Thread: Canucks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canucks33</b></div><div>I'd rather bring back Tanev than play Edmundson/Hamonic in the top 4.

I don't like the idea of trading Demko. I think we can get by for next year by just moving out Sutter and Baertschi and then waiving Eriksson.

I'm not sure why re-signing Toffoli has become such a priority. We have young wingers who could step in to his spot in the next 1-2 years (Podkolzin, Hoglander, Lind). I don't think we should tie up cap space in something we can replace with an ELC soon.</div></div>

Why does everyone love Tanev so much? He is 30 years old and this is the first time in the last 3 seasons that he has played over 55 games. He gave us a great season on his last year on his contract. Hamonic &amp; Edmundson have played 60+ games the majority of their pro careers. Edmundson is 26 and Hamonic is 29.

Thread: Canucks - The Sad Probability
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>canucks_Fan_53</b></div><div>that's assuming Seattle picks him in the expansion... judging by all the teams lining up to take his contract i'd say low probability of that happening</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aleclunde</b></div><div>If I'm an expansion team, Milan Lucic is pretty close to the bottom of the list of guys I want. This assumed some team building logic on behalf of Seattle.

In 2 years time I'm hoping the Canucks have some guys to worry about being taken; rather than the likes of Luca Sbisa and Milan Lucic.</div></div>

You've also gotta realize they have to hit the cap floor. Lucic could be an easy to get veteran that eats up $6M. For cap floor teams, those are important

Thread: Canucks - Aggressive AF
Easily the most intriguing thing I've ever seen on this website. I don't hate it.. I don't love it though either. Here are my takes

1: CBJ doesn't do this if their entire offense gets gutted via FA (Duchene, Dzingel, Panarin). I feel they'd rather blow up and get pick/prospect for Wennberg rather than a pricy 3LC

2: I like it, CGY could definitely listen to this

3: VAN shouldn't do this only because in the end, NYI wouldn't do Markstrom for 1st (Griess/Lehner both very similar) which would leave VAN without a 1st rd pick

4: BOS clearly didn't resign Schaller for a reason, his very low stock has plummeted even further with a terrible stint in VAN, and why change a Cup winning team? (Sorry St. Louis).

5: Pretending the FLA trade goes through, I think the talent pool drops too much from picks 10-13 to 19 so not a good deal for VAN

6: I have no opinions on why this would or wouldn't go through so... good move for VAN, gets rid of a bit of fringe.

7: Hard to consider giving up the future Captain.. even for Hall. talented as he is, I'd take Horvat's leadership and style of play over Hall's speed and offense. Also, Severson &gt;&gt;&gt; Hutton and Kole Lind's value is pretty nonexistent right now.

8: Don't know if the 5th and 7th are needed.. Granlund for a 4th is a-ok with me.

9: Way too much for Zucker. Virtanen has potential to be Zucker in few years.. that plus 1st and Leivo is over payment. Could see Leivo, 1st for Zucker, 2nd.

10: As discussed above... Lehner = Markstrom, imho. Both fringe goalies that would thrive under defensive systems with Trotz.

Mad props for going outside the box. Love the thought process and even though I don't think GMJB would take that much action in 5 years let alone an offseason it was still really cool to see the time you put into this. Final team is still thin on D and G but a Boeser, Pettersson, Duchene, Hall, Hughes PP1 would be unreal
