Thread: Trade and signing in January

No reason for this, we’ve got Brzustewicz and Willander coming up on the right side and potentially Tanev this offseason

Thread: Oilers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Prime_Jimbo</b></div><div>Do you want to end up signing Halak again? Silovs isn't ready. Desharnais is an 8th defenseman</div></div>

He's a short term option for sure, hoping that they can make a deal for Tanev later in the season. In the meantime, never a bad thing to have a goon. I also think Silovs is more ready than you might think and this is a great opportunity to cash in on a team that's down and out (instead of someone cashing in on us)

Thread: Power ranking after first 18th of the season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Watched the game. Can't play against stuart skinner, jack campbell, and kaapo kahkonen every night. Barely generated anything vs Saros Hart Oettenger or hart</div></div>

well we generated 3 goals which was enough to win while allowing just 18 shots, played rly poorly against Hart (every team has a bad game, even the best team in recent nhl history ;) ) and Dallas is a top 5 team in the league that plays a very similar structured smart, (we still won that game btw)

Point is, this team wins in every possible way against teams from worst in the league to 5th best in the league and win very convincingly in many of them.

We also didn't drop points against Washington, St Louis and Arizona so theres that too

Until we stop playing like it, were a top 3 team in the league along with Boston and Vegas

Thread: Cole and Schultz Together Again

I would be more interested in moving Beauvillier instead, similar playing style, similar role (middle 6), similar cap hit, he just expires this year.

I rly like Garland I think he gets looked over a lot

Beauvillier would allow Seattle to make a decision if he is worth keeping or not after this year and would be a bit more tempting for them imo

IDK something about the Habs just appeals to me, seems like a weird connection between us Canucks fans and them.

They will absolutely finish below a lot of teams below them after 82 games but for now I like how they're playing

Thread: garland

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jeremyttowne</b></div><div>Rakell had 28 goals and 60 points last year, which is 11 more goals and 14 more points than Garland. That's only with a $50,000 higher cap hit. There's a ton of defense pieces that I'm sure the Pens would be willing to give u[. Yes, most of them are lefties, but most can play their offside.</div></div>

That's my point. Rakell is too expensive to bring in, Vancouver wants cap space and a RHD not a slightly better winger.

Van needs $20 mil + next year for Pettersson and Hronek, we can't have a $5 million dollar third liner

I think Van would accept. Would def be a 3rd pairing upgrade on Myers. How is he at the eye test? stats seem good but xGA only gets you so far

Thread: garland

We might as well just keep Garland at that point. Rakell is too expensive to be considered a true upgrade on Garland. Joseph is nice but he's left-handed.

The value is decent it's just not what we need atm

Thread: saw this on twitter

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>alwaysnextyear</b></div><div>If CGY begins to consider moving out pending UFA's then VAN should definitely have interest in Tanev. I'd be curious if the Flames would want Garland's term though. I get that part of the reason you're giving up a 1st is to ship out his full contract, but maybe Beauvillier would be of interest to the Flames instead simply because they could flip him for a pick before the deadline as well.</div></div>

TBH i'd prefer sending out Beauvillier too, he's done less this season than Garland. Garlands game has actually been decent this year, he just wants out which is a tough spot for the Canucks to be in

Thread: How can we make this work

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>I’m a Garland fan as a M6 guy; It’s just a matter of roster space. Even without Roslovic, we have too many Fs.

It’d have to be something like Roslovic (with retention), Peeke, and Bemstrom for Garland and a pick.</div></div>

part of the appeal of that trade for me is that Roslovic expires this year. I put Roslovic and Garland on par (they even have similar cap hits) I just think moving cap space out is smartest right now so theres room to play this offseason instead of buying out Garland or retaining.

Neither here nor there without Rathbone now

Thread: Whats he like

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Kid is a beast. Everything is his draft report talked about his offensive game but being a defensive liability, he came out of the gate with a frankly stellar 200 foot game for a 19 year old, let alone one who was supposed to be all offense and no defense. He got his first goal last night against the Canes.

I think the Athletic and other sites who have been ranking him down in the 50s for top prospects in the league have done him dirty. This kid is going to be a problem for the rest of the Pacific division very soon. I don't get how Korchinski can be rated so highly while Mintyukov is down in "middle of the lineup"</div></div>

Always hated the ducks when they were good, and Im gonna hate you guys again in a couple years when mctavish zellweger drysdale mintyukov etc etc etc really get going. I'm a bit jealous especially now that youve managed to keep zegras somehow

Thread: Whats he like

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Physical defender, he's been babysitting Mintyukov so far on third pairing. He's +2 on the season so far which is a rarity for him career wise, and a kinda surprising that there are Ducks with a + rating.

Hasn't exactly stood out so far, but for a defense first defenseman, that's kind of what you want. There is a possibility we don't sell him at the TDL just to continue to cover Mintyukov. His development is more important than the draft capital we would likely get for him.</div></div>

Definetly a fair point, I feel Van or anyone else for that matter could sign a guy like him in the offseason anyways, I just felt like Anaheim shouldn't really care who they move as long as you're getting futures back (outside of your core guys ofc)

Side not, how's Mintyukov looked out of curiosity? He's flown under the radar as far as prospects go
