Rather than starting a new thread putting the below here.
We've got a thread on NCAA free agents but what about euro free agents? Chicago did well with Panarin and competition will be high. But it's a cheap way to improve the team.
Article mentions Karki, Golyshev and Zaitsev. Zaitsev is rumoured to be interested in Toronto, Golyshev seems really small and Karki is a lw where we have org depth. Are there any other high profile free agent rw out there that might be able to come in and contribute?
The Canucks are committed to looking outside the organization also and there are a number of intriguing undrafted free agents – the aforementioned Lyon, Richmond, B.C. born defenceman Troy Stecher (who plays with Canucks prospect Brock Boeser in North Dakota), big Finnish forward Jarno Karki, Russian sniper Anatoli Golyshev, Russian defender Nikita Zaitsev – who would carry roughly the same odds of developing into impactful NHL players as a typical mid-round draft pick.
