A) with what cap space?
B) hell yeah I love our center depth now
Another name that was rumored for a while now, seems like Dhali had all the info this summer. One name left linked to Canucks is Max Comtois
Helps centre depth for sure… but with what cap space? Pearson or Mikheyev have a setback and starting on LTIR?
Really curious on what we do to fit under the cap now.
Full marks to Allvin and co, this is a player we need (center who is defensive), who isn’t too old, isn’t on a hamstring contract, and really can help us. I honestly expected more years or a higher AAV.
We will have to figure out cap things (expect some other shoes to fall), but I am really impressed, this is a great bet.
All of Canucks media is sleeping that the Canucks has to break the news themselves first.
Great signing. Allvin is doing a fantastic job.
Great signing, time for myers to go
W signing let’s goooooo
I LOVE this move. Been asking for it since the beginning of free agency. Great cost too.
No way we could have bluegar as a 3LC.
Canucks are looking really solid this coming season
Kinda expensive for a guy who ranked 11th by forwards by TOI/GP on Detroit last season. $1.6mil for a fourth liner? Hmm…
How many of us were hoping for exactly this move. Absolutely a great addition, and the contract is very low risk. I’m feeling pretty good about our centre depth now.
Myers getting traded soon?
Time to hit YouTube for Pius Suter highlights lol
Good signing. Also gotta love how GMPA loves dropping news on Fridays.
Damn. Tidy signing. We have a little bit of centre depth now, even if our centres are A+, B+, C, C, C.
I wonder where Aman slots in.
Man I didn’t think we’d get him. This is a great signing.
Honestly, its just nice to see this organization is data driven again.
This is a **tidy piece of business**!
Someone will be moved out and that could potentially be Myers. Isn’t our D weak without him on the 3rd pairing?
Suter is a fantastic fit for us and at that cap hit, on a multi year deal, is a huge score
Ah yes, the lesser-known but most religious Sutter brother, Pious Sutter.
Suter and Soucy were my top 2 favorite realistic targets. Feels good to sign them both.
Not overly familiar with him. How is he with face-offs and the PK?
It’s beautiful 😍
Great signing Allvin, let’s goooo
That’s a great signing. But if he plays 4C I hope they keep Aman.
Is this likely the forward group on opening night?
– Kuzmenko Petey Mikheyev
– Boeser Miller Podkolzin
– Beauvillier Suter Garland
– Joshua Blueger PDG/Pearson
– Hoglander
(Podz AHL?)
Let’s go! I just predicted [we’d sign Pius Suter](https://www.reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/15mryqm/whats_the_most_stable_offensive_line_combinations/jviltxh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3) the other day! What a good contract too! Hopefully the Myers part is true lol
Oooh I like that!
Buying out OEL looks to be paying off big time an OEL can retire without anyone bothering him in Florida win win
I love the trickle down effect of a good acquisition. 3rd/4th/pp2/pk all look so much better on paper now
This is a fantastic contract, and fills a huge need. I like Aman a lot, but this way he can play big minutes in Abby and then be the first call up when we have a center injury. It should be good for his development and gives us much better depth. Maybe Aman could also play some wing on the 4th line too if injuries hit. He’s fast and can forecheck so why not.
We actually have some good depth in our top 6 and now our bottom 6 for the first time in a long while.
Hopefully Suter and Blueger can push one another.
Suter is the sexiest non sexy signing this team has made in some time (especially at that term and AAV).
Whatever happens this season, it certainly wasn’t for a lack of trying.
Great signing. Feel a bit bad for Aman likely getting pushed down to Abby. Probably a good thing though, hopefully he can make the team full time in 24-25
Crazy good signing. LFG
