Chris Johnston on Lindholm, Zadorov and contract projections for pending UFA's

[@scottiem]

Solid takes. Really agree with Dhali in that Van should push hard at Guentzel.

[@kpax45]

Long as they do not over pay like they usually seem to!

[@wellyforpm]

Too much $ Esp if they are going after necas

[@roffew.1065]

Guentzel to Bruins makes sense if DeBrusk leaves

[@wellyforpm]

Considering zadorov turned down a 4 or 5 year deal @ 4.5 from vancouver, their guess is quite light.

[@jamesruscheinski8602]

Çanucks try to acquire top four two way defenseman?

[@bshoulder]

Zadorov made 3.75 in 23-24, and Johnston projects him to want 4 million only?! If that is the case, why in the world has the Canucks not sign the guy? Myers will take a pay cut (my guess is he will sign for 3 to 4 mil, which saves the team 2 - 3 mil a year), if only 250k of that savings is what it needs to sign Zadorov, I will personally chip in $25 to make that happen!

[@wellyforpm]

Already offered him 4 or 5 @ 4.5 and were rejected.

[@timbitskank2963]

Name two players you’d bring up from the farm team ( not named Silovs)

[@wellyforpm]

Lekkerimaki and pettersson

[@Pinkz604]

If Big Z is good with $4m aav for 3 years, then why tf haven’t the Canucks signed him yet?? Back that truck up and sign the contract big boy! lol 💰✍️ IMHO he’s worth that all day 💯

[@baiqi44]

Nucks already offered $4.5 x 4 or 5 years, which Zadorov's camp has already rejected. No team is getting him for cheap, including the Canucks.

[@randdomize858]

Thats the projection but he's gonna want a lot more. Dude has never made more than 3.75 and is 29. This is the year for him to get his big contract.

[@kpax45]

Think he is looking for 6 million not 4, otherwise Canucks would have signed him by now

[@wellyforpm]

I like zadorov but he already said no to 4.5, he's not a top pair guy over the season, I think canucks have to look elsewhere if it's above 5. Big guys break down earlier too.

[@elvisguitar5394]

Boston is not paying 10 million to Lindholm

[@ProduceBOY939]

Whats an 80-90pt player worth? 8-9 million? No. 10-10.5 sure. You all going to get butt hurt over 1 million extra a year for Elias? Smh

[@dragon-ir8te]

Get Necas

[@jeffisaacson1941]

Ep 40 is not a playoff threat,why keep him with his excuses and poor physicality.

[@wellyforpm]

He had 17 points in 14 games in the bubble.

[@davelindsay91]

not worth the money

[@G_Ellis606]

Trade Petey ASAP~! Sign Jake and Lindholm, Joshua, Blueger

[@kpax45]

Many takers on Petey? Had bad last half of season, INVISIBLE in playoffs

[@jimgill7524]

and add Hronek to the trade list

[@Ship-19]

The dump Boeser and Miller clan would be inclined to agree. Would you say bye to all the players who had a great season until the all star break? Short sighted gamblers lose eventually. Have some faith in the management

[@trevorplater4675]

Why on earth would you trade Petterson. He had a rough 2nd half. He was playing hurt, that had a big impact on his skating and planting to shoot. He made Hoglander a 24 goal scorer. Mikheyev should have had another 20 with how many times he was set up. Give him 1 goof goal scorer and he will get 120 points. He is a top 10 centre on any list.

[@ShaunYoung-u1w]

Petey over $11m kills me. That effectively closes the Miller window. He's a total bum. I want him gone. Id rather have just Lindholm. Hopefully FA let's management facilitate a trade and doesn't get in the way. But. Ya know. Doofus nepo baby and all that.

[@DavidAllison-qs8wn]

Petey's points-per-game career stats for current players puts him around #18 in the league, ahead of Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Barkov, Eichel, Braydon Point, Tavares, Guentzal, Backstrom, Aho. Slightly trailing Patrick Kane, Stamkos, Pasternac, about 6-7 points/year behind Ovechkin's career pace. He's a career +56, Calder trophy winner, 32 career game winning goals. Pettersson has not peaked in my opinion. He's 25. He committed to the Canucks for 8 years on a fair deal. So, what's the problem? A bad playoff with a bad knee after a year with wingers that couldn't find the net with a map? Mikheyev 11 goals all year, some of those empty net no doubt. Gretzky couldn't thrive with Pettersson's wingers. He still had 89 points, +20, with a lacklustre 2nd half season. www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask/active-career-nhl-points-per-game-leaders

[@trevorplater4675]

Terrible take. He was the leagues leading scorer until he got injured and Mikheyev forgot what goal scoring was. He just needs a good winger. Miller played great but had Boeser. Sign jonathan marchessault or Lindholm. Lindholm or Petterson can play wing until Lekkerimäki is ready and we have some real depth.

[@wellyforpm]

pettersson over the past 3 years is a top 5 center for points, behind only mcd, drai, and mac
