Nino isnt so bad that we need to use Bean to move him.

It works for the Wings because it doesn't work for VAN. Don't think a true fan suggested this.

IMO, we are best to just wait one more year before trying to deal Loui.

Staal cost a 2nd to move, so realistically Loui shouldn't cost more than a pair of 2nds. This is more value than a pair of 2nds coming back with him.

The canes can definitely move nino without having to pay to do it. If they were going to have to pay it certainly wouldn’t cost bean and a 2nd. Nino can still get 40-50 points, yes he may be a mil over paid but he has value

Car trade is accepted.

Van trade replace virtanen with a 2nd or with rathborne

no it isnt

Ahem, I bet your pardon good sir!

I pitched this based on the premise that VAN re-signs Markstrom, making Demko a realistic trade chip to move Eriksson. I included the often-rumoured-on-the-move Virtanen as a way of avoiding having to include other picks in the deal, something Benning said he’d rather not do. I also think the value is pretty well in line with what it’ll take to move Loui; it won’t be cheap.

Uh from a wings perspective it is

Problem being that you are getting ahead of the cap issue now instead of being in the same situation as the Lightning with a gun to your head! Petey and Hughes will each be paid 10 plus million per year starting in 2021.

I agree 2 2nds would do it but the Canucks already have limited draft capital. You need that capital to supplement your team in a Cup window.

This seems like a fair deal

Well done. Its very hard to please fans without a homerun trade. Roll with the punches here dude

Sure, I agree it takes something to get something. And I'm not saying this is an awful trade - it's just not something that is necessary as of yet. The chances Virtanen gets moved are large, so the pieces in this trade are fair.
Obviously the Markstrom scenario is a possibility. We won't know for another week and a half.

My point here is that now is NOT the right time to move Eriksson. If a Marc Staal type player can be traded with one year for the value of a 2nd (about the value of Virtanen), then why not wait the year? I'm not going to say Demko is an elite goalie based off of 3 games, however he was a highly touted prospect from the begining, and typically goalies turn the corner abruptly.

Demko is worth more to the organization than his trade value suggests. We can make due with the cap of Eriksson for a year more and pay the price necessary then. As of now, I'm more for moving Virtanen with a piece like Baertschi.

Fair value? Potentially. But this is the type of trade that should happen only if 100% necessary, which from a Canucks perspective, it simply isn't worth it. I'd rather bear the risk to see if Demko builds on his performance next year than move him for cap that likely just ends up as another bad free agent signing.
