    The dream is over. Hopefully the Canucks sign 2 good middle 6 wingers

    Well at least we don’t have to stress about it for an hour tomorrow just for him to sign with Tampa. I feel like we are gonna go for someone unexpected like domi or something

    Jake please… we have sun… only sometimes but I promise we have it

    Might be a hot take but the fact that Tampa gave up a third JUST to have under 24 hours of negotiation time with Guentzel actually isn’t as bad as it looks.

    We all know there’s plenty of tampering behind the scenes. If there was always an understanding that Guentzel wanted to go to Tampa, why would they give up the asset just to have 24 hours to try to officially sway him?

  5. Wouldn’t it be so funny if he still tests the waters in free agency

    Sad to see, but I was uneasy about the amount of money and term we were going to deck out anyway. Let’s move on.

    The Leafs giving a seventh round pick for Tanev felt like just a roll of the dice.

    Tampa giving up a third for Guentzel however, that feels like a done deal.

    I know everyone was hungry for this one but I think we can make up his production in the aggregate with much cheaper contracts with way less term risk. I’d rather overpay a guy on a one or two year deal than pay top dollar on an 8 year term.

    Eh, it’s not over till it’s over guys. Players have not always signed to teams they get their rights traded to.

    I don’t thing TB is a sure thing…but I don’t think we should throw the barn at The Guentz either.

    Time to get aggressive on Ehlers and Mcgroarty. There’s your second line with Petey for cheap cheap. Then pump some money into a depth forward and top 4 D.

    Could be a blessing for us. Now we can spread out that 9.5-10 mill we woulda had to pay him

    Seems like the majority of players the Nucks were interested in are likely signing elsewhere. No it’s not a given but looks likely. Tanev , Guentzel, Zadorov, Lindholm , Marino trade . Stamkos will be way overpriced and he’s too slow 5 on 5 . Toffoli meh could be an ok addition.

  14. ZealousidealSide8948

    I’m just curious Why wouldn’t we be doing this with lindholm?

  15. Hmm, wonder if they’ll go depth route now and make a swing at the deadline. Good opportunity to go for a 1 year overpay if nothing else shakes out

    Is Tampa able to offer him 8 years after acquiring his rights ?  

  17. coltonjeffs

    Guentzel said himself he wants to test free agency so close to the finish Line. Tampa gonna have to throw out like 10+ to sign him

  18. Nice-Willingness-869

    We’ve been down this road with Hamhuis.

    If I’m Jake Guentzel and there’s less than 24 hours to FA, why would I sign when there’s going to be a bidding war and I can look at all the offers before deciding?

  20. BradenB22

    I’m going to continue to be delusional and believe he’s coming to Vancouver until I see the contract signed

  21. RoughJustice81

    My prediction is we will sign a forward that there’s been zero rumours about like Chandler Stephenson plus 1-2 more guys
