I bet the Canucks claim him . They love reclamation projects in this age group

If I was GM of a team with low expectations this year (not saying this is the Nucks) I'd definitely claim him.

Has he lost his game or has it been terrible defense in front of him the last couple of seasons? Maybe both

I looked up he that was facing 37 shots a game on average last year.

Probably a little combination of both, I would think a fresh start somewhere else could rejuvenate him

Just anywhere BUT Toronto or Calgary

If a GM had any cajones, he would put in an offer sheet for Evan Bouchard. Even if the Oilers match, it would force the Oilers to move a significant player.

Haven’t we reached the point where we know GM’s will never do this to butcher another team’s cap?

There’s been like ten really really good opportunities for this and it never happens.

If no one offer sheets Swayman, then we will know the dream of it ever happening is dead.

Those were also both just stupid.

Marner and Point were both RFA in situations where teams could’ve made lives hell for Toronto and TB and nobody pulled the trigger. If they didn’t then they never will.

Canucks learned their lesson when we got revenged offer sheeted by St Louis on Steve Bernier and we actually matched it... .. payback for Gillis offer sheeting David Backes

My first thought was wow I can't believe nobody even took a stab at it at league minimum then I checked capfriendly and Yzerman gave him nearly $2 mil/yr through 2025?!
