Ask high from the player.
Demand low from the GM


Happens every year. I expect him to sign 8years around 7mil

Like drago said, he's 28 so this is likely his last contract to cash in. He just had his 2nd kid in 2 years also so that could be why he's asking for so much.

Kids these day, they cost millions

couple mil for the baby sitter eh?

Elliotte Friedman on 630CHED: People chasing the Hyman story have heard there might be teams willing to go 6x6 or 6Mx7 on Hyman and EDM is one of them. Doesn't see CGY/DET going that high. Doesn't see VAN going that high unless they move someone else.

Canucks in on Nick Leddy (1 year left, 5.5 AAV): "Lamoriello is working the trade lines on multiple players. Told they've had conversations with the Kraken & Canucks, among other teams, about Leddy."

Rip our cap.

Hyman has to go in toronto edmonton or colorado otherwise hell be garbage and bought out

Certainly not following in Mackinnon's footsteps with a team friendly deal lol.

Apparently Alexander Edler wants to test free agency. His "first choice is to find a new team, not to sign a new deal with the Canucks" according to his agent, Mark Stowe.

Not sure if this is just posturing for a better contract or if there is actually weight behind that statement.

Caught me by surprise. I figured he was going to sign for the Canucks for another year at a discount and then retire.

I don't blame him, had a rough season, and his buddies went to calgary. Only dude remaining from 2011. Probably doesn't wanna be relied upon heavily on nightly basis at his age, and rather go to a contender and smurf on a 3rd pairing role for similar amount of pay.

I wonder if the eastern team are the bruins, halak not returning and Rask out til jan
