, again, not sure where all of this negativity is coming from

I think Tanev will be asking 4 mil also when he is a UFA and will probably test the waters . I am not sure he will be a Canuck when he hits UFA.

NTC depends on what type. IF it is a full NTC . If they need to give a list of 10 teams where they won't go I am ok with that.

So basically Canucks don't have the supporting talent .

It doesn't, but we're not competing for a cup
Let me put it this way, in 3 years when hopefully our younger more talented players take there places who do you want them to play with, a 26 yr old Kassian or a more expensive 29 yr Lucic?

Then trade him in a package for another 1st next year.

I would take the proven cup winner over a maybe any day

- A_SteamingLombardi

He is not known enough at this point to garner a first rounder in a trade or packaged trade.

Tanev doesn't have the big hits or the booming shots , he doesn't have the points so his street cred is not as high as we think.

Daniel Bonino Kassian is not better that Daniel Bonino Lucic

Well good luck to him demanding $4mil.

Like I said Lucic >Kane>Kassian

Ok, once again we agree on something . Just another sign that the Apocalypse is upon us. Repent you @#$@#% heathens! (could it be Vantel is the anti-Christ? no wait, that was my ex-girlfriend )

I would rather sign him as a FA as the final piece to a dominant team.

Lucic McCann Kassian

Edit: There you go Kesler shut down that line

Does anyone know what Tanev wants, money or term, it seems strange 2 single yr deals after his ELC?
