Thread: Should still trade Tanev...
Eriksson SHOULD play with Horvat. Not because Baertschi doesn't deserve 1st/2nd line time, but because Loui's contract pretty much demands that the Canucks deploy him as if he's worth the 6M. He's unmovable as it stands now. Best case scenario he plays his way onto the radar of some contenders but even then, given that he waives his NMC...what are the Canucks going to do, retain how much on his 5 years remaining? Alternatively, if he's going to stay (the contract is also buyout proof), it may was well be with Horvat (and ideally with another big RW) who can make room for him. Watching him and the Sedins move the puck along the perimeter with no hope of getting to the net just isn't entertaining. My changes to deployment would be to move either Sutter or Gagner to the Sedin's RW, to give Henrik a more seasoned center to cover him in the defensive zone. At this stage in his career, he needs the Pavelski treatment that Thorton is getting in San Jose. Same deal, maybe the Sedins make one of them look like intriguing deadline trade bait and we get some picks and prospects.

Thread: Dallas Fans Thoughts?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Larkinisking</b></div><div>Dallas doesn't need any RHD they need LHD So Tanev to Dallas isn't happening.</div></div>

Dallas needs defence period. For someone who is a Detroit fan and witnessed what they did with 6 lefties that is a strange comment. Currently Dallas has..
Hamhuis LHD
Lindell LHD
Oleksiak LHD
Nemeth LHD
Klingberg RHD
Johns RHD
Honka RHD
Pattern RHD

That is a pretty even split for Righties and lefties. Dallas shouldn't be as concerned about what hand a dman shoot as much as best fit to their group. I think Tanev would be a great fit for the Stars and Hitchcock would love him. Dallas should be in a win now mode and although the 3rd is alot to give up, they get to dump a contract (yes I know they could buy him out) in turn they could buy out Lehtonen now and use his money to take a run at Oshie or whoever else they like. Plus a real quality dman, a young forward who scored 20 making less than 1 million plus a second. No it probably wont happen but something both teams should explore because it could help both teams

Thread: I know none of this will actually happen but this is what this website is for. V
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Larkinisking</b></div><div>Yeah good luck if you honestly think that Martin Necas will be on the board at #13, Detroit is heavily scouting Necas and will take him with their #9 pick if he's still on the board then which he should be.</div></div>

Man you act like you are the damn head scout for the Red Wings sitting in their scouting meetings. You are probably the most negative person on this website, at least if you are going to be critical of peoples made up trade proposals and draft be consistent with your opinions. Clearly we like similar players in the draft for our respective teams.. but you go from Detroit not letting Liljegren, Petterson and now Necas pass them in the draft.. you don't know how the draft will turn especially in a year when the # 1 pick is still undetermined. Detroit might have Tippett higher than all three and he could slide to # 9 no one knows. This is who I would like Vancouver to add in the draft.. which from the title of the post won't actually happen.. So either stick with a guy who you want Detroit to take at 9 consistently in your opinions or stop commenting on peoples draft order on who detroit will take because you don't know what the Wings final draft rankings will be

Thread: Ducks 17-18
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Larkinisking</b></div><div>No way is Yzerman trading Drouin for both Vatanen and Theodore, Vatanen probably wont even be ready until Mid-December or early January at the earliest he's out probably at least 6 months if Lindholm is out 4-5 months. Drouin would only be included for a deal around Lindholm and that's not happening. You might get Palat for Vatanen but no way are you getting Drouin.</div></div>

haha dude you act like you know everything. Drouin isn't even in Lindholm discussion so slow down with all your "for sure" accusations. Why wouldn't Tampa do Drouin for Theodore/Vatanen? Not saying they would, but that is a pretty solid offer that would be hard for other teams to top. Theodore/Vatanen would finish rounding out the top-4 and even though Sami's hurt doesn't mean they don't have him under a great contract for another three years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sahil2020</b></div><div>Reinhart is straight trash, and caggiula won't ever be an every day Top 6 forward
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dylan1995</b></div><div>Not saying tanev is bad. He is a great d man. If you'd do a RNH for tanev straight yes but there's no reason the oilers should add to that trade</div></div></div></div>

My point. Tanev &gt;&gt; RNH. Reinhert is unproven and looks to be a bust and Caggiula is a bottom 6 forward. Oilers need to add to get Tanev. There are no free agent options in the price range that the Oilers would need to spend. How can an Oilers fan talk about value when Hall was traded for Larrson? That is clear evidence that quality dmen with low cap hits have immense trade value. IMO this is an easy trade for the Oil to make given what they need to win a cup.
