Good contract. I thought he was holding out for more than 1mil

ITS LANKY TIME BABY

Win win. Good deal for Canucks, good landing spot for lankinen.

This seems incredibly reasonable.

Allvin waited out both Lankinen and Sprong and got both for under $2M combined. Unreal
-GregTheGreat-
Big win. Lankinen is a proven 1B compared to the uncertainty of having a rookie in Silovs. This gives us way more certainty in net with Demko’s injury, especially if his minutes are sheltered afterwards. And it’s low enough a salary that we stay out of LTIR
Silovs gets starter minutes in Abby to keep developing and should still get a handful of NHL games to start the year plus the odd spot start during homestands
Edit: he’s 1B-calibre, even if he wasn’t a true 1B in Nashville

GOOD GOD LET ALLVIN COOK. Rock Lank and Silvos until Demmer is back flip Lank for a small package win the cup 82-0 regular season 16-0 playoff run.

Allvin and Castonguay out here bullying Free Agents like it’s elementary school recess.

Allvin seems very good at this whole GMing thing.

Chef Allvin got the recipe just right yet again!

After so many years of Benning these announcements are always just such a breath of fresh air.

Hell yeah. First Finnish goalie for the Canucks since who?
Cant remember who our last Fin Goalie was

Allvin may be the most consistently competent GM we’ve had

Is Lankinen good?

The Canucks had all the leverage here as it’s musical chairs each offseason where there’s no chair for many goalies. There’s only 64 NHL goalie spots — all of which have been taken.
Waiting for an injury to happen isn’t exactly a good strategy as there’s going to be a slew of goalies on waivers before the start of the season.
The Canucks were fine with waiting or not signing Lankinen at all since they could claim a goalie off waivers before the start of the regular season.

It feels so good to be the team waiting and snagging guys on deals vs. jumping the gun, panicking, and over paying and over terming guys lol

LANKY TIME

I’d assume this means Patera will be backup to Lankinen/3rd goalie once Demko is healthy & Silovs will spend the year in Abby which is definitely the best move. Better for him to get game action on a regular basis and more practice time.

Chef got his guy once again 😤😤😤

Now we just have to get rid of Poolman and get Pettersson #3 at the deadline 🙏

YEAAAA BABY

Rookie behaviour by Allvin, a real executive chef like Benning would’ve traded Silovs, signed Lankinen to a 3 x 3, and made Demko play opening night.

Allvin is cooking up sum fire meatballs 😘🤌
palpytus
top tier back up goalie with a .906 NHL (all situations) career average at almost league min. don’t let Chef Allvin out of the kitchen
yosoo
Cheaper than the expected 1M lol
genuinelyunoriginal
This. This is what a competent front office looks like. Well done PA / JR
heatbagz
no waaaaaaay
CaptainIndoCanadian
This is great value. Lankinen is a damn good goalie too.
Question for me is.. what gives when we’re healthy? Keep 3 goalies? Tolopilo and Patera are the guys in the A. Silovs is waiver exempt right? I think? But then who sits in the A.
Makes me think a trade is in the cards once healthy
JauntyGiraffe
Damn, Chef Allvin out here getting deals. Bro must’ve clipped ALL the coupons and cashed in all his Save-On More points to get this below a milly.
I guess that means Silovs plays in Abby unless there’s an injury and he’ll get a better shot next year
azzybaba
Personally I think PA is the best GM we’ve had

RETIRE THE CHEF’S NUMBER NOW, HE’S GOING INTO FIN’S HALL OF FAME, EARLY ADMISSION

Puckpedia has Lankinen as waiver exempt. Is that possible?
