Thread: Boeser

Too small of a return for Boeser with retention and Schenn, especially if Vancouver is taking back two bad contracts.

Thread: Arizona

I'd be happy with that return for Schenn.

It will cost more than a 7th round pick to offload Mike Reilly.

I think a Miller for Nylander swap is more likely.

Myers isn't just a cap dump, he's been good this year. Van isn't going to pay to get rid of him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>The cap hits on the OP are basically identical. Canucks still save 50k technically</div></div>

Regardless of the saved $50k, I think OP's proposal makes Vancouver worse. Upgrading from Myers to Marino is not worth downgrading from Garland to Zucker.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>Mmm...maybe, I don't think it's a slam dunk, but they definitely consider</div></div>

Swapping Marino for Myers would be an improvement for sure, but I don't think that improvement is worth giving up Garland and taking on Zucker's contract, especially if Van is retaining.

Thread: This off season might get ugly

Interesting ideas. If Miller is moved this summer, I think it is really important for Van to get a young and established RHD in return. Heimosalmi looks like an intriguing prospect though.
I like the idea of adding Roy and Dadonov from Vegas for a draft pick, and then flipping Dadonov, but I don't think it would make sense for Vegas to take on Ferland's contract. I could see a team that needs to reach the cap floor being interested in Ferland's contract.
Kerfoot would help Van but I.M.O. Van should avoid trading Schenn and any early round draft picks, unless they acquire extra picks.

Not worth it for Vancouver to pay to get rid of Myers. He's been solid this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>But we had Loui Eriksson and still couldn’t get things done smh</div></div>

If Eriksson had only stayed for one more year, Bruce would have turned him into a Selke finalist. Alas, what could have been.

Thread: Off Season

Can't see L.A. moving Kaliyev. Also think Myers could be moved without retaining any of his cap hit, and for at least a half-decent return. He's played well this year in a shutdown role and despite being overpaid, he's a 6'8 right shot d-man, who wears an "A" at times, and plays 20+ minutes a night. I could see him having value to a younger team with cap space. Important to note as well, is that nobody else in Vancouver's system could replace Myers at this point, and his departure would leave a huge hole in the weakest part of the Canucks roster.

Ha! Not sure which would be more hilarious, Ottawa giving us a 3rd for Dickinson, or Ottawa using Dickinson in a shootout

Thread: Unfinished Business

Would probably be a good move to get rid of Dickinson to free up space but even after his solid play lately, I can't see anyone giving up a 3rd for him. But hey, if Hamonic can get a 3rd, then who knows!

Thread: Playoffs Next Year

Interesting deals. Luostarinen, Sturm, and Coghlan could turn out to be pretty decent acquisitions. Personally, I'd rather trade Boeser and keep Garland and I'm not so sure about having both Myers and Schenn in the top 4 again next year. JBD could turn out to be a great partner for Hughes, but this summer, I think VAN should prioritize adding a top 4 RHD who already has some NHL experience. Also, if we don't keep Lammikko or Karlsson, I think it would be a waste not to get any assets for them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>As a Sabre fan, I think the exchange is fair.
While Woo does not add much to the trade, and Buffalo has other GK prospect, they could use Myers and DiPietro be a useful back up.</div></div>

Do you think Myers and Owen Power could work as a pair?

Thread: Vanbuster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeautifulIdiot</b></div><div>I think that it has been a tough year for him, hes kinda an odd guy to play with, he has no comperables, but i think he will be figured out by next year and he will do far better</div></div>

I agree that Garland is worth holding on to. He draws a lot of penalties without taking many himself, he's great in the corners, an underrated playmaker, and I think he could do very well in Boeser's spot on the first powerplay unit. I think that spot might be open next year.

Would love to see Foote in a Canucks jersey, but do you think Tampa would want to move him given he's only making 850K, and their depth on the right side will be pretty shallow if Rutta leaves through free agency this summer?

Thread: Kellys Chaos Crusade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>You think taking on a useable, albeit overpaid player warrants Shea Theodore? We must be living on different planets</div></div>

I think Shea Theodore is what it would take to get a GM to consider taking on a usable, albeit overpaid, 29-year-old with declining production who is signed for another 5 years at $5.9m, and two other contracts which together add up to $7.3m, that Vegas would like to move, or maybe needs to move. Considering Vegas will be weary of someone offer-sheeting their RFAs and that this proposal would leave them with over $18m in cap space, Jack Rathbone, and a 2023 2nd, I don't think it's really that far off when you look at Vegas' cap situation, the value of cap space is right now, and Vegas' track record of bringing in quality players who could compensate for the loss of Theodore and Karlsson.

Would Lehner not be an upgrade over Detroit's goaltending right now? Is there no interest in Lehner at all, or just for the price I suggested?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>Yeah that Vancouver trade is BADDD</div></div>

For sure it would be a tough pill to swallow, much like the Fleury trade last offseason. I'm looking at Karlsson here as a cap dump who would be extremely expensive to offload, given the value of cap space these days. Does Vegas see Karlsson differently?

Keep them all except Juho? I think we should keep him, and explore other avenues to acquire Bemstrom. Maybe a mid round draft pick?

Wow. Canucks F.O. joyfully accept, hang up the phone and bring out the Tequila, after making sure they're not dreaming. If that deal went down it could well be the best trade for Vancouver since Naslund for Stojanov.
