Thread: Canucks trade idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mediumyeet</b></div><div>Canucks are moving too far back here. If Nashville was willing to do sissons + 15 for Garland + 11 that is something I would probably consider. But that Edmonton pick falls too far back.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Vancouver needs more high end talent. They have enough middle of the pack players. Trading the 11th overall pick to get rid of their middle of the pack player is a bad idea. High end talent comes from 11th overall type of draft picks.

If they trade the 11th overall, it should be in a package to get a star player, not to unload a decent top 9 player.

Nashville takes this and runs.</div></div>


I think you are both right. Maybe too much given. But Canucks are alone in being over the cap at this point in time and it isn't even summer. Nucks are in a tight cap space and the league knows it. This has to factor in.

Nucks need a 3C and space cleared. I saw Sissons as a local guy that can fill 3C for a few years for someone like Aman, Raty, Karlson, Sassons, etc. to come up.

I like the, and thought about the Nashville pick instead of Edmontons.

Thread: A Modern Day Re-Creation of the Lindros Trade an attempt
First, Chicago never should have had there first round pick. They have already made back the 2 million paid for Kyle Beach sexual assault, and have no reported defined plans of how to change their culture, no transparency. How is this okay? What does this show? Sexual assault is okay?

This is like your kid killing the neighbours family pet, getting told "your bad" and then receiving ice cream sand a day at Disneyland.

Second, because this has happened and Bedard goes to Chicago, if he pulls a Lindros he is going to Vancouver. But let's be clear, that Lindros trade is out of control. McDavid is maybe worth that, but he has proven himself at the nhl level, Bedard hasn't. Vancouver won't pay that...not moving Demko or Hughes or Petterson or Kuzmenko.

If I'm Bedard i wouldn't want to be in Chicago. The situation is not good with organization, the status of the team/players, the prospect cupboard and the rivalry history. He is a hardcore Canucks fan and remembers the Canucks vs Chicago rivalry.

Thread: Canucks get bedard and go crazy
Let me be the first to say this is dumb. Why would you dismantle the team when you get Bedard?

Why trade hoggy? He had a phenomenal year?
Boeser with that cap retention is worth more than that...and we would ask for a prospect.

I think you get something much better if you package Rathbone with someone or something. Almost the same with garland. Maybe together for a 3C or Dman. Fabbro maybe? ...but maybe not, so similar to bear. Idk.

Why O'Reilly? Has he helped the Maple Leafs win a cup...nope. He is on the back half of his career. Lots of risk especially with his age and injury and the **** year he has had.

Repeat after me..."Canucks are not buying out OEL this year!"
Gavrikov will likely get that, but not worth that.
Severson is a big risk for that much term.
I love the eagle and not so much ugly-E, but his time has come and gone with Vancouver. Forever a 2011 champ and big in hearts of Canucks fans.
More likely to have internal competition for a spot...Dermott, Poolman, Wolanin, Brisebois, Hirose for the bottom spots.
Canucks Trade Myers if they can but his contract and bonus signing make it likely impossible at least extremely difficult. His 5 mil bonus gets paid Sept 15 after many rosters are set and training camps have started.

Pearson is likely done, not traded, not playing.
Rittich ...really? Why? Where and when was he last a good reliable nhl tender? Is he that much better than Martin and Silvos? I don't think we resign Delia. Maybe look for another cheap goalie option or a veteran better than Rittich on a short term low money deal.....what about hometown deal with Martin Jones, maybe a little more for him, say 1.75mil for 2 years. If he doesn't work out then flip or send down and bring up Martin or silvos.
