Thread: Prospects between 20 and 25 deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RHF</b></div><div>Because you don't trade a 20 yr old number 1 over all pick yet. You give him time to develop. He is playing for a team that didn't need to give him 1st line mins right away. He is on a team where he can take his time. Especially for a recycled player who had problems in the locker room his 1st time here. Then you add a 9th over all pick plus a 1st than a 2nd. The ask is embarrassing. I thought this was actually a troll trade scenario</div></div>

First of all the leadership ship is completely different from what Miller dealt with during his first time there which was the beginning of his career. Add to the fact that Kravtsov is just the second prospect in as many years who wants out, it hurts his value, doesn’t matter where in the draft he was selected. Also I think you need to look at the picks it’s a 2nd they got in the Buchnevich trade plus a 3rd that’s two years away.

Sure maybe Lafreniere may pan out, but he’s had opportunities to play in the top 6 with highly skilled players and hasn’t shown to his coach that he can stay in that position

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>armer918</b></div><div>I understand Van declining this offer but some the return that many fans believe JT will return is nuts! I believe the will get the somewhere around the Taylor Hall to Ari trade.
Hall was coming off the MVP and was traded in mid December and had three mil retained.

I understand Hall was a UFA but that was tons of time (conditions) for them to sign him. People saying that JT will get a better return than Jack Eichel is cray to me.</div></div>

Firstly Buffalo traded Hall and got next to nothing, Eichel was traded hurt and unless things change he may or may not end up playing this year which means that they would be burning a year of his contract. Miller is currently healthy and producing points which gives Vancouver an upper hand. you also have to take into account that when Vancouver traded for Miller is was playing on the third line, and getting 40 points; now that he is playing consistent top 6 minutes 60+ points is his threshold. So to think that getting a 1st and two decent prospects with a possible salary dump for the trading partner without salary retention is nuts is not understanding what he brings to the team that would be getting him.

Secondly the biggest issue I have with the Tor package is that Robertson has been injured more than he has been healthy and so that type of player is not one whom the Canucks would deem viable. One of Liljegren or another defensive prospect would be more attractive to Van

Thread: Ari - NYR - Van Blockbuster Blue shirts swing for the fences
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IjustNEEDaTROYgamble</b></div><div>That’s Vancouver extracting value out of 2 future UFA’s and 1 player 2 off-seasons from UFA and a prospect that is pretty equal to the prospect Vancouver would be getting in Soderstrom except he plays on the right side which Vancouver needs badly and losing Zloydeyev sucks but that is the cost of getting Soderstrom</div></div>

I get that, the prospects coming back aren’t the issue. The issue is that Miller and Motte go out and there’s not a forward coming back who could step into the whole creates by Miller. You just call up Lockwood to fill the Motte spot.

Lundkvist and Söderström are D, Kravtsov is in Russia and not sure he could step into that big of a role yet. And I know nothing about Ronning

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Lol what? Wherever you read that should be a website you permanently block. By points percentage they’re comfortably in a playoff spot. Not their fault that the schedule makers decided they wouldn’t play for the first few weeks, and then they got ravaged by covid (well, maybe that is their fault).</div></div>

The article wasn’t talking about this season, they talked about how fans shouldn’t be surprised if after this season they start to trade some of their older players who can bring in prospects or draft capital. They said that it is all because they have been looking 3-5 years down the road and have noticed that they don’t have the prospects to keep the competitive window open, especially with the Rangers, Devils and Senators making strides in development.
