Elliotte Friedman states Arizona has asked OEL if he's willing to expand teams he's willing to go for to more than two (Van & Boston). OEL said no.
Arizona like prospects in Boston more than they like the prospects in Vancouver
At this time, Vancouver more eager then Boston in terms of the want. Boston can always circle back to Krug. Vancouver looking at it like they can have Hughes and OEL locked up on the LD for years.
Arizona trying to secure a similar deal that ROR got.
Good thing from this rumor is that Benning didn't overpay, or at least I believe he didn't include high prized prospects like podkolzin/Hoglander or hopefully Rathbone.
Arizona wants a similar deal as ror... 3 players and 2 picks lol. Sutter, Eriksson, Ferland kappa
With flat cap, tight schedules, pressured not being able to afford next deadline to pay him and rest of the staff, I don't think they can wait it out too long. Other teams will have their own plans and agendas, they may offer even less to make it work
The Canucks have lots of other high priority players to sign.
This needs to get done soon. Arizona needs to be pushed as we have all the leverage.
Should be throwing down the hammer saying this is the offer, decide by xxx day or we are done.
They cant afford to pay him so what can they really do about it.
