The Vancouver Canucks could swing for the fences by acquiring one of the biggest names in free agency.
The Vancouver Canucks came agonizingly close to beating the Edmonton Oilers in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and now the Oilers are in the Stanley Cup Final.
“It wasn’t fault that he was put in a top-six position; it was my fault,” said Allvin, adding, “My job is to put players in a position where they belong for them to be successful.” The Canucks were looking to trade for Guentzel at the trade deadline this year — one of many teams pursuing the winger — but couldn't come up with the assets to get a deal done. Could they acquire him now?
Trading for Guentzel’s rights would give the Canucks two advantages. First of all, it would give them an exclusive negotiating window where they would be the only team vying for Guentzel’s services. Secondly, it would give them the option of signing Guentzel for eight years — the maximum contract length for re-signing with your current team — as opposed to seven years.
That’s out of the Canucks’ range but Guentzel isn’t projected to be much cheaper, expected to sign at around $9.3 million.
