Thread: Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bdb</b></div><div>Tanev, Joshua and Hronek will definitely be more even if Pettersson and Lindstrom take a hair cut those other players will get a lot more on the open market.</div></div>

Hronek had a great start for production but has fallen off a bit and everyone knows the reason his numbers are so good is from playing beside one of the most gifted puck moving defenseman in the NHL. 6x6 is a nice pay bump and I think he enjoys playing with Hughes enough to take it and run. If Tanev is more find another value D man for short term, he is an aging defensive D man and isnt physically big enough to punish opposing players, at 34 years it's what he is worth. Joshua might be worth more but he's not 2nd line material or 3C and teams are getting smarter about how much they spend on 3rd/4th line wingers there are enough value players he might get less on the market.

Thread: T018 - Trade Rumor
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>Did you maybe miss the part where they had 500+ games lost due to in season injuries? Just maybe has more to do with their lack of scoring than the young guys who were playing fine. There's no interest in adding another $5M winger who's going to get locked in on the 3rd line.</div></div>

Looked it up, the only major forward I see missing significant time for you was Jakub Voracek, between him JakeB and ZackW there is about half your games lost to injury. Voracek is no longer on the team and no one was brought in to fill the gap, maybe Fantilli plays 3c and you move Roslovic to wing and it works out. But I was replying to the previous statement that Columbus was deep on wingers and that to me does not look to be the case.

Thread: Garland
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Mantha has 51 goals in 203 GP going back to 2019-20 (4 seasons not 5); in the same time frame Garland has 70 in 275 GP. Mantha scores 0.25 G/GP; Garland has scored .004 more goals per game over the same period. You can 100% get on Mantha for his injury history and lack of availability, but comparing goal scoring rates is just splitting hairs.</div></div>

Looking up Mantha's injury history he missed 10 games in 21/22 season due to Injury and 1 game in 22/23 meaning he was a healthy scratch for 50 games over the past 2 seasons. You forgot to factor in the other half of the point production where Garland in that same period had 106 assists vs Mantha's 66. so 59 more points over the course of those seasons. Garlands cap hit is almost a million less and he has been playing in a bottom 6 role(due to excess wingers for Van not lack of skill) for the majority of the past 2 seasons making those numbers even more impressive. Van is in no rush to trade garland for a bag of pucks and his value will jump come trade deadline due to the expected cap increase next year.

Thread: Build a Cup Contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DDossett</b></div><div>Also Laf was a previous 1OA. To give up on him for a 3rd because he didnt have a great season and therefore will not demand much on his next deal is simply crazy.</div></div>

Barely over 30 points per 82 games for his 1st two season and a slight bump in his contract year to 39 points, all 3 seasons where not great and thats on a fairly strong team(made playoffs 2 out of 3 years). So with the possibility that this year was a bit of an outlier and he plays wing (a position of strength across the league) he's not going to get a great return even as a former 1OA. Sure with his cost control I would bump it up to a 2nd but thats it. It would be crazy to give up more than that for a player who "could" be a top 6 but currently is more of a 3rd line winger.

Thread: All in after OEL buyout
Now is not the time to commit 5m on a 3C or another D for 6 years. Trade Myers leave OEL on the books for another year even if he sits in the box so his buyout is cheaper develop your own players we have enough wingers and C to fill out our Bottom 6. No one wants Trymakin at this point he's not even showing that well in the KHL, Wolanin is better and comes cheaper than that. Mayfield is a big commitment for an over 30 yr old when Van is trying to get younger. You may as well pick up Schenn again he would come in cheaper and on a shorter term and is proven to do fine with Hughes, but even then you have Bear's RFA rights and will also come in cheaper and shorter term and is younger with better mobility. Also Boeser is a much better top 6 than garland if you are going to trade one that's who should go.

Thread: no bedard
These Trades Destroy Vancouvers depth at all positions aside From D and even then the Defenseman you are getting back is way past his prime

Trade 1
Conner Garland maybe but only if we cannot trade another winger where we get value back vs losing it

Trade 2
Brock can get a 2nd round pick without taking back 8 mil in bad cap space for Vancouver. He's at .775 PPG right now and its still considered a down year due to his lack of goals. He has great Hockey IQ for being in position and while his shooting is down his passing has really improved. IMO he is worth a 1st if we trade him or maybe we keep him and deploy him as playmaker who can still score goals.

Trade 3
That Florida trade is just awful, we get 1 year of Sam and then he hits UFA and lose low cost controlled players to gain what we already have an abundance of in talented wingers. We have more than enough tweener D man that can step up so Carlsson is not needed

Trade 4
Myers will not cost that much to trade once his bonus is paid that's an overpayment and a half to trade him

Trade 5
We have what is arguably a top 5 goalie in the NHL for a great contract, you do not trade that unless you are getting the world and you want to trade him for a former 2nd round pick and a 3rd? That would be up there for worst trade in Vancouver history.

Thread: OEL is not going anywhere
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeautifulIdiot</b></div><div>I think OEL is going to be on LTIR for the remainder of his contract after this season, his back is giving out, look at the way he strides, and the way he uprights himself after being in a scrum, there is something going on with his back. I also think that we would get more out of trading garland now and Beauviller later as Beauviller as a TDL rental piece could fetch a huge amount, probably a 1st and a prospect if he continues at this just under point per game pace. I am wondering about Karlsson as being a piece that gets moved up into the NHL at some point here in the near future, he has shown really well in the AHL and I think that if they can start developing his centre game again he could be a real big asset as 3C, great 2 way game, great shot, great hockey IQ, I think he should be a guy we look at that role. Or we could look at JT Compher if he decides to test the market, RH3C who can kill penalties, I could see patty overpaying for him</div></div>

Yea I like Compher and if that was the piece that pushed this team to a contender I would be for it, as a 3C on a team that is still finding pieces probably more than I would like to spend. I knew Karlsson had decent offensive numbers but wasnt sure how developed his 2 way game or faceoff prowess was. Also that puts your with Aman and Karlsson as 3/4C not much experience there centering your bottom 6. I was also looking at Barbashev again not sure what his price tag is, 60 points last season but this season he dropped a bit(although so did the entire team) if he shows will with Vegas through the playoffs probably puts him out of our price range. If OEL goes on LTIRetirement thats a best case scenario for us, haven't really heard any news regarding OEL on the seriousness of his injury or overall health going forward so currently planning on him returning next year.
