Again, the Canucks have 18 or so million right now to get 2 d, a goalie and a forward. Then close to 40 million next season.
Assuming the D are going to be guys like Juolevi and Rafferty and now it's 15 million for a goalie and a forward.
Money isn't the issue. Someone on the Athletic was saying he has a source saying that the Canucks are offering a lucrative 7 year deal. The hold up continues to be the lack of a NMC year one.
