The problem with this is that Vancouver has a very poor prospect pool. Trading all that for 2 pending ufas in Hanafin and Pesce is a very dangerous move. They both will get raises, along with Hronek and Petterson. These are very short sighted moves.

This makes them have a solid team for 1 year and then they go back to being very mediocre, with a very limited prospect pool. I also don't think this team is a true contender. They are good but they aren't New Jersey Devils or Carolina good.

Just my 2 cents.

Question why's Schenn after all I've read from Canuckleheads is how great Schenn was in Vancouver is he taking a 3 year deal with a pay cut?

I had have to agree with you how ever I do think there is a way to sign all 4 petty hornek and the ufas if it was a sign and trade for both I think they should do it

Same reason he did last time, family reasons

Good theory ,however he made 850k in Vancouver his 2 years in TB he made 700k and 800 so your assertion he took a pay cut is factually FALSE!!!

Trading youth and picks for aging players is what got us into a mess to begin with.This is actually NOT what the Canucks should do.IMHO.

Steep price indeed, but I like the creativity and its not competely unreasonable. Canucks would likely want sign and trades. Not sure about Pesce.

He had offers in the mill range the last time he was a Ufa he did infact take a discount to go to Vancouver

I believe these moves would only happen in a sign and trade type deal

Yeah and he took a PTO bull**** he did. If you believe that I've got some tropical rain firrest land to sell you in Montana.

Canes wouldnt do this though.

I never said he took a pto

He did go look it up before he signed the 850k he was on a pto
