Thread: Bs side
Poitras is staying with the club and they're seeing if Zacha can be a permanent 2C, which so far he looks like. Putting another center in there might jam up the growth of those players. Based on that I just don't see them making a trade until at least the deadline if they look like a real threat to go deep and management says screw it. That doesn't really work with Edmonton's time-frame, which is why I think Hertl is more likely to end up in Boston. They loaded up on cheap short-term deals this past offseason so they could combat the overages from Bergy and Krej and play out the season. Success this year feels like a bonus. I think they hold Ullmark and continue to benefit from arguably the best tandem in the league, then see what FA centers are available in the Summer with 25+ million to throw around. At that point, they start fielding offers from teams needing a goalie, and they would probably be happy getting futures for Ullmark.

Thread: Packaging Hall Ullmark and Griz
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>well i cant help the offers from other fans. Yes, ideally we use Boston's need to clear cap space to remain competitive to lower the cost as much as possible. Hall isnt a necessity in the deal for us. To me, he is just a throw in to the deal to clear more space for a guy who did meet his contract this year (because of injuries). If boston holds him in high regard because of one 7 game series, the canes will likely not be interested. Getting Forbort on the cheap in a deal with Ullmark is fine but also not a necessity . Ullmark would be only of value to the canes here. The rest are cap dumps we take in order for us to not pay an arm and a leg for ullmark.</div></div>

There's probably 3 first of value in here from Boston

Gryz 2nd, hall 50% 1st, ullmark 1st+2nd are reasonable prices on all of these

I predict boston to take a haircut on ONE of these players (not hall 50% retained but hall at full price), but Boston doesn't need to clear all of them, and so you'd be paying full price on these.

Thread: No rebuild just reload
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>Yeah, and miller had 50 even strength points. So he is clearly several tiers above haula who is a middle 6 forward.

Also, Garland had 48 EV points, so miller is not the only one who outperformed them. Pettersson had 31 as well, which is his worst even strength point production of his career. So Pettersson at his worst is comparable to debrusk at his best. Ditto haula.

You really have to massage the numbers to convince me debrusk or haula would be top 3 forwards in the Canucks.

Debrusk I would say is better than haula, and even though he obviously struggles with consistency issues. Some times it looks like debrusk is a top line player who can score 30 goals, sometimes he plays like a 3rd liner. It’s very possible, if not likely, that he plays at a 3rd/2nd line level in Vancouver if Van were to trade for him.

End of the day, neither are high end. Neither of them finished in the top 100 for 5v5 scoring. Neither of them are useful power play pieces. Neither of them were consistently used as 1st line players.

It does not make sense for vancouver to move on from miller for a collection of middle of the line up players. It’s a great way for vancouver to find themselves to be a repeat bubble team every year and never take a full step.</div></div>

You missed a lot of what i said here.
First, I’ll emphasize “once they were put in the top six,” and “48 games.”

It was over a period of time, in which, one player on the canucks had more EV points. It was miller, who had 39. Garland had 28. So ya, when they were top six guys…they were top six guys.

Notice, i did not say they were first line studs that can put up 99 points. I just said they were top six guys…because that is literally what they were.
