PPG guy with the canucks, he has the wheels to play well into his 30's, give him 30 million over 6 years. That will round out the forwards a bit.

Possible, but seems more like a hope by a non-canuck fans. It's not like his shooting percentage was unusually high, or he was getting lucky passes through. For the first time in his career he was getting consistent first line minutes and first unit PP time with an elite center and a top flight goal-scorer on the other wing. I certainly don't expect him to hit 100 points, but I won't be shocked if he stays a ppg player and neither should you.
As previously stated: Toffoli is expected to re-sign so that gives the Canucks a top six of:
Miller - Pettersson - Toffoli/Boeser
Pearson - Horvat - Boeser/Toffoli
Which is one of the strongest sets in the Western conference. If the Canucks fail to keep the momentum going next year, it won't be for a lack of offensive fire power. Defense and Goaltending are the two big question marks.
