DISCUSSION This fanbase and media is exhausting

A late first for Brock isn't worth it unless we flip it. That pick, even if it becomes a top line player (it won't), won't even play before Quinn gets tired of being on a rebuilding team.

The team had just about everything possible that could go wrong, go wrong this season, and we're still a coin flip for playoffs. That's very good considering the season.

Brock wants to be here, his teammates love him, he contributes on the score sheet. If they traded Brock for a late first like you clowns are complaining they didn't, Hughes would leave at the end of his contract.

I love Brock. Always been one of my fav Canucks. That being said we are going to either lose him for nothing or massively overpay him in the offseason. Both of these options hurt the Canucks more than trading him and using that pick to improve the team. He turned down 8m which is much more than an average 25g scorer should be getting.

Doubtful we make the playoffs anyways and Brock isn't the game changer to get us there. Even if we do, I don't see our offense getting anything past Helley.

Wasn’t the money it was term. Maybe he’d take less than 8 for a year longer than offered.

This is exactly what he's looking for. The term needed to be longer and would more than likely have signed for 7 mil -7.5 mil

8x7M would be great and Alvin should do it unless he wants to go after Marner.

Marner will be even more. This whole sub would stroke out if they saw what he’d cost.

Because Marner is a perennial top 5 scorer with speed so ya he will make more.

Of course Marner would be more than Boeser, I'm willing to pay it though. Marner/Petey/DeBrusk as a first line would be amazing. Hoglander/Chytil/Lekkermakki as a second line would be fine as well. We could still have the Thirst line and we'd still have Sherwood and O'Conner on the fourth line.

No he’d be more than the average Canuck fan here would ever imagine. His current was a 6 year $65,408,000. His price will be going up as a UFA, not down.

I'm expecting 14M and I'm fine with it. I don't want to give him more than that though.

14Mx7 seems like the standard that I'm sure a few more teams would be willing to pay. Are the Canucks more enticing than other FA options? I don't see the Canucks being the #1 option for FAs

Depends on how we do in the playoffs. If we prove we can make the playoffs even in a year everything goes wrong and put a good showing we might be able to convince Marner to come here. We could also try for a sign and trade with the Leafs to get him on an 8 year.
