Thread: The most fun team to watch in NHL history
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>Lmao. Come on man. I would make this trade with a gun to my head</div></div>

Good thing your not the Canucks GM then. This package is horrible unless it was for Hughes alone. Demko + Joshua + 2nd on top of Hughes is a severe underpayment.

Hughes would cost 4+ 1sts if he were traded (Savoie + Benson + Rosen + 1st)

UPL holds 0 trade value and less than 0 to the Canucks. Oft injured 24 year old goalie, waivers eligible, signed to a 925k 1 way deal, likely still an AHL starter (if that) quality goalie that has put up marginal numbers in the AHL and NHL. Statistically speaking, the last 3 years in a row, he's been at best the 3rd best goalie on his AHL team. He cant even outplay the likes of Michael Houser, Malcom Subban, Andrew Hammond, Jonas Johansson, and Aaron Dell in the AHL. None of those goalies are NHL caliber, and only 2 are even AHL starter material. Silovs is likely a better goalie prospect at this point given age, injury history and level of play. UPL likely clears waivers or your forced to carry 3 goalies if you dont want to risk losing him for nothing.

Olofsson has 0 value around the league at the moment and to the Canucks. They already have 3 4M+ wingers that arent moveable in the NHL at the moment. No need to add to their abundance of wingers, especially 1 that cant be flipped.

Thread: Brock and El Nino
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tbrew</b></div><div>I wouldn’t necessarily agree with that either. Just this year at the TDL, late 1st rounders went to wingers that either included heavy retention, had a higher caliber body of work, or a combination. The market just doesn’t justify that for Boeser, even if he somewhat redeems himself, to be worth a 1st with no relief provided by Vancouver</div></div>

At last year's TDL
Engvall at 2.25M returned a 3rd
Greenway with 2 years left at 3M being a 30 point 3rd/4th liner that brings a some size and some physicality returned a 2nd and 5th
Domi at 3M UFA returned a 2nd
Niederreiter with an additional year at 4M returned a 2nd
Bertuzzi at 50% ret for the remaining year returned a 1st + 4th

Hell Patrick Kane at 50% RET returned a conditional 1st (ended up being a 2nd) + 3rd + 4th with only 1 team he was willing to be traded to. Making it a situation of CHI has to take whatever NYR offered or let Kane finish out the year and walk.

Boeser is better than everyone that returned a 2nd or 3rd by a significant margin. With the season bertuzzi was having, he would have similar value to that if Boeser continues on as he did this past season. So at the 2025 TDL he will be worth a 1st at 50% RET

Thread: Lets try something different
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nightowl26</b></div><div>Ok no problem, just going by reports online they want to move him to basically for nothing to rid them of the salary.</div></div>

Moving Garland for nothing was if we took nothing back for THIS season and BEFORE buying out OEL. This deal isn't even accomplishing that as we take on a higher cap hit for THIS season. We dont need to move his 4.95M for 2024-2026. By next season as long as he continues his career norm of 15-20 goals, 50 points, he will be worth a 2nd + when the cap jumps up to 87-90M.

So this deal has us giving up the much, MUCH better player for a 4th and negative 50k in cap space and the loss of a future 2nd + next off-sesaon once the cap hikes up. Players of Garland's caliber were already getting 4.5-6M in UFA last off-season. once the cap hikes up, they'll be getting 6--7M making him underpaid and worth a decent return

If you want to take Garland for free sure, but if you want to give us Bailey back, we want at least a 2nd round pick attached to Bailey. Otherwise we'll just wait a year and look to trade Garland then.

Thread: Ideal 2023 offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrockChoy</b></div><div>With the newfound capspace from OEL buyout I feel like the nucks say yes. Blackwood &gt; Marty for sure but not sure how long blackwood would be here due to silovs coming up soon. Idk enough about sharangovich but ryan graves would be clutch too.</div></div>
Canucks laugh and hang up the phone actually.

Why on earth would the Canucks want Blackwood? Especially at this cost? Blackwood's QO is 3.34M, He is obviously getting well below that on the open market, so why would the right to negotiate with him have any value? He isn't some hot commodity. He wasn't even AHL starter caliber in his conditioning stint down in Utica. No one is going to be knocking his door down besides teams offering anything besides a max 1 year 1.15M deal.

The guy is injury prone and washed. He isnt even a top 10 UFA goalie this year where there are only 5 potential starter caliber goalies available (andersen/jarry/varlamov/korpisalo/hill). That means there are 5 other backups that are better available for free.

Graves rights aren't worth much either. Historically, UFA rights go for 3rd round pick - future considerations. Graves's rights are probably worth a 5th round pick at most.

We arent trading away Podkolzin for Sharangovich and 2 upcoming UFA, 1 of which we have no need for and isn't NHL caliber, and the other is going to be vastly overpaid

Thread: canucks re-tool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Pick is going the wrong way for Meyers.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>No, no, no, we'll take Myers off your hands if YOU give US a 2024 fourth after July 1 and we'll give you our 2024 sixth. A $6 million cap hit is a $6 million cap hit, no matter how much it is in real money. In this very instance, getting rid of it allows you to add two players you DO want (Haula and Mayfield) in exchange for losing one player you don't.</div></div>

rhd tend to have inexplicable value. Myers I can see being one of those given his 1M caphit. Especially for a team on an internal budget like Anaheim. Wouldnt the Ducks prefer having a stop gap they could dump at 50% at the tdl for a 4th + minimum be better than overpaying a rhd in ufa?
