Yikes some of these contracts are brutal.

Granlund, 4X5, takes him until age 33/34.
Coleman, 6X4.9, takes him until age 35/36.
Hyman, 7X 5.5, takes him until 35/36.

Has Benning finally learned his lesson

17M to sign Petey,Hughes, Richardenson and Joulevi. Definitely doable but my guess hes basically done.

Can't say the right side is super inspiring but all in all the team is much improved.

11.5 million aav for Myers, hamonic and poolman on the right side.

How the heck does he warrant that kind of contract coming off of that type of season

Really don't like the poolman signing. Like the player as a 3rd pairing defenseman, but 2.5 is way too rich, and 4 years is 2 years too long.

Schenn at 2 years 800k is fantastic.
Halak at 1 year 1.5aav is fantastic
Hamonic at 2 years at 3 million is a bit too rich for me, but I see why they do it.
Sutter at 1.125 is really good value for the Canucks

Strongly agree with everything - hope the Poolman signing is false or incorrect

Would've like the Bogo signing 3X.800K (year too long but great $$)

I still expect they will need to make a trade for a dman but good for now.

Sutter $1.125 x 1 year Does the job...admin
Hammer $3 x 2 years Decent signing re: term
Halak $1.5 (x$1.5 bonuses) x 1 year Good siging
Poolman $2.5 x 4 years Need to see more...don't understand yet

Let's hope the better forward group translates into better team defence. Wait and see approach on d-men signed.

Habs Savard 4/3.5m nice deal damn

Klimovich signs 3 year ELC with canucks

Habs Savard 4/3.5m nice deal damn

Every time I would build a roster on CF I slotted Hamonic in at 3 mil exactly. This is exactly what I thought he was worth.

Costly deals glad JB got his trades done. Cap is starting to look great but still more to sign.

That's our right side for the next 2 years

Right side is for toughness and defense, left side will be for transition and offense I guess.

Looks like they are going the quantity route...not the worst approach. Improved possession numbers at forward should translate across the team.

The Coleman one is hilarious

Treliving sucks

Nice and predictable so the other team knows what they're getting

Keeper is a really solid pickup

I figured it out guys - Poolman signed based on his 2019 numbers

Ruby - you drunk, hungover fawk - does the restructuring of the D, appease you??

OEL Myers
Hughes Hamonic
Rathbone Poolman
Juolevi Schenn

Brady Keeper 2 years?

yup and that's my problem with this lineup. it lacks physical pushback. i love the optimism in here (just like every offseason here) but i see it as a bubble/1 round team and that's if they remain relatively injury free.

Holtby to Dallas for 2 mill.. what he should have originally gotten here lol
