Thread: Eichel

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GoodIdeaAtTheTime</b></div><div>Agreed. A good starting point but it doesn't get the job done. The more this develops, the more I see Adams digging in, delaying the surgery to keep Eichel away from training camp then finding a reason to suspend him.</div></div>

Eichel is looking at getting an experimental neck surgery to replace a disc, this should not be taken lightly. Yes, he is an elite player, but there is massive risk at 10mil for 5 more years. I think there needs to be a lot of conditions in the trade if things with either the surgery or his health take a turn for the worse.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrBloopy</b></div><div>Move Ferland to LTIR</div></div>

I like how this team looks. I think Sutter makes a little less and pay Dickinson more for longer term. Also, Highmore over Hawryluk, and instead of Elliott maybe Bernier or Brossoit, but either will cost more, but more stable.

Thread: Landeskog

Love the Landeskog signing, probably get 8mil. I think instead of Cizikas for that much grab someone else for cheaper. Goaltending is a risk, but good be solid. Larsson isn't resigning in Edmonton, sounds as if Barrie is though.

You aren't getting that much for Reinhart or Eichel. With Eichel, drop a 1st and Valimaki, and Reinhart forget about Vilardi.

Thread: 2 top 6 forward gambles and defensive depth

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>deys3232</b></div><div>Why is Miller at 3C?</div></div>

Because when he played centre this season he liked it and he was good at it. Having Miller at 3c is like having two 2nd lines if you can have the right wings...I love the experiment of Skinner, but the risk is high and Canucks are just ending the tire fires of Eriksson and Luongo's retirement debt. They need to learn from their mistakes.

Thread: Ekholm and Patrick

With that Nolan Patrick trade the Canucks don't need to waste time on a person that is high risk for concussion. They are already paying for Ferland.

Plus Karlsson is starting to look like a strong trade for Benning.

Thread: D updating

I love the idea of getting Cernak, but the ask is way more, even with the cap dump of Johnson. What about Joulevi, Woo & 2nd 2021 for Cernak, Johnson (500,000 retained), and 4th 2022. This way Van gets the solid right dman they need, and TB with Foote, Joulevi and Woo right behind they dont skip a beat.

Love the idea of grabbing local boy Jarry for Vancouver, but if Canucks get another Petterson they should target Emil.
The Pittsburgh trade should look more like Schmidt, Dipietro for Jarry, Jesper Lindgren & a 2022 4th.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aero_Astro_Guy</b></div><div>How would you rate an overall Hamonic game?</div></div>

Hamonic has played alright for the Canucks, but is inconsistent and playing above his skill at his age....he is no Tanev. Hamonic is better served on the second or third line.

The problem is finding a good partner for Hughes. The same issue Edmonton faces with McDavid.

Agreed. Plus, look at the age and contract size and term. No-brainer. JK. But seriously, Eberle and Bailey are close, but Eberle has a better defensive side.

Thread: I am once again asking for Cernak

I think this team is awesome! Great job, but the Tampa trade is like everyone says... too much given away. Hold onto Ferland, it doesn't matter. Tampa doesn't need or want Holtby. Something else needs to change for that trade.

Also, you will need a better backup than DiPietro...still too fresh for the NHL and sat too much on the Taxi Squad (thanks Benning) but upon injury DiPietro comes in a steals the show.

Miller has been vocal about playing center. I expect EP-Miller-Horvat as the teams centres next year.

In order to succeed this team requires 3 consistent scoring lines. 3L centred by Sutter or Lind doesn’t accomplish this.</div></div>

I didn't know that about Miller. I would love to see him at Centre. I think that leaves the problem of EP in the faceoff circle (he needs work).

Thread: next year

I think you are out to lunch on this. I think Beagle sits, put Graovac on 4th line centre. Don't resign Edler or Sutter.
Miller - Petterson - Boeser
Hoglander - Horvat - Podkolzin
Pearson - Lind - Highmore
Motte - Graovac - MacEwan
----- (Call Ups/Injury reserves) -----
Gadjovic - Beagle - Hawyrluk

I like Hamonic but look for someone other than Hamonic if available. I like Joulevi and see him improving, but if we can trade him in a package for a strong RD..do it. (i.e., Cal Foote or Cernak, Tanev, or ?) or sign someone like Ceci, Montour, etc.
Then you could shuffle Schmidt over to his dominant side.

Hughes - Hamonic (??)
Schmidt - Trade / Sign (??)
Rathbone - Myers

Thread: Realistic

I like Hamonic, but too much term and money. 1.75mil for 2years. He will likely want a NMC and Benning will give it. You don't resign until after Expansion draft, wait on a hand-shake deal.
I think you have to protect Myers (NTC). If I choose, I keep Motte and Gaudette. JV has run his road. and Big Mac...Love him, but not more than Motte or Gaudette. I doubt we resign Edler, but if we do it would be for more than that. I love that you brought in Tryamkin. I think Rathbone gets a look too.

The Aqualini's are cheap and Benning is a fool, they won't buyout Hotlby. I hope I eat these words.
What about resigning Vesey?

Thread: Steal team under 25 M

Move around the lines a bit. Goaltending is great and young, so deep future. D is okay, but hard to make with so little coin. Bring in Forsling on the LD. What about bringing in Travis Boyd, Vesey or better Galchenyuk as depth pieces? Spezza is a great 4th line

Garland - Verhaege - Buchnevich
Ritchie - Erikson-Ek - Bjorkstrand
Joseph - Blackwell - Galchenyuk
Sheary - Spezzzzza - Appleton
