Adding Forsberg would just be overkill

Thats a no from Nashville

So you think Forsberg & Manson are worth the same?

Why? It's likely that Nashville trades him before the trade deadline. What would Vancouver need to add?

Not really, both are rentals that fill different needs, just a starting point for the trades with retained salary. What do you think they are worth?

Even if the value is there for Forsberg, that doesnt get you 50% of his contract retained

I like overkill.

Hoglander?

VAN shouldn't make these moves though. They're not a contender yet. Even with Manson, that's still not a great back end.

I'll ask you again, what would Vancouver need to add?

Nashville can get more for Forsberg

I dont know what Vancouver has to offer or what you guys are willing to move, but a top winger in the league at 50%, even if he is only a rental, is more than a first

No Dante Fabbro? No chance we go for Forsberg, Tkachuk would makes more sense anyways. Manson is solid, but I'd rather not give up that much for a rental player when we could give up that package and acquire a young RHD that will be an RFA, thus giving us more control and giving us the chance to retain some value back in the off chance that we must part ways with the acquired player.

I'd love to get Fabbro but I don't know if he would be available or if we would have the assets to get him. I'm assuming it would be a lot more than a 1st. Which Tkachuk and could we get him under a $3M cap hit?

Just made a post regarding this!
