Thread: Quick Overhaul
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Prime_Jimbo</b></div><div>It would be! Though I like this roster if it were achievable. Not sure what else the RHD trade market has to offer. That said, I'd be interested in Mayfield to partner with Hughes vs this trade assuming Boeser/Garland could fetch a 2nd in 23 or 24.</div></div>

i think holding brock and garland is the smart thing to do because next season when the cap goes up it makes a trade a lot easier, and its not like they are bad players. in FA id honeslty look to bring schenn back for another year and usse myers as a bear placeholder since he will actually have value midseason when guys get hurt/teams look to add.

i just think trading all 3 top 45 selections we had this year is unacceptable. you need to draft and this is the best draft in a while

Thread: Hawks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>You forgot that they are also opening up $2.7m in cap space next season and $600k for the following two seasons plus get an upgrade on the backend.</div></div>

wow a whole 600k, cant even sign 1 player with that. garland is a useful middle 6 winger and the canucks no longer have the same need to move cap after the OEL buyout. opened up his basically his whole 7.2 cap hit this year.

and definitely wouldnt call murphy and upgrade. a 30 year old with a career high of 19 points and never been on a winning team. if your going to say that garland at 4.9 is a cap dump for a 50 pt player (with no pp1 time, playing with sheldon dries as his most common centre 5v5), then murphy is too. Ethan Bear is only 25, been a great fit since the trade and played great with and without hughes, and already offers more than murphy who is one dimensional.

It makes no sense for the canucks to trade Bear 1 for 1 for murphy, let alone throw in a very useful middle 6 winger for nothing who we have no need to move, AND move down 8 spots in a stacked draft. and then the canucks have to add a 4th to seal the deal?? maybe benning trying to save his job but not any sane person
