This is a VERY tempting option for the Canucks….



Sam Reinhart is probably the biggest UFA in the NHL, he’s from Vancouver, could we see him come home to play in his hometown with the Canucks on July 1st? If not which others free agents could we see the Canucks target to potentially play alongside Elias Pettersson,

  1. I forsee next season is do or die (unless the cap goes up again). The oel deal is going to bite them the next 2 years after that. So i personally think next season you do have to go all in with trading mikheyev to make room for Reinhart. Sign hronek to 1 year since hes an rfa, sign zadorv, joshua and blugar all for 1 year deals and hope for the best.

  2. I wouldn't do Reinhart. He's unlikely to take a hometown discount and he's 29 years old. These are the contracts that burn you. I was concerned about the Miller contract for that reason, but it's worked out so far, one year in, 6 to go. We can talk about trading Mikheyev all we want, but this isn't NHL 24. You can't just throw in a collection of players you don't want and expect a team to give you something you want back – even cap space. This team will look very different from last season, but I'm sure there will be cheaper options than Reinhart for that 2nd line.

  3. Reinhart isn't worth it. He will not replicate the season he just had. Spend the money elsewhere and somehow trade Mikheyev.

  4. Love to dream in getting Reinhart, but there's a big chance he might want to run it back if they win or lose.

  5. Hopefully Reinhart's production won't fall off a cliff like the other former Panther in Jonathan Huberdeau after signing a big money contract!

  6. Under the assumption that Reinhart gets to UFA, how much do you think hell be asking for? As far as Im concerned, wed have to move Pettersons contract to make space for Reinhart and something tells me that moving Petterson isnt exactly on managements radar.

  7. Reinhart will ask for too much money I’d rather go after guentzel or toffoli and trade mikheyev and hronek

  8. I think these guys mentioned are all out of the Canucks price range. Otherwise they would sign their own UFAs. But they can't, because they are pretty much capped to a maximum 6 million for those top end acquisitions. Both Zadorov and Lindholm were under that amount last season, which is way they were able to come here. But that number has not changed. They must find capable players under 6 million.

  9. i honestly would try to sign both guys like reinhart and guentzal obv gonna take lots of cap but then fill the rest of the spots with cheaper guys like dillon or hakanpa and look at some other options for bottom 6 maybe even internally maybe who known
