Nailed it yup. Vancouver has been what worst 3 teams overall last 7 years? Thank goodness for the Kraken and a fresh start. The nucks don't even have a player worth taking in expansion. They are so so poorly run its incredible

Well I would imagine they have an agreement with an (a few) AHL team(s) for this season to send guys down. But they can also select pending UFAโ€™s, or RFAโ€™s and just simply let them walk if they want. They could choose Sutter from the Canucks and walk away.

They were also allowed to talk to free agents as well right?

Missing in the picking is all the little variables. Obviously not going to keep 30 players. Some will hit minors. Could use a few guys who don't need waivers if possible to find. They will get some in trades.

I wonder if Seattle just signs Hamonic and be done with selecting anyone from Canucks.

Yes, other than the few players who have been given permission, they are the only team allowed to speak to pending UFA (and RFA I think).

No doubt they will want to have a half dozen or more guys they can send down and recall for injury etc.

28-30 players sounds about right no? I think Vegas went 4 goalies deep in their first year.

I remember it being a lot. One kid was the son of a regular customer. Crazy.

Nice.
Not sure what happened to that kid, I haven't heard much about him since then.

I scrolled down the comments section and got a nice chuckle about the 2017 Canucks protection list from 2017. Loui, Granlund and Baertschi were protected.
The team has improved, just not enough where they have depth.๐Ÿ‘

Landeskog is such a Lou Lamoriello player

I'm guessing..........

$8.3 @ 7
Just a shade under $60 million for his final contract in the league

Maybe a little lower $8 mill right on the dollar.

That's got Benning written all over it. Those last few years would be ugly, but think of the conversation in here. It would be golden! Nuckup defending the Canucks and the management team, calling all nay Sayers not real fans. Some of the regulars will be Portland fans by then, sighting Benning 14 years as GM, as enough is enough.
